Answer:

A book on its side exerts a greater force.

Explanation:

Pressure = Force / Area

Assuming that 1kg = 10N

2kg = 20N

Area of book lying flat = 0.3m × 0.2m

                                     = 0.6m²

Pressure of book lying flat = 20N / 0.6m²

                                            = 30Pa (1 s.f.)

Area of book on its side = 0.2m × 0.05m

                                        = 0.01m²

Pressure of book on its side = 20N / 0.01m²

                                               = 2000Pa (1 s.f.)

Since 2000Pa (1 s.f.) > 30Pa (1 s.f.), a book on its side applies greater pressure than lying flat.

What total distance will a sound wave travel in air in 3.00 seconds at stp?
dimaraw [331]
At stp conditions (T=0^{\circ}C), the speed of sound is
v=331.2 m/s
The sound wave moves by uniform motion, so we can use the basic relationship between space, time and velocity:
S=vt
where S is the distance covered by the sound wave in a time t. In our problem, t=3.00 s, therefore the distance covered by the sound wave is
S=vt=(331.2 m/s)(3.00 s)=993.6 m

a projectile is shot horizontally from the edge of a cliff, 230m above the ground. the projectile lands 300m from base of the cl
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

The time taken by the projectile to hit the ground is 6.85 sec.

Explanation:

Given that,

Vertical height of cliff = 230 m

Distance = 300 m

Suppose, determine the time taken by the projectile to hit the ground.

We need to calculate the time

Using second equation of motion

s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

Where, s = vertical height of cliff

u = initial vertical velocity

g = acceleration due to gravity

Put the value in the equation

230=0+\dfrac{1}{2}\times9.8\times t^2

t=\sqrt{\dfrac{230\times2}{9.8}}

t=6.85 sec

Hence, The time taken by the projectile to hit the ground is 6.85 sec.
