the sole of a tennis shoe has a surface area of 0.0290 m^2. if it is worn by a 65.0 kg person, what pressure does the shoe exert

AURORKA [14]

Answer: 21965.517 Pa

Explanation:

Pressure $P$ is the force $F$ exerted by a gas, a liquid or a solid on a surface (or area) $A$ , its unit is Pascal $Pa$ which is equal to $N/m^{2}$ and its formula is:

$P=\frac{F}{A}$ (1)

In this case we have the surface of a sole of a tennis shoe:

$A=0.0290 m^{2}$ (2)

And the mass $m$ of the person who wears it:

$m=65 kg$

On the other hand, we know the weight is the force $F$ the Earth exerts on people and objects due gravity $g$ :

$F=m.g=(65 kg)(9.8m/^{2})$

$F=637N$ (3)

Substituting (2) and (3) in (1):

$P=\frac{637N}{0.0290 m^{2}}$ (4)

Finally:

$P=21965.517 Pa$ This is the pressure the shoe exert on the ground

A geneticist looks through a microscope to determine the phenotype of a fruit fly. The microscope is set to an overall magnifica

Ugo [173]

Answer:

$f_{e}$ = 1.9 cm

Explanation:

The magnification of a microscope is the product of the magnification of the eyepiece by the magnifier with the objective

M = M₀ $m_{e}$

Where M₀ is the magnification of the objective and $m_{e}$ is the magnification of the eyepiece.

The eyepiece is focused to the near vision point (d = 25 cm)

$m_{e}$ = 25 / $f_{e}$

The objective is focused on the distances of the tube (L)

M₀ = -L / f₀

Substituting

M = - L/f₀ 25/ $f_{e}$

1) Let's look for the focal length of the eyepiece (faith)

$f_{e}$ = - L 25 / f₀ M

M = 400X = -400

$f_{e}$ = - 12 25 /0.40 (-400)

$f_{e}$ = 1.875 cm

Let's approximate two significant figures

$f_{e}$ = 1.9 cm

If a transmission line in a cold climate collects ice, the increased diameter tends to cause vortex formation in a passing wind.

AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

a) $f_1=5.587Hz$

b) $f_{n+1}-f_n=5.587Hz$

Explanation:

The frequency of the $n^{th}$ harmonic of a vibrating string of length L, linear density $\mu$ under a tension T is given by the formula:

$f_n=\frac{n}{2L} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}$

a) So for the fundamental mode (n=1) we have, substituting our values:

$f_1=\frac{1}{2(347m)} \sqrt{\frac{65.4\times10^6N}{4.35kg/m}}=5.587Hz$

b) The frequency difference between successive modes is the fundamental frequency, since:

$f_{n+1}-f_n=\frac{n+1}{2L} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}-\frac{n}{2L} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}=(n+1-n)\frac{1}{2L} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}=\frac{n}{2L} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}=f_1=5.587Hz$
