The air in tires can support a car because gases __________.
1 answer:
Because the air inside the tires is kept at high pressure.
In fact, the force applied by the tires upwards to counter-balance the weight of the car (pushing downwards) is
where p is the pressure of the air inside the tires and A is the area of contact between the tire and the car. Therefore, a higher pressure means a larger force F, and eventually if the pressure p is higher enough the force F will be large enough to counterbalance the weight of the car.

The force of a charge in an electric field is:
In this case we know the electric field is:
and that the charge is that of the electron, then we have:
Therefore, the magnitude of the force is
and in points down.
The weight of the electron is:
Making the quotient between the force we have:
Therefore, the electric force is approximately 1e9 times the weight.
Answer:
B. Landscape B
Explanation:
Shale is fine sediment pressed together to form rock.
Sandstone is larger (sand-grain-sized) sediment cemented together to form rock.
Shale erodes faster, as evidenced by the second attachment. That attachment shows erosion of a rock face consisting of interbedded shale and sandstone. The shale has receded significantly, leaving the sandstone layers with space between them.
