Answer:

3.88 × 10^-4 m

Explanation:

Given that a  person who weighs 614 N is riding a 85-N mountain bike. Suppose the entire weight of the rider plus bike is supported equally by the two tires. If the gauge pressure in each tire is 9.00 x 10^5 Pa. What is the area of contact between each tire and the ground?

The total weight = 614 + 85

The total weight = 699N

Let the total area of contact = A

Pressure = Force / A

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

900000 = 699 /A

A = 699 / 900000

A = 7.77 × 10^-4 m

The area of contact between each tire and the ground will be = A/2

That is, 7.77 / 2 = 3.88 × 10^-4 m

Therefore, the area of contact between each tire and the ground is 3.88 × 10^-4 m approximately.

What is kirchoff s law???
kolbaska11 [484]
There are two laws named for Kirchhoff.  The both concern electrical circuits.
Here they are in my own words:

1).  The sum of the voltage drops around any closed loop in a circuit is zero.

2).  The sum of the currents at any single point in a circuit is zero.

Which circuit is a series circuit ?? plz help
gregori [183]

In a series circuit, all of the components are connected in the same 'loop' and the current only has one direction/path it can flow through.

In the first three options, the current has multiple paths it can go through. So these three circuits are parallel and not series.

In the last option, the current only has one path where it can flow through, so that circuit is in series.

So Circuit <u>D </u>is a series circuit.

Answer

Circuit D
