The total weight of a car with passengers is 30,000N. The area of contact of each of the four tyres with the ground is 0.025m2.

Answer:
<em>The minimum pressure car tire pressure is 300,000 Pa</em>
Explanation:
<u>Pressure</u>
It's a measure of the force exerted by an object per unit surface:
Where F is the force applied on a surface area A.
We are given the total weight of a car with passengers as Ft=30,000 N and we also know the area of contact of each tire with the ground as .
The minimum pressure each tire can have is when the total weight is evenly distributed in all four tires, thus F=Ft/4=7,500 N.
Calculating the pressure:
P=300,000 Pa
The minimum pressure car tire pressure is 300,000 Pa

Answer:
a) Fg = -27.4 N
b) Fnet = 5.2 N
c) a = 1.9 m/s2
Explanation:
a)
- There are two forces acting on the ball, one directed upward (assuming this direction as positive, along the y-axis) which is the tension on the string (lifting force), and another aimed downward, which is the attractive force due to gravity.
- Applying the Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation to a mass close to the surface of the Earth (in this case the ball), we can take the acceleration due to gravity like a constant, that we call by convention g, equal to -9.8 m/s2.
- So, we can write the following expression for Fg:
b)
- The net force on the ball, will be just the difference between the lifting force (32.6 N) and the force due to gravity, Fg:
c)
- According Newton's 2nd Law, the acceleration caused by a net force on a point mass (we can take the ball as one) is given by the following expression:
