The pressure can be solved using the following formula:

P = mg / A

Where: P = pressure
mg = mass * gravity = W = 10.5 N
A = l*w

Solving for A (maximum):

A = 8*3
A = 24 sq. cm

Solving for A (minimum):

A = 15*8
A = 120 sq. cm

Substituting into the first equation:

Pmax = 10.5 N / 24 sq.cm
Pmax = 0.4375 Pa

Pmin = 10.5 N / 120 sq.cm
<span>Pmin = 0.0875 Pa</span>

A brick of mass 2 kg is dropped from a rest position 5 m above the ground. what is its velocity at a height of 3 m above the gro

Rina8888 [55]

We can solve the problem by using the law of conservation of energy.

Using the ground as reference point, the mechanical energy of the brick when it is at 5 m from the ground is just potential energy (because the brick is initially at rest, so it doesn't have kinetic energy):
$E= U = mgh=(2 kg)((9.81 m/s^2)(5 m)=98.1 J$

when the brick is at h'=3 m from the ground, its mechanical energy is now sum of kinetic energy and potential energy:
$E= K+U= \frac{1}{2} mv^2 + mgh'$

where v is the velocity of the brick. Since E is conserved, it must be equal to the initial energy (98.1 J), so we can solve this equation to find v:
$v= \sqrt{ \frac{2(E-mgh')}{m} }=6.3 m/s$

If a metal wire is 4m long and a force of 5000n causes it to stretch by 1mm, what is the strain?

barxatty [35]

Answer:

$2.5\cdot 10^{-4}$

Explanation:

The strain is defined as the ratio of change of dimension of an object under a force:

$S=\frac{\Delta L}{L_0}$

where

$\Delta L$ is the change in length of the object

$L_0$ is the original length of the object

In this problem, we have $L_0 = 4 m$ and $\Delta L=1 mm=0.001 m$ , therefore the strain is

$S=\frac{\Delta L}{L_0}=\frac{0.001 m}{4 m}=2.5\cdot 10^{-4}$

You want to examine the hairy details of your favorite pet caterpillar, using a lens of focal length 8.9 cm 8.9 cm that you just

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

The angular magnification is $M = 2.808$

Explanation:

From the question we are told

The focal length is $f = 8.9cm$

The near point is $n_p = 25.0cm$

The angular magnification is mathematically represented as

$M = \frac{n_p}{f}$

Substituting values

$M = \frac{25}{8.9}$

$= 2.808$

A windowpane is half a centimeter thick and has an area of 1.0 m2. The temperature difference between the inside and outside sur

polet [3.4K]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the heat flux rate expressed in energetic terms. The rate of heat flow is the amount of heat that is transferred per unit of time in some material. Mathematically it can be expressed as:

$\frac{Q}{t} = \frac{kA}{L} (T_H - T_C)$

Where

k = 0.84 J/s⋅m⋅°C (The thermal conductivity of the material)

$A = 1m^2$ Area

$L = 5*10^{-3}m$ Length

$T_H$ = Temperature of the "hot"reservoir

$T_C$ = Temperature of the "cold"reservoir

Replacing with our values we have that,

$\frac{Q}{t} = \frac{kA}{L} (T_H - T_C)$

$\frac{Q}{t} = \frac{(0.84)(1)}{0.005} (15)$

$\frac{Q}{t} = 2520J/s$

Therefore the correct answer is B.
