A friend asks you how much pressure is in your car tires. You know that the tire manufacturer recommends 30 psi, but it's been a

while since you've checked. You can't find a tire gauge in the car, but you do find the owner's manual and a ruler. Fortunately, you've just finished taking physics, so you tell your friend, "I don't know, but I can figure it out." From the owner's manual you find that the car's mass is 1000 kg . It seems reasonable to assume that each tire supports one-fourth of the weight. With the ruler you find that the tires are 13 cm wide and the flattened segment of the tire in contact with the road is 13 cm long.

Answer:

21 psi

Explanation:

The weight of the car is:

W = mg

W = 1000 kg * 9.8 m/s²

W = 9800 N

Divided by 4 tires, each tire supports:

F = W/4

F = 9800 N / 4

F = 2450 N

Pressure is force divided by area, so:

P = F / A

P = (2450 N) / (0.13 m × 0.13 m)

P ≈ 145,000 Pa

101,325 Pa is the same as 14.7 psi, so:

P ≈ 145,000 Pa × (14.7 psi / 101,325 Pa)

P ≈ 21 psi

3. A force is exerted on a positively-charged particle that moves the particle in the direction opposite to that of an electric
NikAS [45]

Answer:

a) The work done on the particle has a positive  sign.

Explanation:

When a positive charge is placed in a electric field , a force is exerted by electric field along the direction of the electric field . But the external force is acting on it so that displacement is opposite to the field . That means the external force is acting opposite to electric force on the charged particle.

The displacement is along the external force applied so both force and displacement are positive . Hence work done is positive .

Work done by electric field is negative , because displacement and electric force are opposite.

You perform a double‑slit experiment in order to measure the wavelength of the new laser that you received for your birthday. Yo
BigorU [14]

Answer:

\lambda = 6.25\times10^{-9}= 625 nm

Explanation:

We now that for

for maximum intensity(bright fringe) d sinθ=nλ n=0,1,2,....

d= distance between the slits, λ= wavelength of incident ray

for small θ, sinθ≈tanθ= y/D where y is the distance on screen and D is the distance b/w screen and slits.

Given

d=1.19 mm, y=4.97 cm,  and,   n=10,   D=9.47 m

applying formula

λ= (d*y)/(D*n)

putting values we get

\lambda = \frac{1.19\times10^{-3}\times4.97\times10^{-2}}{9.47\times10}

on solving we get

\lambda = 6.25\times10^{-9}= 625 nm

A record turntable is rotating at 33 rev/min. A watermelon seed is on the turntable 4.0 cm from the axis of rotation. (a) Calcul
Annette [7]

Answer:

a) a = 0.477 m/s^2

b) u = 0.04862

Explanation:

Given:-

- The rotational speed of the turntable N = 33 rev/min

- The watermelon seed is r = 4.0 cm away from axis of rotation.

Find:-

(a) Calculate the acceleration of the seed, assuming that it does not slip. (b) What is the minimum value of the coefficient of static friction between the seed and the turntable if the seed is not to slip

Solution:-

- First determine the angular speed (w) of the turntable.

                   w = 2π*N / 60

                   w = 2π*33 / 60

                   w = 3.456 rad/s

- The watermelon seed undergoes a centripetal acceleration ( α ) defined by:

                   α = w^2 * r

                   α = 3.456^2 * 0.04

                   α = 0.477 m / s^2

- The minimum friction force (Ff) is proportional to the contact force of the seed.

- The weight (W) of the seed with mass m acts downwards. The contact force (N) can be determined from static condition of seed in vertical direction.

                   N - W = 0

                   N = W = m*g

- The friction force of the (Ff) is directed towards the center of axis of rotation, while the centripetal force acts in opposite direction. The frictional force Ff = u*N = u*m*g must be enough to match the centripetal force exerted by the turntable on the seed.

                    Ff = m*a

                    u*m*g = m*a

                    u = a / g

                    u = 0.477 / 9.81

                    u = 0.04862
