Answer:

The pressure produced on the air in the pump is 37.209 pounds per square inch.

Explanation:

By definition, the pressure is the force exerted on the piston divided by its area. Given that, force is distributed uniformly on the piston area, the formula to determine the pressure is:

p = \frac{F}{A}

Where:

p - Pressure, measured in pounds per square inch.

F - Force exerted on the piston, measured in pounds.

A - Piston area, measured in square inches.

If F = 16\,lb and A = 0.43\,in^{2}, the pressure produced on the air in the pump is:

p = \frac{16\,lb}{0.43\,in^{2}}

p = 37.209\,psi

The pressure produced on the air in the pump is 37.209 pounds per square inch.

Why does the density of a substance remain the same for different amount of the substance
tresset_1 [31]

Think of it this way: 
-- Any time you have something that means (some number) PER UNIT,
it doesn't matter how many units there are on the table or in the bucket,
because that amount doesn't change the (number) PER UNIT.

-- If oranges cost $1 PER POUND, it doesn't matter how many pounds
you buy, the whole bagful is still $1 PER POUND.

-- If a certain salad dressing has 40 calories PER Tablespoon, it doesn't
matter whether you eat a drop of it or drink the whole jar.  You still get
40 calories PER Tablespoon.

-- Density means '(mass) PER unit of volume'.  Whether you have a tiny
chip of the substance or a whole truckload of it, there's still the same
amount of mass IN EACH unit of volume.

Answer:

27.1 m/s

Explanation:

Given that at a race car driving event, a staff member notices that the skid marks left by the race car are 9.06 m long. The very experienced staff member knows that the deceleration of a car when skidding is -40.52 m/s2.

Using third equation of motion,

V^2 = U^2 + 2aS

Since the car is decelerating, the final velocity V = 0

Substitute all the parameter into the equation above,

0 = U^2 - 2 * 40.52 * 9.06

U^2 = 734.22

U = \sqrt{734.22}

U = 27.096

U = 27.1 m/s  approximately

Therefore, the staff member can estimate for the original speed of the race car to be 27.1 m/s if it came to a stop during the skid
