Suppose that when you ride on your 7.50 kg bike the weight of you and the bike is supported equally by the two tires. If the gau

ge pressure in the tires is 65.5 lb/in^2 and the area of contact between each tire and the road is 7.03 cm^2. What is your weight?W=____ N

Answer: 567 N

Explanation:

If the weight of the person and the bike are supported equally by the two tires, this means that the force acting on each tire, is half of the total weight.

We know that the gauge pressure in one tire, by definition, is equal to the force on the tire, over the contact surface between each tire and the road, so we can write:

P= F/A = (mrider g + mbike g) / A = (Fgrider + 7.5 kg. 9.8 m/s2) / 703 mm2 (1)

As the pressure data is given in lb/in2, it is needed to convert to N/mm2, as follows:

65.5 lb/in2 = 0.455 N/mm2.

Replacing in (1), and solving for  Fgrider, we have:

Fgrider = 567 N

An astronaut working with many tools some distance away from a spacecraft is stranded when the "maneuvering unit" malfunctions.
N76 [4]

Answer:

He can return to the spacecraft by sacrificing some of the tools employing the principle of conservation of momentum.

Explanation:

By carefully evaluating his direction back to the ship, the astronaut can throw some of his tools in the opposite direction to that. On throwing those tools of a certain mass, they travel at a certain velocity giving him velocity in the form of recoil in the opposite direction of the velocity of the tools. This is same as a gun and bullet recoil momentum conservation. It is also the principle on which the operational principles of their maneuvering unit is designed.
