Linear momentum is the product of mass and velocity. In this case, it is simply:
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
Since we are only looking at the vertical height, we can use the free fall equation to find the height:
h = 0.5*g*t^2, where h is height in m, g is acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s^2), and t is time in seconds
h = 0.5*(9.81 m/s^2)*(3.7 s)^2
h = 67.15 m
Therefore, the 7th floor window is 67.15 m above ground level.
