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

A ball is tossed straight up from the surface of a small, sphericalasteroid with no atmosphere. The aball rises to a height equa
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

1. 3) only a constant gravitation force that acts downward

2. b) Equal to the accleration at the surface of the asteroidc)

Explanation:

1.

  • In absence of atmosphere, the force that will act on the steroid is the force of gravity due to asteroid.
  • Gravitational force is a long range force acting always attractive in nature.
  • It is a contact-less field force which does not requires a medium.

Mathematically given as:

F=G.\frac{M_1.M_2}{R^2}

where:

G = gravitational constant

M_1\ \&\ M_2 are the mass of the two objects

R= radial distance between the two objects.

2.

The acceleration of the ball at the top height of the path is still under the influence of the gravity of the two masses so it will be equal to the acceleration due to gravity at the surface of the asteroid. Acceleration always remains constant.

A ball is dropped from a height of 20 meters. At what helght does the ball have a velocity of 10 meters/second?
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

5.10 meters.

Explanation:

v²=u²+2gh

or, (10)²=(0)²+2×9.8×h

or, 19.6h=100

or, h=5.10 meters

Hope, this helps you.
