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

What is the period of a wave with the wave speed of 12m/s and a frequency of 60 hz?
aleksklad [387]
To determine the period of a wave you need not utilize the value for the wave speed. 

The formula for the period is T= 1/f
T stands for period/time while f is for frequency. Substitute the value for the frequency which is 60 Hz. That would give you:

T= 1/60 Hz

convert Hz to cycles per second to extract the unit of time (s).

60 Hz x 1/s/1 Hz=  60/s

To continue the computation:

T=1/60/s that will give you a T= 0.017 s or 17 ms.

A subtence floats or sinks in onother becauseof its relitivity
Helga [31]
No.  A substance floats or sinks in another substance because of
the densities of both of them.

If the density of the substance is more than the density of the other
one, it will sink.  If less than the density of the other one, it will float.
