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

Musya8 [376]

Answer: Skinfold testing

Explanation:

Skinfold testing, is also referred to as calliper testing and it's used to know the body fat percentage. Skinfold testing is an inexpensive, portable, and common way to assess body fat in the fitness industry.

It is typically done with the use of caliper tapes, marker pens which makes it cheap. Skinfold testing isn't usually accurate which is as a result of human errors.

A positively charged particle initially at rest on the ground accelerates upward to 160 m/s in 2.10 s. The particle has a charge
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

The magnitude of the electric field is 8.6\times10^{2}\ N/C

Explanation:

Given that,

Time t = 2.10 s

Speed = 160 m/s

Specific charge =Ratio of charge to mass = 0.100 C/kg

We need to calculate the acceleration

Using equation of motion

a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}

Put the value into the formula

a=\dfrac{160-0}{2.10}

a=76.19\ m/s^2

We need to calculate the magnitude of the electric field

Using formula of electric field

E=\dfrac{F}{q}

E=\dfrac{ma}{q}

E=\dfrac{a+g}{\dfrac{q}{m}}

Put the value into the formula

E=\dfrac{76.19+9.8}{0.100}

E=8.6\times10^{2}\ N/C

The direction is upward.

Hence, The magnitude of the electric field is 8.6\times10^{2}\ N/C
