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 1000 kg . It seems reasonable to assume that each tire supports one-fourth of the weight. With the ruler you find that the tires are 15 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?

Check the dimensional consistencies of s =vot+1/2at2​
Leni [432]

Answer:

s is distance so it's dimensions become L.

Nd other side we have ut+1\2at^2.

as 1\2 is a constant it will have dimensions and apply the dimensions to other quantities.

on solving u will get L there also i,e ur LHS = RHS.

thus the equation is dimensionally consistent.

50g of ice at 0°C is mixed with 50g of water at 80°C, what will be the final temperature of a mixture in
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

0° C

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of ice, m = 50g

Mass of water, m(w) = 50g

Temperature of ice, T(i) = 0° C

Temperature of water, T(w) = 80° C

Also, it is known that

Specific heat of water, c = 1 cal/g/°C

Latent heat of ice, L(w) = 89 cal/g

Let us assume T to be the final temperature of mixture.

This makes the energy balance equation:

Heat gained by ice to change itself into water + heat gained by melted ice(water) to raise its temperature at T° C = heat lost by water to reach at T° C

m(i).L(i) + m(i).c(w)[T - 0] = m(w).c(w)[80 - T], on substituting, we have

50 * 80 + 50 * 1(T - 0) = 50 * 1(80 - T)

4000 + 50T = 4000 - 50T

0 = 100 T

T = 0° C

Thus, the final temperature is 0° C

QUESTION 7
ryzh [129]

Answer:

<em>The force required is 3,104 N</em>

Explanation:

<u>Force</u>

According to the second Newton's law, the net force exerted by an external agent on an object of mass m is:

F = ma

Where a is the acceleration of the object.

On the other hand, the equations of the Kinematics describe the motion of the object by the equation:

v_f=v_o+at

Where:

vf is the final speed

vo is the initial speed

a is the acceleration

t is the time

Solving for a:

\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f-v_o}{t}

We are given the initial speed as vo=20.4 m/s, the final speed as vf=0 (at rest), and the time taken to stop the car as t=7.4 s. The acceleration is:

\displaystyle a=\frac{0-20.4}{7.4}

a=-2.757\ m/s^2

The acceleration is negative because the car is braking (losing speed). Now compute the force exerted on the car of mass m=1,126 kg:

F = 1,126\ kg * 2.757\ m/s^2

F= 3,104 N

The force required is 3,104 N
