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 quantities are related by Ohm's law? Check all that apply. voltage conductivity current resistance insulation
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer: Current, resistance and voltage are the quantities which are related by Ohm's law.

Explanation:

A law which states that electric current is directly proportional to voltage and inversely proportional to resistance is called Ohm's law.

Mathematically, it is represented as follows.

I = \frac{V}{R}

where,

I = current

V = voltage

R = resistance

This means that the quantities related by Ohm's law include current, voltage and resistance.

Thus, we can conclude that current, resistance and voltage are the quantities which are related by Ohm's law.

Two different liquids are poured into a jar until it is half full. The jar is then sealed shut and shaken. The liquids undergo a
Lilit [14]

Answer:

A closed system.

Explanation:

The three major types of system are: open, closed and isolated. Open system interacts with its surroundings with respect to its particles and energy. A closed system interacts with its surroundings with respect to energy but not its particles. While an isolated system does not interact with its surroundings in any way.

Therefore, after the jar is sealed, it is an example of a closed system. This is because the emitted gas could not escape into the surroundings, but thermal energy was emitted into its surroundings after the chemical reaction has taken place.

If the truck has a mass of 2,000 kilograms , what's its momentum?(v=35 m/s)
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf  70,000 \ kg*m/s}}

Explanation:

Momentum is the product of mass and velocity.

p=m*v

The mass of the truck is 2,000 kilograms and the velocity is 35 meters per second.

m= 2000 \ kg \\v= 35 \ m/s

Substitute the values into the formula and multiply.

p= 2000 \ kg * 35 \ m/s \\p= 70,000 \ kg*m/s

The truck's momentum is <u>70,000 kilograms meters per second.</u>

Four resistors (67 ohm, 83 ohm, 433 ohm, and 309 ohm in that order) are connected in series to a 7.92 V battery of negligible in
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

.737 v

Explanation:

Since they are in series....they all have the same current running through them.....find the total resistance to calculate the current:

R = 67 + 83 + 433 + 309 = 892 ohm

V/R = current = 7.92 / 892 = 8.87 mAmps

Now the voltage across ecah resistor is   I R

 for the second one   8.87 ma * 83 ohm = V = .737 V
