Sara and Saba are identical twins who are the same in every way, including their weights. One day, Sara and Saba decided to go f

or a walk in the snow. They got dressed, and then Saba put on her favorite red heels. Meanwhile, Sara, who had always been more practical, put on her snowshoes.
As soon as they stepped out onto the snow, Saba's heels sank right through while Sara had no trouble walking on top of the snow in her snowshoes!

Q1: Why do you think this happened? If Sara and Saba weigh the same and are exactly of the same size, why did Saba fall through the snow while Sara did not?

Q2: Calculate pressure under Sara’s snowshoes.

Q3: How is pressure useful in everyday life? Give an example.

Q4: State the factors affecting pressure.

Q5: How do snowshoes help a person to walk easily on soft snow?

As Saba was wearing high heels they are long from the bottom so they sank however Sana was wearing snow boots which means they were flat and so she didn’t sink.

Two tiny particles having charges 20.0 μC and 8.00 μC are separated by a distance of 20.0 cm What are the magnitude and directio
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

The magnitude and direction of electric field midway between these two charges is 10.8\times10^{5}\ N/C along AB.

Explanation:

Given that,

First charge q_{1}= 20\mu C

second charge q_{2}= 8\mu C

Distance = 20 cm

We need to calculate the electric field

For first charge,

Using formula of electric field

E_{1}= \dfrac{kq_{1}}{r^2}

Put the valueinto the formula

E_{1}=\dfrac{9\times10^{9}\times20\times10^{-6}}{10\times10^{-2}}

E_{1}=18\times10^{5}\ N/C

Direction of electric field along AB

We need to calculate the electric field

For second charge,

Using formula of electric field

E_{2}= \dfrac{kq_{2}}{r^2}

Put the valueinto the formula

E_{2}=\dfrac{9\times10^{9}\times8\times10^{-6}}{10\times10^{-2}}

E_{2}=7.2\times10^{5}\ N/C

Direction of electric field along AO

We need to calculate the net electric field at midpoint

E_{net}=E_{1}-E_{2}

E_{net}=(18-7.2)\times10^{5}\ N/C

E_{net}=10.8\times10^{5}\ N/C

Direction of net electric field along AB

Hence, The magnitude and direction of electric field midway between these two charges is 10.8\times10^{5}\ N/C along AB.

3. A 75kg man sits at one end of a uniform seesaw pivoted at its center, and his 24kg son sits at the
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

The wife have to sit at 0.46 L from the middle point of the seesaw.

Explanation:

We need to make a sketch of the seesaw and the loads acting over it.

And by the studying of the Newton's law we can find the equation useful to find the distance of the mother sitting on the seesaw with respect to the center ot the pivot point.

A logical intuition will give us the idea that the mother will be on the side of her son to make the balance.

The maximum momentum with respect to the pivot point (0) will be:

M=75 *\frac{L}{2}

Where L/2 is the half of the distance of the seesaw

Therefore the other loads ( mom + son) must be create a momentum equal to the maximum momentum.

A traditional set of cycling rollers has two identical, parallel cylinders in the rear of the device that the rear tire of the b
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

ω2  =  216.47 rad/s

Explanation:

given data

radius r1 =  460 mm

radius r2 = 46 mm

ω =  32k rad/s

solution

we know here that power generated by roller that  is

power = T. ω    ..............1

power = F × r × ω

and this force of roller on cylinder is equal and opposite force apply by roller

so power transfer equal in every cylinder so

( F × r1 × ω1)  ÷ 2 = (  F × r2 × ω2 )  ÷  2    ................2

so

ω2  =  \frac{460\times 32}{34\times 2}

ω2  =  216.47

faust18 [17]

The random variable in this experiment is a Continuous random variable.

Option D

<u>Explanation</u>:

The continuous random variable is random variable where the data can take infinite variables. For example random variable is taken for measuring "speed of automobiles" on the highways. The radar instrument depicts time taken by automobile in particular what speed. They are the generalization of discrete random variables not the real numbers as a random data is created. It gives infinite sets of all possible outcomes. It is obvious that outcomes of the instrument depend on some "physical variables" those are not predictable as depends on the situation.
