(20 points) Pressure is a measure of force per unit area or P=F/A. A student is checking the amount of pressure their car exerts

upon the road. The car weighs 2.25 tons ( US short ton ). The student finds the dimensions of each tire's footprint on the road is 12.5 cm X 16.5 cm. In pounds per square inch (psi), what is the total pressure the car exerts upon the road?

Answer:

35.2 ps

Explanation:

Hello!

A US short ton is equal to 2 000 pounds, therefore:

2.25 tons = 4500 pounds

Now lets convert the area of each tire footprint:

1 cm = 0.393701 in

12.5 cm = 4.92126 in

16.5 cm = 6.49607 in

Therefore, the area of the footprint is:   31.9688 in^2

Then, the pressure exerted by the car is given by the weigth devided by the total area, that is 4 times the area of the footprint :

4500 /(4 * 31.9688)  psi = 35.1906 psi

Rounding to the first tenth

35.2 psi

Answer:

2.75 m/s^2

Explanation:

The airplane's acceleration on the runway was 2.75 m/s^2

We can find the acceleration by using the equation: a = (v-u)/t

where a is acceleration, v is final velocity, u is initial velocity, and t is time.

In this case, v is 71 m/s, u is 0 m/s, and t is 26.1 s Therefore: a = (71-0)/26.1

a = 2.75 m/s^2

Where will water evaporate from?
Elodia [21]

Water will evaporate from any water source and life forms. The answer is letter C. An application of heat into water will cause the water to evaporate. This is because the intermolecular forces of attraction of water can be broken by sufficient energy application.
