A person who weighs 864 N is riding a 85-N mountain bike. Suppose the entire weight of the rider plus bike is supported equally

by the two tires. If the gauge pressure in each tire is 7.90 x 105 Pa, what is the area of contact between each tire and the ground?

Answer:

A=60.06 x 10⁻⁵ m²

Explanation:

Given that

Weight of the person = 864 N

Weight of the bike = 85 N

The total weight ,car + bike ,Wt= 864 + 85 N

Wt = 949 N

2 p = 949 N

The weight on the each tire(F) = 474.5 N

P = 7.9 x 10 ⁵ Pa

We know that

Force = Pressure x Area

F= P A

By putting the values

474.5 = 7.9 x 10 ⁵ A

A=60.06 x 10⁻⁵ m²

Therefore area of contact A

A=60.06 x 10⁻⁵ m²

what is the dot product and cross product of of two vectors if the angle is between them is 90 degree?

DaniilM [7]

$\sf{\pink{\underline{\underline{\blue{GIVEN:-}}}}}$

The angle between the two vectors is 90° .

$\sf{\pink{\underline{\underline{\blue{TO\: FIND:-}}}}}$

The cross product of two vectors .

$\sf{\pink{\underline{\underline{\blue{SOLUTION:-}}}}}$

⚡ Let $\rm{\vec{a}}$ and $\rm{\vec{b}}$ are the two vectors .

✍️ We have know that,

$\orange\bigstar\:\rm{\pink{\boxed{\green{\vec{a}\:.\:\vec{b}\:=\:ab\cos{\theta}\:}}}}$

Where,

θ = 90°

$\rm{\implies\:\vec{a}\:.\:\vec{b}\:=\:ab\cos{90^{\degree}}\:}$

cos 90° = <u>0</u>

$\rm{\implies\:\vec{a}\:.\:\vec{b}\:=\:ab\times{0}\:}$

$\rm{\implies\:\vec{a}\:.\:\vec{b}\:=\:0\:}$

$\rm{\red{\therefore}}$ [1] The dot product of two vectors is “ <u>0</u> ” .

✍️ We have know that,

$\orange\bigstar\:\rm{\pink{\boxed{\green{\vec{a}\:\times\:\vec{b}\:=\:ab\sin{\theta}\:}}}}$

Where,

θ = 90°

$\rm{\implies\:\vec{a}\:\times\:\vec{b}\:=\:ab\sin{90^{\degree}}\:}$

sin 90° = <u>1</u>

$\rm{\implies\:\vec{a}\:\times\:\vec{b}\:=\:ab\times{1}\:}$

$\rm{\implies\:\vec{a}\:\times\:\vec{b}\:=\:ab\:}$

$\rm{\red{\therefore}}$ [2] The cross product of two vectors is “ <u>ab</u> ” .

17. Matthew has a piece of wood with mass of 278 g and a volume of 375 cm^3. What is the wood’s density? a. Step 1: Formula ____

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

Density =0.74 $g/cm^{3}$

Explanation:

Step 1: Formula

$Density=\frac{Mass}{Volume}$

Step 2: Data

m=278 g

v=375 $cm^{3}$

Step 3:Solve

d= $\frac{278}{375}$ $g/cm^{3}$

d=0.74 $g/cm^{3}$

A new planet is discovered beyond Pluto at a mean distance to the sun of 4004 million miles. Using Kepler's third law, determine

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

103239.89 days

Explanation:

Kepler's third law states that the square of the orbital period of a planet is directly proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit.

a³ / T² = 7.496 × 10⁻⁶ (a.u.³/days²)

where,

a is the distance of the semi-major axis in a.u

T is the orbit time in days

Converting the mean distance of the new planet to astronomical unit (a.u.)

1 a.u = 9.296 × 10⁷ miles

$\frac{4004 * 10^{6}}{9.296 * 10^{7}} = 43.07\ a.u.$

Substituting the values into Kepler's third law equation;

$\frac{(43.07)^{3}}{T^{2}} = 7.496 * 10^{-6}$

$T^{2} = \frac{(43.07)^{3}}{7.496 * 10^{-6}}$ (days)²

$T^{2} = \sqrt{\frac{(43.07)^{3}}{7.496 * 10^{-6}}}$

T = 103239.89 days

An estimate time T for the new planet to travel around the sun in an orbit is 103239.89 days
