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

A very humble bumble bee is flying horizontally due North at a constant speed of 3.11 m/s. At the current location of the bumble
Reil [10]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts of the Magnetic Force. This expression will be expressed in both the vector and the scalar ways. Through this second we can directly use the presented values and replace them to obtain the value of the magnitude. Mathematically this can be described as,

\vec{F_B} = q(\vec{V}\times \vec{B})

F_B = q|v||B| sin\theta

Here,

q = Charge

v = Velocity

B = Magnetic field

\theta = \text{Angle between } \vec{B} \text{ and } \vec{V}

Our values are given as,

\theta = 35.7\°

q = 22.5*10^{-9}C

B = 1.05*10^{-5}T

v = 3.11m/s

Replacing,

F_B = (22.5*10^{-9}C)(3.11 \times 1.05*10^{-5}) sin(35.1\°)

F_B = 4.224*10^{-13}N

Therefore the size of the magnetic force acting on the bumble bee is 4.22*10^{-13}N

You observe two cars traveling in the same direction on a long, straight section of Highway 5. The red car is moving at a consta
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

1)  3.66 s

2) 124.44 m

3) 3.12 s

Explanation:

Let's start by first listing down the information in the question.

Red Car : 34 m/s

Blue Car: 28 m/s

Distance between them : 22 m

The difference in speed between the cars is: 34 - 28 = 6 m/s

This means that the red car is catching up to the blue car at a speed of 6 m/s.

1) We can solve this by just dividing the distance by the difference in speed. This becomes:    \frac{Distance}{Speed}= \frac{22}{6} =   3.66

Thus it takes 3.66 seconds for the red car to catch up to the blue car.

2) We know from (1) that it took 3.66 seconds for the red car to catch up. Since the speed it was travelling at is constant, we only need to multiply it by the time from (1) to get the distance.

This becomes:    Speed * Time = 34 * 3.66 = 124.44

Thus the red car travels 124.44 m before catching up to the blue car.

3) If the red car starts to accelerate the moment we see it, the time taken to get to the blue car will be less than before. We can find this in a simple way.

We can use the motion equation : s = u*t + \frac{1}{2}(a * t^2)

Here s = 22 m

We can take u as the difference in speed. u = 6 m/s

Acceleration a = (2/3) m/s^2

Substituting the these into the equation we get:

22 = 6t + \frac{1}{2}(\frac{2}{3}t^2)

Solving this for the variable 't' using the quadratic formula we get the following two answers:

t1  = 3.12 s

t2 = - 21.12 s

Since t2 is not possible, the answer is t1. This means it takes 3.12 seconds for the red car to catch up to the blue.

Explanation:

When a man falls on a hard cemented floor his momentum reduced to zero in a very short time and hurt the man. Whereas when a man falls on a heap of sand. As sand can compress, it takes longer time for the man to hit the ground (or hard surface)
