The tires of a car support the weight of a stationary car. If one tire has a slow leak, the air pressure within the tire will decrease with time, the surface area between the tire and the road will increase with time, and the net force the tire exerts on the road will be constant with time.
Explanation:
when a wheel has an air leak, it means that the inside of the tire has less air, which means that there will be less air pushing the walls of the tire so that the air pressure decreases.
On the other hand, the tire begins to deform due to lack of air which increases the area of contact with the floor.
As the weight of the car remains constant and the air has a negligible mass the force towards the road will be the same
<u>The velocity of a position-time graph is the slope of the line.</u> Slope is rise over run, or rise divided by run. The rise (how many units the line goes up) is 3 units and the run is 1 unit. 3/1 is 3, so the velocity is 3 m/s.
