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

How do I find displacement
almond37 [142]
The displacement is just the distance between the starting point and the
ending point, and you don't care about the route taken or the actual distance
covered along the way.

This can bite you sometimes.  For example, some day you'll be given the
diameter of a circle, and you'll be asked for the displacement of an ant that
walks around the circle 17 times and finally stops at the same place it
started from.  You might go to work calculating the circumference of the
circle and multiplying it by 17.  But if you think about it first, you realize that
if the ant ends up at the place he started from, then his displacement is zero.

Calculate the number of molecules/m3 in an ideal gas at stp.
vivado [14]
STP (Standard Temperature and Pressure) has the following conditions:

Temperature = 273.15 K = 0°C
Pressure = 101325 Pa = 101.325 KPa = 1 atm

We also know that 1 mole = 6.022x10^23 molecules

Using the ideal gas equation: PV=nRT

n/V = P/RT

molecules/V = P*6.022x10^23/RT
molecules/V = 101325 Pa (6.022x10^23 molecules/mole)/ (8.314 Pa-m3/mol-K)(273.15K)

molecules/V = 7.339x10^27 molecules/m^3 - Final answer
