(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

Five basket ball teams are playing in a tournament. The teams will play with each other only one time. How many games will be pl
77julia77 [94]

<em>Ten games</em> will be played.

The first team can be any one of 5 .  For each of those, the opponent can be any one of the other 4 .

Number of ways to pair them up = (5 x 4) = 20 ways .

<em>BUT</em> ... Whether the Reds play the Blues, or the Blues play the Reds, it's the SAME GAME.  Each possible game shows up twice in the list of 20 ways.  So there are really only 10 different pairs ==> <em>10 games</em> .

Which valve installed in a hydraulic system will have the highest pressure setting?
masha68 [24]

ThermalThermal  relief valve installed in a Hydraulic system will have the highest pressure setting.

<h3>What is the hydraulic system? What are the types of hydraulic systems ? </h3>

Hydraulic system function and perform tasks through using a fluid that is pressurized . There are two types of hydraulic systems open loop hydraulic systems and closed loop hydraulic system . In open loop ,when the actuating mechanism is idle ,there will be fluid flow but no pressure.

Closed loop system use an additional pump called charge pump or feed pump.

Thermal relief valve is Designed to protect the pump and operators in circumstances when the pump is running and the discharge outlets have been closed .

if a material has a half-life of 24 hours, how long do you have to wait until the amount of radioisotope is 1/4 its original amo
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

48 hours

Explanation:

Using the formula,

R/R' = 2ᵃ/ᵇ..................... Equation 1

Where R = Original amount, R' = Radioactive remain, a = Total time, b = half life.

Given: b = 24 hours,

Let: R = X, then R' = X/4.

Substitute into equation 1

X/(X/4) = 2ᵃ/²⁴

4 = 2ᵃ/²⁴

2² = 2ᵃ/²⁴

Equating the base and solving for a

2 = a/24

a = 24×2

a = 48 hours.

Hence the time = 48 hours
