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?

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.

Sever21 [200]

Answer:

a) High and low pressures are 15.999 kilopascals and 10.666 kilopascals, respectively.

b) High and low pressures are 2.320 pounds per square inch and 1.547 pounds persquare inch, respectively.

c) High and low pressures are 1.632 meters water column and 1.088 meters water column, respectively.

Explanation:

a) <em>High and low pressures in kilopascals</em>:

101.325 kPa equals 760 mm Hg, then, we can obtain the values by a single conversion:

$p_{high} = 120\,mm\,Hg\times \frac{101.325\,kPa}{760\,mm\,Hg}$

$p_{high} = 15.999\,kPa$

$p_{low} = 80\,mm\,Hg\times \frac{101.325\,kPa}{760\,mm\,Hg}$

$p_{low} = 10.666\,kPa$

High and low pressures are 15.999 kilopascals and 10.666 kilopascals, respectively.

b) <em>High and low pressures in pounds per square inch</em>:

14.696 psi equals 760 mm Hg, then, we can obtain the values by a single conversion:

$p_{high} = 120\,mm\,Hg\times \frac{14.696\,psi}{760\,mm\,Hg}$

$p_{high} = 2.320\,psi$

$p_{low} = 80\,mm\,Hg\times\frac{14.696\,psi}{760\,mm\,Hg}$

$p_{low} = 1.547\,psi$

High and low pressures are 2.320 pounds per square inch and 1.547 pounds persquare inch, respectively.

c) <em>High and low pressures in meter water column in meters water column</em>:

We can calculate the equivalent water column of a mercury column by the following relation:

$\frac{h_{w}}{h_{Hg}} = \frac{\rho_{Hg}}{\rho_{w}}$

$h_{w} = \frac{\rho_{Hg}}{\rho_{w}}\times h_{Hg}$ (Eq. 1)

Where:

$\rho_{w}$ , $\rho_{Hg}$ - Densities of water and mercury, measured in kilograms per cubic meter.

$h_{w}$ , $h_{Hg}$ - Heights of water and mercury columns, measured in meters.

If we know that $\rho_{w} = 1000\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}}$ , $\rho_{Hg} = 13600\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}}$ , $h_{Hg, high} = 0.120\,m$ and $h_{Hg, low} = 0.080\,m$ , then we get that:

$h_{w, high} = \frac{13600\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} }{1000\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} } \times 0.120\,m$

$h_{w, high} = 1.632\,m$

$h_{w, low} = \frac{13600\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} }{1000\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} } \times 0.080\,m$

$h_{w, low} = 1.088\,m$

High and low pressures are 1.632 meters water column and 1.088 meters water column, respectively.

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Given that an elevator moving down passes its neighbor, an elevator moving up. Their speed relative to one another is 8 m/s. What is the velocity of each elevator relative to someone standing on the first floor? Assume that the elevators are traveling at the same speed, and that the upward direction is

positive.

Solution

Given that upward direction is positive, then, the downward direction will be negative.

To get a relative velocity of 8m/s

4 - ( - 4 ) = 8

Therefore, the correct answer will be

One elevator is moving at 4 m/s; the other elevator is moving at -4 m/s

Which is option B

Because the negative multiply by negative sign will give positive sign.

Given

4 + 4 = 8.

Does wind have atoms and molecules in it?

Likurg_2 [28]

<span>
Of course. Wind is air in motion, and the gases in air are composed of
all the usual familiar stuff ... atoms, molecules, mass, etc. That's how
the wind moves things ... it has momentum and kinetic energy, which
get transferred to the things that move in the wind.</span>
