When an object is above the Earth's surface it has gravitational potential energy (GPE). The amount of GPE an object has depends on its mass and its height above the Earth's surface.
The weight of an object is the size of the force of gravity pulling the object down. When an object falls it transfers GPE to KE (kinetic energy).
Answer:
25 psi
Explanation:
The weight of the car is:
W = mg
W = 1550 kg * 9.8 m/s²
W = 15,190 N
Divided by 4 tires, each tire supports:
F = W/4
F = 15,190 N / 4
F = 3797.5 N
Pressure is force divided by area, so:
P = F / A
P = (3797.5 N) / (0.16 m × 0.14 m)
P ≈ 170,000 Pa
101,325 Pa is the same as 14.7 psi, so:
P ≈ 170,000 Pa × (14.7 psi / 101,325 Pa)
P ≈ 25 psi
Answer:
TO answer this question i need wave speed
Explanation:
Answer:
Distance = 3.69 × 10^9 m
The distance from the probe to Earth is 3.69 × 10^9 m
Explanation:
Distance from the probe to the Earth can be derived using the simple motion formula;
Distance = speed × time .....1
Since a radio signal uses an electromagnetic wave to transfer signal, it has the same speed as the speed of light.
Speed of radio signal = speed of light = 3.0 × 10^8 m/s
time taken to reach the earth = 12.3 seconds
Substituting the values of speed and time into equation 1;
Distance = 3.0 × 10^8 m/s × 12.3 s
Distance = 36.9 × 10^8 m
Distance = 3.69 × 10^9 m
Note: all electromagnetic radiation have the same speed which is equal to 3.0 × 10^8 m/s
