A box exerts 10,000 Pa of pressure on the ground. If the box weighs 1000 N, how much area is in contact with the ground?
Responses
10,000,000 m2
10,000,000 m 2
10 m2
10 m 2
0.1 m2
0.1 m 2
11,000 m2
The correct answer is 1.0 m2.
Pressure (P) = Force (F) / Area (A)
10,000 Pa = 1000 N / A
A = 1000 N / 10,000 Pa
A = 0.1 m2
so the answer is .1 not 1.0
Yes, that's correct. The area in contact with the ground is 0.1 m².
yes, 0.10 m^2
Yes, you can also express the area as 0.10 m².
To determine the area in contact with the ground, we can use the formula:
Pressure = Force / Area
Given that the pressure exerted by the box is 10,000 Pa and the weight of the box is 1000 N, we can rearrange the formula and solve for the area:
Area = Force / Pressure
Area = 1000 N / 10,000 Pa
Area = 0.1 m^2
Therefore, there is 0.1 square meters (m^2) of area in contact with the ground.
To determine the area in contact with the ground, we can use the formula for pressure:
Pressure = Force / Area
Given that the pressure exerted by the box is 10,000 Pa and the weight of the box is 1000 N, we can rearrange the formula to solve for area.
Initially, we have:
Pressure = Force / Area
Substituting in the given values:
10,000 Pa = 1000 N / Area
To solve for the area, we can rearrange the equation as follows:
Area = Force / Pressure
Plugging in the given values, we get:
Area = 1000 N / 10,000 Pa
Simplifying the expression:
Area = 0.1 m^2
Therefore, the area in contact with the ground is 0.1 square meters.
