A friend asks you how much pressure is in your car tires. You know that the tire manufacturer recommends 30 psi, but it's been a

while since you've checked. You can't find a tire gauge in the car, but you do find the owner's manual and a ruler. Fortunately, you've just finished taking physics, so you tell your friend, "I don't know, but I can figure it out." From the owner's manual you find that the car's mass is 1550 kg. It seems reasonable to assume that each tire supports one-fourth of the weight. With the ruler you find that the tires are 16 cm wide and the flattened segment of the tire in contact with the road is 14 cm long. What answer will you give your friend?

Answer:

25 psi

Explanation:

The weight of the car is:

W = mg

W = 1550 kg * 9.8 m/s²

W = 15,190 N

Divided by 4 tires, each tire supports:

F = W/4

F = 15,190 N / 4

F = 3797.5 N

Pressure is force divided by area, so:

P = F / A

P = (3797.5 N) / (0.16 m × 0.14 m)

P ≈ 170,000 Pa

101,325 Pa is the same as 14.7 psi, so:

P ≈ 170,000 Pa × (14.7 psi / 101,325 Pa)

P ≈ 25 psi

How to find the coefficient of kinetic friction on an incline?
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

An object slides down an inclined plane at a constant velocity if the net force on the object is zero. We can use this fact to measure the coefficient of kinetic friction between two objects.

An airplane is flying at a speed of 45 m/s when it drops a 40 kg food package to the Polar exploration team. If the plane drops
Alina [70]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to energy conservation, so the potential energy in the package must be equivalent to its kinetic energy. From there we will find the speed of the package in the vertical component. The horizontal component is given, as it is the same as the one the plane is traveling to. Vectorially we will end up finding its magnitude. So,

PE = KE

mgh = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

Here,

m = Mass

g = Gravity

h = Height

v = Velocity

Rearranging to find the velocity

v = \sqrt{2gh}

Replacing,

v = \sqrt{2(9.8)(120)}

v = 48.49m/s

Using the vector properties the magnitude of the velocity vector would be given by,

|V| = \sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}

|V| = \sqrt{45^2+48.42^2}

|V| = 66.2m/s

Therefore the package is moving to 66.2m/s
