(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

What is the difference between pitch and volume?
Fantom [35]

Answer:

Pitch is a measure of how high or low something sounds and is related to the speed of the vibrations that produce the sound. Volume is a measure of how loud or soft something sounds and is related to the strength of the vibrations.

Generate description of the right hand rule for finding the magnetic field around a current carrying wire an tell how it is used
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

Right hand thumb rule : It is a rule used to find the magnetic field direction around current carrying wire .

Explanation:

It states that : "If you grasp conductor in your right hand such that thumb points in upward direction ,then the direction in which our finger curls gives the direction of magnetic field or magnetic lines of forces" .

This rule proves that :Current can give rise to magnetism .

Around every current carrying conductor there exist a magnetic field which can be easily felt .

According to this rule : When a current flows in upward direction ,the finger curls in anticlockwise direction and when direction of current reverses ,then the direction of field also reverses .

A magnetic field is entering into a coil of wire with radius of 2(mm) and 200 turns. The direction of magnetic field makes an an
frozen [14]

Answer:

a) <em>2.278 x 10^-5 volts</em>

b) <em>1.139 x 10^-6 Ampere</em>

c) <em>2.59 x 10^-11 W</em>

Explanation:

The radius of the wire r = 2 mm = 0.002 m

the number of turns N = 200 turns

direction of the magnetic field ∅ = 25°

magnetic field strength B = 0.02 T

varying time = 2 sec

The cross sectional area of the wire = \pi r^{2}

==> A = 3.142 x 0.002^{2} = 1.257 x 10^-5 m^2

Field flux Φ = BA cos ∅ = 0.02 x 1.257 x 10^-5 x cos 25°

==> Φ = 2.278 x 10^-7 Wb

The induced EMF is given as

E = NdΦ/dt

where dΦ/dt = (2.278 x 10^-7)/2 = 1.139 x 10^-7

E = 200 x 1.139 x 10^-7 = <em>2.278 x 10^-5 volts</em>

<em></em>

<em></em>

b) If the two ends are connected to a resistor of 20 Ω, the current through the resistor is given as

I = E/R

where R is the resistor

I = (2.278 x 10^-5)/20 = <em>1.139 x 10^-6 Ampere</em>

<em></em>

<em></em>

<em> </em>c) power delivered to the resistor is given as

P = IE

P = (1.139 x 10^-6) x (2.278 x 10^-5) = <em>2.59 x 10^-11 W</em>

A 36.3 kg cart has a velocity of 3 m/s. How much kinetic energy does the object have?
uysha [10]

Answer:

163.35

__________________________________________________________

<u>We are given:</u>

Mass of the object (m) = 36.3 kg

Velocity of the object (v) = 3 m/s

<u>Kinetic Energy of the object:</u>

We know that:

Kinetic Energy = 1/2(mv²)

KE = 1/2(36.3)(3)²            [replacing the variables with the given values]

KE = 18.15 * 9

KE = 163.35 Joules

Hence, the cart has a Kinetic Energy of 163.35 Joules
