1m*0.5m=0.5m^2\\
g=10\frac{m}{s^2}\\
300kg*10\frac{m}{s^2}=3000N\\
3000N--0.5m^2\\
\ \ x\ \ --\ 1\\
x=6000Pa=60kPa

The drawing shows a bicycle wheel resting against a small step whose height is h = 0.110 m. The weight and radius of the wheel a
Pavel [41]

Answer:

F=27.39N

Explanation:

Take sum of torques at the point the step touches the wheel, that eliminates two torques

ΣT=T_{N}+T_{f}+T_{W}

Since we are looking for when the wheel just starts to rise up N-> 0 so no torque due to normal force

T_{N}=0

The perpendicular lever arm for the F force is R-h

T_{f}=F*(r-h)

And the T of gravity according to the image

T_{W}=W*(\sqrt{r^2-(r-h)^2}

ΣT=0

T_{N}+T_{f}+T_{W}=0

F*(r-h)+W*(\sqrt{r^2-(r-h)^2}=0

F=\frac{W*(\sqrt{r^2-(r-h)^2}}{r-h}

F=\frac{24.9 N*(\sqrt{0.336^2-(0.336-0.110)^2}}{(0.336-0.11)}

F=27.39N

magnitude of velocity does not change but the direction changes. Can we say that it is an accelerated motion?
Olenka [21]

Answer:

MRCORRECT has answered the question

Explanation:

Since velocity is a vector, it can change either in magnitude or in direction. Acceleration is therefore a change in either speed ordirection, or both. Keep in mind that althoughacceleration is in the direction of the changein velocity, it is not always in the direction ofmotion.

A motorcycle and a police car are moving toward one another. The police car emits sound with a frequency of 523 Hz and has a spe
Firdavs [7]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Dopler's Law. Dopler describes the change in frequency of a wave in relation to that of an observer who is in motion relative to the Source of the Wave.

It can be described as

f = \frac{c\pm v_r}{c\pm v_s}f_0

c = Propagation speed of waves in the medium

v_r= Speed of the receiver relative to the medium

v_s= Speed of the source relative to the medium

f_0 =Frequency emited by the source

The sign depends on whether the receiver or the source approach or move away from each other.

Our values are given by,

v_s = 32.2m/s \rightarrow Velocity of car

v_r = 14.8 m/s \rightarrow velocity of motor

c = 343m/s \rightarrow Velocity of sound

f_0 = 523Hz \rightarrowFrequency emited by the source

Replacing we have that

f = \frac{c + v_r}{c - v_s}f_0

f = \frac{343 + 14.8}{343 - 32}(523)

f = 601.7Hz

Therefore the frequency that hear the motorcyclist is 601.7Hz

Two waves are superposed. one wave has an amplitude of 5 cm, and other has an amplitude of 4 cm. What is the resultant amplitude
Vsevolod [243]
If both waves have the same wavelength, then the amplitude of
their sum could be anything between 1 cm and 9 cm, depending
on the phase angle between them.

If the waves have different wavelengths, then the resultant is a beat
with an amplitude of 9 cm.
