We have,

Jane mass is 55 kg
His body covered with 700 nails all of them having a surface area of 1.00 mm² each = 700 × 1 = 700 mm² = 700/1000000 = 7/10000

We know that,

Pressure = Force/Area

Let's calculate force as we already have area;

F = ma
F = 55 × 9.8 { Acceleration due to gravity }
F = 539 N

Now, if should she would be on 700 nails then pressure will be;

P = F/A
P = 539/7 × 10000
P = 5390000/7
P = 770,000 Pascal

And if should would be on a 1 nail only,

P = F/A
P = 539/1 × 1000000
P = 539000000 Pascal

As, you can notice yourself that the pressure will be so high with only 1 nail and because of this, nail will pass through jane's body.

A tennis player standing 12.6 m from the net hits the ball at 3.18° above the horizontal. To clear the net, the ball must rise a

SOVA2 [1]

At the vertex, it's vertical velocity is 0, since it has stopped moving up and is about to come back down, and its displacement is 0.33m.
So we use v² = u² + 2as (neat trick I discovered just then for typing the squared sign: hold down alt and type 0178 on ur numpad wtih numlock on!!!) ANYWAY.......
We apply v² = u² + 2as in the y direction only. Ignore x direction.
IN Y DIRECTION:
v² = u² + 2as
0 = u² - 2gh
u = √(2gh) (Sub in values at the very end)
So that will be the velocity in the y direction only. But we're given the angle at which the ball is hit (3° to the horizontal). So to find the velocity (sum of the velocity in x and y direction on impact) we can use: sin 3° = opposite/hypotenuse = (velocity in y direction only) / (velocity)
So rearranging,
velocity = (velocity in y direction only) / sin 3°
= √(2gh)/sin 3°
= (√(2 x 9.8 x 0.33)) / sin 3°
= 49 m/s at 3° to the horizontal

Why are the peaks opposite in direction?

blagie [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

Peaks are in opposite direction because change in magnetic field at one end of the coil is opposite to the change in magnetic field at other end of the coil. Faraday's law predict that the direction of induced voltage is dependent on the nature of change in magnetic field

A baseball approaches home plate at a speed of 44.0 m/s, moving horizontally just before being hit by a bat. The batter hits a p

Luda [366]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Speed of the baseball, u = 44 m/s

Speed of the baseball, v = 53 m/s

Mass of the ball, m = 145 g = 0.145 kg

Time of contact between the ball and the bat, t = 2.2 ms = 0.0022 s

$F=ma$

$F=\dfrac{mv}{t}$

$F_1=\dfrac{0.145\ kg\times 44\ m/s}{0.0022\ s}$

F₁ = 2900 N...........(1)

$F=ma$

$F=\dfrac{mv}{t}$

$F_2=\dfrac{0.145\ kg\times 53\ m/s}{0.0022\ s}$

F₂ = 3493.18 N.........(2)

In average vector form force is given by :

$F=F_1+F_2$

$F=(2900i+(-3493.18)\ N$

$F=(2900i-3493.18j)\ N$

Hence, this is the required solution.

11. You want to calculate the displacement of an object thrown over a bridge. Using -10 m/s2 for acceleration due to gravity, wh

Natalka [10]

Displacement is d

Vf² = Vi² + 2 g d

(-20²) = (+10²) + 2 (-9.8) d

-19.6 d = 300

d = -15.3 m

negative means lower

time is t

d = Vi t + 1/2 g t²

-15.3 = 10 t + (-4.9) t²

4.9 t² - 10 t -15.3 = 0

t = 3.06 s

By what factor must the amplitude of a sound wave be decreased in order to decrease the intensity by a factor of 2?

alina1380 [7]

I believe that the answer to the question asked above is the following

sound intensity = sound power / (4 pi R2)

so if you decrease the intensity by a factor of 2 the sound wave will also decrease by a factor of 2.

Hope my answer would be a great help for you. If you have more questions feel free to ask here at Brainly.
