A cat stands on a scale and finds its weight to be 4.0 kilograms. If the weight exerted by all four of its paws on the scale is .25 kilograms per square centimeter, what is the area of one of its paws in square centimeters?

Explanation:

Given that:

a cat stands on a scale and finds its weight to be 4.0 kilograms.

thus; the Force F the cat exerted on the scale = 4.0 kg

If the weight exerted by all four of its paws on the scale is .25 kilograms per square centimeter

i.e the Pressure P exerted by all the four paws weighs = 0.25 kg/cm²

Then:

The total area of the cat's paws is = 16 cm^2

Since a cat have 4 paws; the determine the area of one of its paws in square centimeters; we have ⇒

sodium (na), for example, has one electron in its valence shell. this is an unstable state because that valence shell needs eight electrons to be full. in order to fill its valence shell, find a way to add seven electrons to its valence shell

answer: the primary difference between a hypothesis and a theory is that b hypothesis is falsifiable, but a theory has been proven to be correct. theory is an explanation of something that is happening but hypothesis is a guess of something that can happen
