Afriend asks you how much pressure is in your car tires. you know that the tire manufacturer recommends 30 psi, but it’s been a while since you’ve checked. you can’t find a tire gauge in the car, but you do find the owner’s manual and a ruler. fortunately, you’ve just finished taking physics, so you tell your friend, “i don’t know, but i can figure it out.” from the owner’s manual you find that the car’s mass is 1500 kg. it seems reasonable to assume that each tire supports one-fourth of the weight. with the ruler you find that the tires are 15 cm wide and the flattened segment of the tire in contact with the road is 13 cm long. what answer will you give your friend?

Under conditions for which the same room temperature is maintained by a heating or cooling system, it is not uncommon for a person to feel chilled in the winter but comfortable in the summer. provide a plausible explanation for this situation (with supporting calculations) by considering a room whose air temperature is maintained at 20â°c throughout the year, while the walls of the room are nominally at 27â°c and 14â°c in the summer and winter, respectively. the exposed surface of a person in the room may be assumed to be at a temperature of 32â°c throughout the year and to have an emissivity of 0.90. the coefficient associated with heat transfer by natural convection between the person and the room air is approximately 2 w/m2 â‹…â‹… k. what is the ratio of the thermal resistance due to convection to the thermal resistance due to radiation in the summer? what is the ratio of thermal resistances in the winter

The magnitude of the magnetic field at a certain distance from a long, straight conductor is represented by b. what is the magnitude of the magnetic field at twice the distance from the conductor? a. at twice the distance, the magnitude of the field is 4b.b. at twice the distance, the magnitude of the field is 2b.c. at twice the distance, the magnitude of the field is b/2.d. at twice the distance, the magnitude of the field is b/4.e. at twice the distance, the magnitude of the field remains equal to b.

An electron is ejected into a horizontal uniform e⃗ field at a parallel horizontal velocity of v0. assume the electron's initial position x0, initial velocity v0, time t, magnitude of electric field e, electron's mass m, and the magnitude of the electron's charge |e|. ignore the force that earth exerts on the electron. assume the e⃗ field is in the same direction as the initial velocity. part a define the equation for the electron's velocity. express your answer in terms of the variables v0, |e|, t, e, and m.
