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

Because CMB radiation was _____ throughout the universe, scientists can only relate the source to the big bang.
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer: 1 The correct answer is that CMB radiation was spread uniformly throughout the whole universe.This was related to big band theory because this theory predicts that the universe was a very hot place and as it cooled down it should have been filled with laterally the remnant heat over from the Big Bang called as cosmic microwave background.

Answer: 2 CMB radiation was discovered accidentally when Penzias and Wilson were performing some experiment and they noticed a ' hum' noise that was constantly detected by the antenna even after removing all the disturbing sources.

Then it was realized that it is cosmic microwave background radiation.

A meter stick is suspended vertically at a pivot point 22 cm from the top end. It is rotated on the pivot until it is horizontal
suter [353]

Answer:

5.82812 rad/s

Explanation:

L = Length of meter stick = 1 m = 100 cm

m_c = The center of mass of the stick = \frac{L}{2}-0.22=0.5-0.22=0.28\ m

\omega = Angular velocity

Moment of inertia of the system is given by

I=I_c+mr^2\\\Rightarrow I=\frac{mL^2}{12}+mr^2\\\Rightarrow I=\frac{m1^2}{12}+m0.28^2\\\Rightarrow I=m(\frac{1}{12}+0.0784)

As the energy in the system is conserved

mgh=I\frac{\omega^2}{2}\\\Rightarrow mgh=m(\frac{1}{12}+0.0784)\frac{\omega^2}{2}\\\Rightarrow gh=(\frac{1}{12}+0.0784)\frac{\omega^2}{2}\\\Rightarrow \omega=\sqrt{\frac{2gh}{\frac{1}{12}+0.0784}}\\\Rightarrow \omega=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 9.81\times 0.28}{\frac{1}{12}+0.0784}}\\\Rightarrow \omega=5.82812\ rad/s

The maximum angular velocity is 5.82812 rad/s

5. How much time does it take for a bird flying at a speed of 45 kilometers per hour to travel a
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

40h

Explanation:

Use the velocity formula to solve

v = \frac{d}{t}

In this question, you are given velocity v = 45km/h, and you are given a distance, d = 1800km.  Time in this question is what you'll need to find.

Start by rearranging the velocity formula, to isolate for t.

v = \frac{d}{t}

Start by multiplying both sides by t

v(t) = \frac{d}{t}(t)\\\\vt = d

Then divide both sides by v.

vt\frac{1}{v} = d/v\\ \\t = \frac{d}{v}

Now that you've isolated for time, sub in your values and calculate.

t = \frac{d}{v} = \frac{1800km}{45km/h} = 40 h
