0.04m²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Pressure = 250000Pa

Weight = 40000N

Unknown:

Area of each foot = ?

Solution:

Pressure is the force exerted per unit area of a body

  Pressure = \frac{force}{area}

To find the area;

        Area = \frac{force }{pressure}

    Area = \frac{40000}{250000} = 0.16m²

The force exerted by all the four feet is 0.16m²

the area of each feet = \frac{0.16}{4} = 0.04m²

The value of specific heat for copper is 390 J/kg⋅C∘, for aluminun is 900 J/kg⋅C∘, and for water is 4186 J/kg⋅C∘.
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

The equilibrium temperature is

21.97°c

Explanation:

This problem bothers on the heat capacity of materials

Given data

specific heat capacities

copper is Cc =390 J/kg⋅C∘,

aluminun Ca = 900 J/kg⋅C∘,

water Cw = 4186 J/kg⋅C∘.

Mass of substances

Copper Mc = 235g

Aluminum Ma = 135g

Water Mw = 825g

Temperatures

Copper θc = 255°c

Water and aluminum calorimeter θ1= 16°c

Equilibrium temperature θf =?

Applying the principle of conservation of heat energy, heat loss by copper equal heat gained by aluminum calorimeter and water

McCc(θc-θf) =(MaCa+MwCw)(θf-θ1)

Substituting our data into the expression we have

235*390(255-θf)=

(135*900+825*4186)(θf-16)

91650(255-θf)=(3574950)(θf-16)

23.37*10^6-91650*θf=3.57*10^6θf- +57.2*10^6

Collecting like terms and rearranging

23.37*10^6+57.2*10^6=3.57*10^6θf+91650θf

8.2*10^6=3.66*10^6θf

θf=80.5*10^6/3.6*10^6

θf =21.97°c

An observer O is standing on a platform of length L = 90 m on a station. A rocket train passes at a relative (constant) speed of
Natali [406]

Answer:

Explanation:

Since the front and back of the rocket simultaneously line up with forward and backward end of the platform respectively .

Then length of the platform = length of the train rocket .

A )

Time to cross a particular point on the platform

= length of rocket train / .96 x 3 x 10⁸

= 90 /  .96 x 3 x 10⁸

= 31.25 x 10⁻⁸ s

B)  Rest length of the rocket = length of platform = 90 m

C ) length of platform  as viewed by moving observer =

\frac{90}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2 } } }

= \frac{90}{\sqrt{1-\frac{0.92}{1 } } }

= 321 m

D )  For the observer on platform time taken = 31.25 x 10⁻⁸ s

for the observer in the rocket , time will be dilated so time recorded by observer in motion ,

31.25\times10^{-8} \times \sqrt{1-\frac{.96^2}{1} }

8.75 x 10⁻⁸ s .

Two resistors have resistances R1= ( 24+- 0.5)ohm and R2 = (8 +-0.3)ohm . Calculate the absolute error and the percentage relati
zysi [14]

Answer:

Absolute error=0.006

Percentage Relative error=0.6

Explanation:

The resistors have resistance of 24 ohm and 8 ohm.

The change in resistance is 0.5 and 0.3 ohm respectively.

Relative error for parallel combination of resistors is

= dR/R²

= dR1/R1² + dR2/R2²

= 0.5/(24)² + 0.3/(8)²

= 0.5/ 24*24 + 0.3/ 64

= 0.5/576+0.3/ 64

= 32 + 172.8/ 36,864

=204.8/ 36,864=0.0055

=0.006

Percentage error =Relative error *100

= 0.006* 100 = 0.6
