You measure the pressure of the four tires of your car each to be 35.0 pounds per square inch (psi). You then roll your car forw

ard so that each tire is upon a sheet of paper. You outline the surface area of contact between each tire and the paper, which you later measure to be 32.0 square inches. What is the weight of your car

Answer:

Weight of car = 36034.88 lb.ft/s²

Explanation:

We are told the pressure of the four tires of your car is; P = 35.0 psi

Also, the surface area of contact is; A = 32 in²

Thus;

Weight of tires = Pressure × Area

W_tires = 35 × 32

Weight_tires = 1120lb.

To get the weight of the car, we will multiply the tire weight by acceleration due to gravity.

It's value in ft/s² is g = 32.174 ft/s²

Thus;

Weight of car = 1120 × 32.174

Weight of car = 36034.88 lb.ft/s²

An electric hair dryer is rated 350w 110v. the safety fuse in the circuit can withstand 12a of current. how many hair dryers can
spayn [35]
To determine the number of hair dryers that can be plugged in to a circuit, our basis is the maximum threshold of the current. The current which measures 12 Amperes. This current already incorporates the safety factor that is important in industrial setting.

The voltage and the current can be related to the power by the equation:

P = I*V, where I is the current in Amperes and V is the voltage in volts

Solving for the total power:

P = 12 A * 110 V
P = 1,320 Watts

Since the power rating of each hair dryer is 350 W, we divide this to the total power to determine the capacity.

Number of hair dryers = 1,320 Watts/350 Watts per hair dryer
Number of hair dryers = 3.77

In this case, we cannot round off to 4 because this would already exceed the maximum power capacity. Therefore, the total number of hair dryers allowable is 3.

Which of the following would produce the most power?
Fantom [35]

Answer:

A mass of 10 kilograms lifted 10 meters in 5 seconds.

Explanation:

Power can be defined as the energy required to do work per unit time.

Mathematically, it is given by the formula;

Power = \frac {Energy}{time}

But Energy = mgh

Substituting into the equation, we have

Power = \frac {mgh}{time}

Given the following data;

Mass = 10kg

Height = 10m

Time = 5 seconds

We know that acceleration due to gravity is equal to 9.8 m/s²

Power = \frac {10*9.8*10}{5} = 490 Watts

Hence, a mass of 10 kilograms lifted 10 meters in 5 seconds would produce the most power.
