In a circus act a 64.3 kg magician lies on a bed of nail. The bed consists of a large number of evenly spaced, relatively sharp nails mounted in a board so that the points extend vertically outward from the board/while the magician lying down, approximately 1900 nails make contact with hisbody. 1. What is the average force exerted by each nail on the magician's body?
2. If the area of contact at the head of each nail is1.26x10-6 m2 , what is the average pressure at each contact?

We all use gps today, even if we don't drive yet. i bet you have been in the car with a parent and they have asked you to get out your phone to find a specific location. in your car, on the phone, you are using a very sophisticated technology. gps satellites circle the earth twice a day in a very precise orbit and transmit signal information to earth. gps receivers take this information and use trilateration to calculate the user's exact location. essentially, the gps receiver compares the time a signal was transmitted by a satellite with the time it was received. the time difference tells the gps receiver how far away the satellite is. now, with distance measurements from a few more satellites, the receiver can determine the user's position and display it on the unit's electronic map. what type of signal is utilized by the gps satellite?

Any color picture tube and electric field exerts a net force of magnitude 1.68x 10^-13 n on an electron the rest mass of an electron is 9.11 x 10^-13 what is the electron acceleration?

Asatellite component is in the shape of a cube with 10cm edges, has an evenly distributed mass of 2 kg and one bolt hole at each of four corners. if the maximum predicted random vibration environment is 10 grms, what bolt size would be a good choice for restraint? what other factors might drive bolt size besides force/stress?
