The force exerted on the pumpkin by

the wall is 600N.

HOW TO CALCULATE FORCE:

The force exerted by the wall on the pumpkin can be calculated by multiplying the mass of the pumpkin by the acceleration.

However, the acceleration of the pumpkin needs to be calculated by the following expression:

a = (v - u)/t

Where;

a = acceleration (m/s²)
v = final velocity (15m/s)
u = initial velocity (0m/s)
t = time (0.05s)

a = (15 - 0)/0.05

a = 15/0.05

a = 300m/s²

F = 2kg × 300m/s²

F = 600N

Therefore, the force exerted on the pumpkin by the wall is 600N.

An expensive vacuum system can achieve a pressure as low as 1.00×10^{-7} N/m^2 at 20ºC . How many atoms are there in a cubic cen

marta [7]

Answer:

$24.70818432141\times 10^7\ atoms$

Explanation:

P = Pressure = $1\times 10^{-7}\ N/m^2$

V = Volume = 1 cm³

n = Amount of substance

N = Number of atoms

$N_A$ = Avogadro's constant = $6.022\times 10^{23}\ /mol$

R = Gas constant = 8.314 J/k mol

T = Temperature = 273.15+20 = 293.15 K

From the ideal gas law

$PV=nRT\\\Rightarrow n=\frac{PV}{RT}$

$n=\frac{N}{N_A}$

$\frac{N}{N_A}=\frac{PV}{RT}\\\Rightarrow N=N_A\times \frac{PV}{RT}\\\Rightarrow N=\frac{1\times 10^{-7}\times 1\times 10^{-6}}{8.314\times 293.15}\times 6.022\times 10^{23}\\\Rightarrow N=24708184.32141\ atoms=24.70818432141\times 10^7\ atoms$

The number of atoms is $24.70818432141\times 10^7\ atoms$

What are the units for the spring constant, k? A. newton meters B. newton seconds C. newtons/meter D. newtons/second E. newtons/

mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

C. N/m (newtons/meter)

Explanation:

Since the equation for potential energy for a spring is PE = 1/2kx², after you know <em>k </em>and <em>x</em>, you will get an answer in Joules.

Please let me know if you want me to explain further!

Thanks!

Answer:

2354.4 Pa

40221 Pa

Explanation:

$\rho$ = Density = 1000 kg/m³

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

h = Depth

The pressure difference would be

$\Delta P=\rho gh\\\Rightarrow \Delta P=1000\times 0.24\times 9.81\\\Rightarrow \Delta P=2354.4\ Pa$

The pressure difference in the first case is 2354.4 Pa

$\Delta P=\rho gh\\\Rightarrow \Delta P=1000\times 4.1\times 9.81\\\Rightarrow \Delta P=40221\ Pa$

The pressure difference in the second case is 40221 Pa
