Distinguish between pressure and force in the case of wang yourself on a common bathroom scale

Physics
1 answer:
bixtya [17]2 years ago
5 0

Answer: hey here's your answer...

Explanation: We can think of a force as a push on a surface, such as the force due to gravity you exert when standing on a bathroom scale. Pressure involves the distribution of force. The scale measures force, not pressure, so your weight reading is the same no matter how you distribute your weight on the scale.

Hope this helps...

Have a nice day-

Various radial points on a rotating Ferris wheel have: I. different linear velocities II. different angular velocities III. equa
Oliga [24]

Answer:

I) True,  II) False,  III) False,  IV) True    

Explanation:

In this exercise, it is asked to answer different statements, for this we will use the relationship between angular and linear velocity

           v = w r

let's review the claims

I) True. From the initial equation we see that the linear velocity depends on the radius

II) False. All points rotate with the same angular velocity

III) False. Linear velocity changes with radius

IV) True. The angular velocity of all points is the same

The time between a lightning flash and the following thunderclap may be used to estimate, in kilometers, how far away a storm is
Kruka [31]

Given Information:  

Elapsed time = t = 6 seconds

Required Information:

Distance = d = ?

Answer:

Distance = d = 2.058 km

Explanation:

We know that the speed of sound in the air is given by

v = 343 m/s

The relation between distance, speed and time is given by

distance = speed*time

substituting the given values yields,

distance = 343*6

distance = 2058 m

There are 1000 meters in 1 km so

d = 2058/1000

d = 2.058 km

Therefore, the storm is about 2.058 km away when elapse time between the lightning and the thunderclap is 6 seconds.

Does energy or matter ever disappear? Explain.
maria [59]

Answer:

The first law of thermodynamics doesn't actually specify that matter can neither be created nor destroyed, but instead that the total amount of energy in a closed system cannot be created nor destroyed (though it can be changed from one form to another).
