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

In a physics experiment, two equal-mass carts roll towards each other on a level, low-friction track. One cart rolls rightward a
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

The correct answer is option a.

Explanation:

Conservation of momentum :

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_1v_2

Where :

m_1, m_2 = masses of object collided

u_1,u_2 = initial velocity before collision

v_1,v_2 = final velocity after collision

We have :

Two equal-mass carts roll towards each other.

m_1=m_2=M

Initial velocity of m_1=u_1=2 m/s

Initial velocity of m_2=u_2=-1 m/s (opposite direction)

Final velocity of m_1=v_1=v (same direction )

Final velocity of m_2=v_2=v  (same direction)

M\times 2 m/s+M(-1 m/s)=Mv+Mv

1 m/s=2v

v = 0.5 m/s

rg135

The speed of the carts after their collision is 0.5 m/s.
