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-

Which description matches up correctly with each type of particle? Alpha - no mass and no charge; beta - mass of 4 and charge of
Veseljchak [2.6K]
The closest answer is
Alpha - mass of 4 and charge of +2; beta - no mass and charge of -1; gamma - no mass and no charge (consists of energy)

It’s not exactly correct because a beta particle has the (small) mass of an electron (also the positron). All other choices are way off, I’d go with this one.

7. Mrs. Everhart developed the theory that all bulldogs are great pets. After all her bulldog Meatball is a
Advocard [28]

Answer: No.

Explanation:

A scientific theory is an explanation of some aspect of the natural world that can be tested several times, and follows the scientific method. And, when possible, theories are tested with experiments.

Now, a scientific theory must meet some criteria, and one of those is that it must be supported by several (and independent) strands of evidence.

In this case, we have only one, Meatball, and it is not enough, then it can not be a scientific theory.

a group of students working in a high school chemistry lab believe they have discovered a new element! how exciting! upon furthe
maw [93]

Explanation:

From the experiment:

      Number of protons  = 74

      Number of neutrons  = 110

Number of protons in an element is the atomic number of the element. It is used to locate and position and element on the periodic table.

For a neutral or uncharged atom, the number of protons is the same as the number of electrons.

The element whose number of protons or atomic number if 74 is Tungsten

  Mass number  = 74 + 110  = 184g/mol

A plane passes over Point A with a velocity of 8000 m/s north. Forty seconds later it passes over Point B at a velocity of 10,00
Airida [17]

Answer:

The planes’ acceleration from A to B is 500m/s^2

Explanation:

Given that the initial velocity u is 8000m/s

and also given the final velocity v=10,000 m/s

the time taken to move from A to B = 40 second

The acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity with time

we know that the expression for acceleration is given as

a=(v-u)/t

substituting our given data into the expression for a we have

a=(10000-8000)/40

a=2000/40

a=500m/s^2

The planes’ acceleration from A to B is 500m/s^2

The mini-refrigerator fire was most likely caused by what type of wiring?
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer: The copper wiring most likely caused the mini-refrigerator fire.

Explanation: A mini-refrigerator may have one or more evaporator fan motors. These motors have copper wiring. In some situation these copper wires gets overheated. It may result to the firing of the mini-refrigerator.

Therefore, the mini-refrigerator fire was most likely caused by copper wiring.
