Calculate the pressure exerted on a surface by a brick of weight 10 N. The area in contact with the surface is 20 cm2

5000

Explanation: pressure: force / area

SI unit of force: newton

SI unit of area: metre²

Force exerted: 10 N

Area on which it is exerted : 20 cm²

Since area has to be in m² , we convert cm² to m² by dividing it by 10000( m:100cm, 1m²: 10000 cm²)

Area=20/10000: 0.002 m²

So, pressure= 10/0.002=5000 pa( SI unit of pressure is pascal)

increasing transnational kinetic energy. because the transnational kinetic energy formula consists of only two variables, mass and velocity, increasing one of those properties is the only way to increase an object's transnational kinetic energy. increases to mass and velocity, however, do not have the same impact.
