When is the pressure of the man on the ground more – lying position or standing

Physics
1 answer:
Wittaler [7]2 years ago
7 0

Hi,

<u>The man on the ground in standing position has more pressure</u>. This is because when he stands, only his legs are in contact with the ground. While lying, his body is more in contact with the ground, therefore, he exerts less pressure.

To the point, a man standing position on the ground had more pressure.

More is the area of contact, less is the pressure efforted.

Thank you...

A toaster using a Nichrome heating element operates on 120 V. When it is switched on at 28 ∘С, the heating element carries an in
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

The final temperature of the element = 262.67°C

The power dissipated in the heating element initially = 163.21 W

The power dissipated in the heating element when the current reaches 1.23 A = 147.60 W

Explanation:

Our given parameters include;

A Nichrome heating element operates on 120 V.

Voltage (V) = 120V

Initial Current (I₁) = 1.36 A

Initial Temperature (T₁) = 28°C

Final Current (I₂) = 1.23 A

Final Temperature (T₂) = unknown ????

Temperature dependencies of resistance is given by:

R_{T(2)}=R_1[1+\alpha (T_2-T_1)]            ----------------------    (1)

in which R₁ is the resistance at temperature T₁

R_{T(2) is the resistance at temperature T₂

Given that V= IR

R = \frac{V}{I}

Therefore, the resistance at temperature 28°C is;

R_{28}= \frac{120V}{1.36A}

= 88.24Ω

R_{T(2) = \frac{120V}{1.23A}

= 97.56Ω

From (1) above;

R_{T(2)}=R_1[1+\alpha (T_2-T_1)]      

97.56 = 88.24 [ 1 + 4.5×10⁻⁴(°C)⁻¹(T₂-28°C)]

\frac{97.56}{88.24}= 1+(4.5*10^{-4})(T-28^0C)

1.1056 - 1 = 4.5×10⁻⁴(°C)⁻¹(T₂-28°C)

0.1056 = 4.5×10⁻⁴(T₂-28°C)

\frac{0.1056}{4.5*10^{-4}}= T-28^0C

T - 28° C = 234.67

T = 234.67 + 28° C

T = 262.67 ° C

(b)

What is the power dissipated in the heating element initially and when the current reaches 1.23 A

The power dissipated in the heating element initially can be calculated as:

P = I²₁R₂₈

P = (1.36A)²(88.24Ω)

P = 163.209 W

P ≅ 163.21 W

The power dissipated in the heating element when the current reaches 1.23 A can be calculated as:

P= I^2_2R_{T^0C

P = (1.23)²(97.56Ω)

P = 147.598524

P ≅ 147.60 W

What is the mass of a truck in grams of it produces a force of 1500N while accelerating at a rate of 6 m/s²?​
aleksley [76]

Answer:

250,000

Explanation:

<h2> </h2>

<h2>formula = ( F=ma </h2>

  • F=1500N
  • a=6m/s^2
  • F= ma
  • m=?
  • 1500/6 = m
  • m=250 kg
  • 1kg =1000gm so 250kg =250,000gm
  • m =250×10^3 gm

The operating temperature of a tungsten filament in an incandescent light bulb is 2450 K, and its emissivity is 0.350. Find the
natulia [17]

Answer:

The value is   A =  2.80 *10^{-4} \  m^2

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The  operating temperature is  T  =  2450 \  K

The emissivity is  e =  0.350

 The  power rating is  P  =  200 \  W

Generally the area is mathematically represented as

      A = \frac{P}{ e *  \sigma  *  T^2}

Where  \sigma is the Stefan Boltzmann constant  with value  

      \sigma  =  5.67 *10^{-8} \  W/m^2\cdot K^4

So

     A =  \frac{200}{0.350 *  5.67*10^{-8} *  2450^{4}}

     A =  2.80 *10^{-4} \  m^2

Arisa [49]

Answer:

A. nuclear fusion reactions

C. it's still hot from the big bang

Explanation:

The inside of the earth is hot due to some reasons. This heat provides the internal energy the drives processes within the earth interior. Here are some of the ways in which the heat has accumulated:

  • Nuclear reactions within the earth interior by fusion and other radioactive processes releases a large amount of heat.
  • Some heat accreted during the early formation of the earth and has not been lost till this day.
  • Heating due to friction

These are some of the sources of the earth's internal heat.

What value do we use to describe acceleration due to gravity
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

9.8 m/s2

Explanation:

In the first equation above, g is referred to as the acceleration of gravity. Its value is 9.8 m/s2 on Earth. That is to say, the acceleration of gravity on the surface of the earth at sea level is 9.8 m/s2.

Got it from the internet, hope it helps though ^^
