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 bat hits a moving baseball. If the bat delivers a net eastward impulse of 0.80 N-s and the ball starts with an initial horizon
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

0.084 kg

Explanation:

I = 0.80 N-s (East wards) = 0.80 i N-s

u = 3.8 m/s = - 3.8 i m/s

v = 5.7 m/s = 5.7 i m/s

Let m be the mass of bat.

I = m (v - u)

0.8 i = m ( 5.7 i + 3.8 i)

0.8 i = m x 9.5 i

m = 0.084 kg

If hydrogen and helium are the most abundant elements in the unoverse , then why are living organisms composed primarily of carb
Mumz [18]

Answer:

Most of materia isnt life.

Explanation:

The living organisms (life) aren't the most abundant thing in universe.

Hydrogen and helium are present in everywhere, but life isn't.

There is no reason to think because we have a lot of a thing, the life must be made for this thing.

The organic life just can exists because some mysterious properties about carbon, that is the basic foundation of life, carbon is a special element, why? We don't know, actually, it's a huge problem for science discover why the carbon can makes life be possible and other elements can't. But we know is this element that makes life possible.

So, note there isn't relation about the quantity of a material in Universe and the life constituition. In addition, look around, organic materials are very rare in Universe, Earth is one in lots of places and in most of this places there isn't sign of life.

Even in Earth the life looks abundant, in Universe it isn't, the same way in Universe the Hydrogen and Helium are abudant, in Earth isn't soo.
