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

Suppose you have two point charges of opposite sign. As you move them farther and farther apart, the potential energy of this sy
drek231 [11]

Answer:

(b) Increases

Explanation:

The potential energy between two point charges is given as;

U = F*r = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r}

Where;

k is the coulomb's constant

q₁  ans q₂ are the two point charges

r is the distance between the two point charges

Since the two charges have opposite sign;

let q₁ be negative and q₂ be positive

Substitute in these charges we will have

U = \frac{k(-q_1)(q_2)}{r} \\\\U = - \frac{kq_1q_2}{r}

The negative sign in the above equation shows that as the distance between the two charges increases, the potential energy increases as well.

Therefore, as you move the point charges farther and farther apart, the potential energy of this system relative to infinity Increases.

If you throw a ball to your friend, the ball ____________.
hram777 [196]
”Newton's third law: If an object A exerts a force on object B, then object B must exert a force of equal magnitude and opposite direction back on object A.”

I would think that then the answer is B because the ball would have the opposing force to your hand.

If a rock falls from a cliff, at what point are its kinetic energy and its potential energy the same? Ignore air resistance.
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

The gravitational potential energy it had from being above the ground is converted to kinetic energy as the rock falls. As kinetic energy increases, the velocity of the rock will also increase.

A truck driving along a highway road has a large quantity of momentum. If it moves at the same speed but has twice as much mass,
oee [108]

If the truck moves at same speed but twice as much mass, its momentum is increased twice.

Answer:

Explanation:

Momentum is defined as the force experienced by any object for a given time. In other words, it is the measure of the mass and velocity required for a certain motion. So it is determined as the product of mass and velocity of any object.

Momentum = Mass × Velocity.

As momentum is directly proportional to both mass and velocity, increase in any one of these two quantities keeping the other constant will lead to increase in the momentum.

So in the present case, it is stated as speed is kept constant and the mass is increased twice, then the momentum will also increase twice.

New momentum = 2 ×mass × velocity = 2 × old momentum

If the truck moves at same speed but twice as much mass, its momentum is increased twice.
