An object is at rest. There are several forces acting on the object, but the net force is zero. If all the

1 answer:

3 0

It would not. Imagine four forces equal in magnitude but opposite in direction (e.g. north, east, south, and west). If these forces were to double in magnitude they would still have the same magnitude, meaning the net force is still equal to zero.

The weight of a person is 500N and his foot imprint area is 0.5m^2.Calculate the total pressure exerted by person when he stands

Ghella [55]

Answer:

Pressure on both feet will be $500N/m^2$

Explanation:

Weight of the person F = 500 N

Area of foot print $A=0.5m^2$

Area of both the foot $A=2\times 0.5=1m^2$

We have to find pressure on both the feet

Pressure is equal to ratio of force and area

So pressure $P=\frac{F}{A}$

$P=\frac{500}{1}=500N/m^2$

So the pressure on both feet will be $500N/m^2$ when person stands on both feet.

The specialty of an athlete on the women's track team is the pole vault. She has a mass of 48 kg and her approach speed is 8.9 m

Lyrx [107]

Answer:

H = 3.9 m

Explanation:

mass (m) = 48 kg

initial velocity (initial speed) (U) = 8.9 m/s

final velocity (V) = 1.6 m/s

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^{2}

find the height she raised her self to as she crosses the bar (H)

from energy conservation, the change in kinetic energy = change in potential energy

0.5m(V^{2} - [test]U^{2}[/tex]) = mg(H-h)

where h = initial height = 0 since she was on the ground

the equation becomes

0.5m(V^{2} - [test]U^{2}[/tex]) = mgH

0.5 x 48 x (1.6^{2} - [test]8.9^{2}[/tex]) = 48 x 9.8 x H

-1839.6 = 470.4 H (the negative sign indicates a decrease in kinetic energy so we would not be making use of it further)

H = 3.9 m

If you travel 1.7 km north from your house at noon, and at 6:00 PM you travel 5.4 km south, what is your displacement? 3.7 km no

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer

3.7 Km south

Explanation

The definition of displacement is the distance traveled in a specific direction. It is the vector quantity. We add displacements like the way we add vectors.

Taking the direction towards North to be positive (+1.7 Km), the distance towards south would be negative (-5.4 Km).

Now lets add the two values.

(+1.7) + (-5.4) = 1.7 - 5.4

= - 3.7 Km But negative was towards south.

∴ Answer = 3.7 Km south.

If temperature increases, then pressure __________.

lilavasa [31]

If the temperature increases, then pressure increases too. (The molecules in the gas move faster, exerting a greater force. This increases the pressure.)
