Answer:

Pressure

Explanation:

Let , us understand by a simple example. Let us apply some force into a needle into a cardboard what we observe , we saw that the needle get into the cardboard.

Now we will apply the same force with a water bottle into the same cardboard , now we noticed that it doesn't get buried into it.

In both examples we noticed that force applied in both the cases is equal but the surface area of the object in which force applied is different.

Here come the term pressure.

Pressure is defined as force applied per unit area.

Therefore , as area increases pressure also decreases . That's why bottle don't get buried but needle go through it.

Racewalking involves more impact than running. true false

natta225 [31]

I think the statement is false. Racewalking involves less impact than running. It is a long-distance discipline within the sport of athletics. Although it is a foot race, it is different from running in that one foot must appear to be in contact with the ground.

When heather grabbed the glass of ice water, the ice cubes were floating at the top. why were the ice cubes floating in the wate

tiny-mole [99]

The ice cubes were floating in water because they are less dense than liquid water. When water is frozen, a structure that is crystalline is formed that is held by hydrogen bonding. Due to the orientation of these bonds, the moleules would push far away from each other causing it to have a bigger volume and a lower density.

You are watching a wave with a frequency of 512 Hz go past. How many peaks of the wave go past you each minute?

inna [77]

Answer:

61440 peaks

Explanation:

A hertz represents one cycle for every second:

$f= Hz=\frac{1}{s}$

So if a wave have frequency of 2Hz for example, this means the wave does two cycles per second.

Normally the waves are represented by cosine or sine waves. These kind of waves have two peaks in each cycle, one positive and one negative. With this in mind, let's calculate how many peaks of the wave pass each minute.

A minute has 60 seconds, hence:

$60*512=30720\hspace{3}cycles\hspace{3}per\hspace{3}minute$

And we know already that every cycle has two peaks, so:

$30720*2=61440\hspace{3}peaks\hspace{3}per\hspace{3}minute$

Need some help with these two physics problems!

Juliette [100K]

The force that keeps the puck moving is 0.25 N while the velocity of the puck is 3.7 m/s.

<h3>What is the centripetal force?</h3>

We know that the centripetal force is the force that acts on a body that is moving along a circular path. In this case, we are told that the puck is moving along a circular path hence it is acted upon by the centripetal force that acts on it.

The centripetal force in this case would be supplied by the weight of the object that is moving in the circular path. Thus we can write in our equation that;

Centripetal force = Weight of object = mg

m = mass of the object

g = acceleration due to gravity

Then;

W = 0.026 Kg * 9.8 m/s^2

W = 0.25 N

To obtain the velocity of the object;

FT = mv^2/r

v = √ FT r/m

v = √0.25 * 1.4/0.026

v = 3.7 m/s

How much work is done on an object that is moved to acquire a displacement of 5 meters when 500 Newtons of force was exerted?

grandymaker [24]

Answer:

2,500 Joules (J) or Newton Meter (N M)

Explanation:

Work = Force x Distance

The force in this equation is 500 Newtons. The distance (displacement) is 5 meters. Plug it into the equation above.

Work = 5m x 500n

Work = 2,500 Joules or Newton-Meters.

Therefore 2,500 Joules or Newton Meters of work is done on an object.
