Question
In a 30.0-s interval, 500 hailstones strike a glass window of area 0.600m2 at an angle of 45.0
to the window surface. Each hailstone has a mass of 5.00 g and a speed of 8.00 m/s. Assuming the collisions are elastic,find (a) the average force and (b) the average pressure on the window during this interval.

- A cylinder is fitted with a piston, beneath which is a spring, as in the drawing. The cylinder is open to the air at the top. Friction is absent. The spring constant of the spring is 3600 N/m. The piston has a negligible mass and a radius of 0.010 m. (a) When the air beneath the piston is completely pumped out, how much does the atmospheric pressure cause the spring to compress? (b) How much work does the atmospheric pressure do in compressing the spring? * I know that a is = 0.0088422743 m but b is NOT 8.950712099 J (wrong) please show work of how to work part b.arrow_forwardA hand-driven tire pump has a piston with a 2.1 cm diameter and a maximum stroke of 24 cm.
