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 parallel-plate capacitor with circular plates of radius R is being charged by a battery, which provides a constant current. At
NikAS [45]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the magnetic field.

According to the information, the magnetic field INSIDE the plates is,

B=\frac{1}{2} \mu \epsilon_0 r

Where,

\mu =Permeability constant

\epsilon_0 =Electromotive force

r = Radius

From this deduction we can verify that the distance is proportional to the field

B \propto r

Then the distance relationship would be given by

\frac{r}{R} = \frac{B}{B_{max}}

r =\frac{B}{B_{max}} R

r = \frac{0.5B_{max}}{B_{max}}R

r = 0.5R

On the outside, however, it is defined by

B = \frac{\mu_0 i_d}{2\pi r}

Here the magnetic field is inversely proportional to the distance, that is

B \not\propto r

Then,

\frac{r}{R} = \frac{B_{max}{B}}

r = \frac{B_{max}{B}}R

r = \frac{B_{max}{0.5B_{max}}}R

r = 2R

How are human cheek cells and human skin cells similar and different​
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

human cheek cell has got a nucleus, rbc doesnot

human cheek cell is found in the cheeks n made there whereas rbc is made in the bonemarrow and found in blood

human cheek cell serves the function of supplying nutrition to cheek by simply exchange while rbc transports oxygen around the body..

cheek cell can reproduce rbc cannot asit is non nucleated.The epithelial cells in the lining of the mouth are referred to as basal mucosa and divide roughly every 24 hours. They can easily be obtained through a simple swab or a mouth rinse. The cheek cell is very simple, but it contains the entire genetic makeup of the person's body. For this reason, cheek cells are frequently used to establish paternity and other investigations involving DNA. More recently, researchers have discovered that the cheek cell can be used to measure a person's likelihood of having high blood pressure.

A human cheek cell is thin, flat and irregularly shaped and has a large nucleus that contains the DNA. Its plasma membrane helps the cell to maintain suitable temperature while giving it its shape. Since it is selectively permeable, it only allows certain molecules into and out of the cell. Its cytoplasm contains water that dissolves nutrients and enzymes. It is an animal cell so it is different from plant cell.and the difference will be same as that with animal cell

A dandelion seed floats to the ground in a mild wind with a resultant velocity of 26.0 cm/s. If the horizontal component velocit
stira [4]

Answer:

24 cm/s

Explanation:

Applying

Pythagoras theorem,

a² = b²+c²............. Equation 1

Where a = resultant, b = vertical component, c = horizontal component

From the question,

Given: a = 26 cm/s, c = 10 cm/s

Substitute these values into equation 1

26² = b²+10²

676 = b²+100

b² = 676-100

b² = 576

b = √576

b = 24 cm/s

Find the west component of 45 m 19º S of W
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

The west component of the given vector is - 42.548 meters.

Explanation:

We need to translate the sentence into a vectoral expression in rectangular form, which is defined as:

(x, y) = (r_{x}, r_{y})

Where:

r_{x} - Horizontal component of vector distance, measured in meters.

r_{y} - Vertical component of vector distance, measured in meters.

Let suppose that east and north have positive signs, then we get the following expression:

(x, y) = (-45\cdot \cos 19^{\circ}, -45\cdot \sin 19^{\circ})\,[m]

(x, y) = (-42.548,-14.651)\,[m]

The west component corresponds to the first component of the ordered pair. That is to say:

x = -42.548\,m

The west component of the given vector is - 42.548 meters.

a 5.00 × 105 kg rocket is accelerating straight up. Its engines produce 1.50 × 107 of thrust, and air resistance is 4.50 × 106 N
Angelina_Jolie [31]
This one is simple :)

use the equation F = ma and then re-arrange for a.

a = F / m

But there is a trick, so be careful. the question gives you wind resistance. Simply subtract the wind resistance from the thrust of the rocket to get the net force upward.

1.50 * 10^7N - 4.5 8 10^6N = 1.05 * 10^7N

So,

a =  \frac{F}{m} =  \frac{1.05*10^7N}{5.00*10^5kg}
