Pressure .. as the contact area is increased ..

Answer: Pressure

Explanation:

Pressure can be defined as the ration of force of and area.

$Pressure=\frac{Force}{Area}$

For the same amount of force, the pressure exerted is larger over smaller area of contact and for larger area of contact, pressure exerted would be smaller.

Hence, If the punch was instead a slap, the same force would be distributed over a larger contact area and it would lower the Pressure of the blow.

A swimmer does 3,560 J of work in 55 s. What is the swimmer’s power output? Round your answer to two significant figures. The po

Natasha2012 [34]

The value of the swimmer's power output is calculated by dividing the work done by the time it took for the work to be completed. From the given in this item,
P = 3560 J/ 55 s = 64.73 W
Rounding off to two significant figures will give us 65 W.

Imagine you derive the following expression by analyzing the physics of a particular system: M= (mv2r)(mGr2). Simplify the expre

alex41 [277]

Answer:

The simplified expression is $M = \frac{v^2 r}{G}$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

$M = \frac{ \frac{m v^2}{r} }{\frac{ mG}{r^2 } }$

So simplifying we have

$M = \frac{m v^2}{r} * \frac{r^2 }{ mG }$

$M = \frac{v^2 r}{G}$

Thus the simplified formula is $M = \frac{v^2 r}{G}$

Angular and Linear Quantities: A child is riding a merry-go-round that has an instantaneous angular speed of 1.25 rad/s and an a

serious [3.7K]

To solve this problem we will use the kinematic equations of angular motion in relation to those of linear / tangential motion.

We will proceed to find the centripetal acceleration (From the ratio of the radius and angular velocity to the linear velocity) and the tangential acceleration to finally find the total acceleration of the body.

Our data is given as:

$\omega = 1.25 rad/s \rightarrow$ The angular speed

$\alpha = 0.745 rad/s2 \rightarrow$ The angular acceleration

$r = 4.65 m \rightarrow$ The distance

The relation between the linear velocity and angular velocity is

$v = r\omega$

Where,

r = Radius

$\omega =$ Angular velocity

At the same time we have that the centripetal acceleration is

$a_c = \frac{v^2}{r}$

$a_c = \frac{(r\omega)^2}{r}$

$a_c = \frac{r^2\omega^2}{r}$

$a_c = r \omega^2$

$a_c = (4.65 )(1.25 rad/s)^2$

$a_c = 7.265625 m/s^2$

Now the tangential acceleration is given as,

$a_t = \alpha r$

Here,

$\alpha =$ Angular acceleration

r = Radius

$\alpha = (0.745)(4.65)$

$\alpha = 3.46425 m/s^2$

Finally using the properties of the vectors, we will have that the resulting component of the acceleration would be

$|a| = \sqrt{a_c^2+a_t^2}$

$|a| = \sqrt{(7.265625)^2+(3.46425)^2}$

$|a| = 8.049 m/s^2 \approx 8.05 m/s2$

Therefore the correct answer is C.

the distance between the sun and earth is about 1.5X10^11 m. express this distance with an SI prefix and kilometers

Angelina_Jolie [31]

First, we write the SI prefixed. The SI unit for distance is meters.

Kilo = 10³
Mega = 10⁶
Giga = 10⁹
Terra = 10¹²

Because our value has ten to the power of 11, we will use the closest and lowest power prefix, which is giga.

1.5 x 10¹¹ / 10⁹
= 1.5 x 10² Gm or 150 Gm

Writing in kilometers, we simply repeat the procedure except we divide by 10³ this time.

1.5 x 10¹¹ / 10³
= 1.5 x 10⁸ km
