Answer:

True

Explanation:

When the air blows from high pressure to an area of low pressure over the surface of the earth it is called wind.

The greater the pressure difference more is the speed of the wind. The instrument used to measure the speed of the wind is called an anemometer.

The winds are named after the direction from which they flow.

Calm winds are the slowest of its kind whereas the gale-winds are the strongest winds.

Two bicycle tires are set rolling with the same initial speed of 3.30 m/s along a long, straight road, and the distance each tra

vredina [299]

Answer:

At low pressure- $\mu_{k}=0.02315$

At high pressure- $\mu_{k}=0.00445$

Explanation:

Initial speed, $V_{i}=3.3 m/s$

Final speed, $V_{f}=3.3/2= 1.65 m/s$

Net horizontal force due to rolling friction $F_{net}=\mu_{k}$ mg where m is mass, g is acceleration due to gravity, $\mu_{k}$ is coefficient of rolling friction

From kinematic relation, $V_{f}^{2}- V_{i}^{2}=2ad$

For each tire,

$V_{f}^{2}- V_{i}^{2}=2\mu_{k}gd$

Making $\mu_{k}$ the subject

$\mu_{k}=\frac {V_{f}^{2}- V_{i}^{2}}{2gd}$

Under low pressure of 40 Psi, d=18 m

$\mu_{k}=\frac {1.65^{2}- 3.3^{2}}{2*9.8*18}=-0.02315$

Therefore, $\mu_{k}=0.02315$

At a pressure of 105 Psi, d=93.7

$\mu_{k}=\frac {1.65^{2}- 3.3^{2}}{2*9.8*93.7}=-0.00445$

Therefore, $\mu_{k}=0.00445$

uysha [10]

Answer:

Time=8.23880597 seconds

Explanation:

Quantity of charge(q)=2.76c

Current(I)=0.335A

Time(t)=?

t=q/I

t=2.76/0.335

t=8.23880597seconds
