Answer:
p = 200Pa
Explanation:
From its definition, the pressure depends on the force exerted on the floor by the cabinet, and the perpendicular area in which it is applied. This is expressed in the formula:
Since the force the cabinet exerts on the floor is its weight, we can use the given values to calculate the pressure exerted on the floor:
In words, the pressure the cabinet exerts on the floor is 200Pa.
B) The amount of work done
Answer:
29.16 J
Explanation:
From Hook's law,
W = 1/2(ke²)..................... Equation 1
Where W = work done, k = Spring constant, e = extension.
Given: W = 9 J, e = 0.5 m.
Substitute into equation 1
9 = 1/2(k×0.5²)
Solve for k
k = 18/0.5²
k = 72 N/m.
The work done required to stretch the spring by additional 0.4 m is
W = 1/2(72)(0.4+0.5)²
W = 36(0.9²)
W = 29.16 J.
Answer:
Second one
Explanation:
Lying on the floor is something you can do with the least amount of energy
Answer:
t = 2.58*10^-6 s
Explanation:
For a nonconducting sphere you have that the value of the electric field, depends of the region:
k: Coulomb's constant = 8.98*10^9 Nm^2/C^2
R: radius of the sphere = 10.0/2 = 5.0cm=0.005m
In this case you can assume that the proton is in the region for r > R. Furthermore you use the secon Newton law in order to find the acceleration of the proton produced by the force:
Due to the proton is just outside the surface you can use r=R and calculate the acceleration. Also, you take into account the charge density of the sphere in order to compute the total charge:
with this values of a you can use the following formula:
hence, the time that the proton takes to reach a speed of 2550km is 2.58*10^-6 s
