A person who weighs 625 N is riding a 98-N mountain bike. Suppose that the entire weight of the rider and bike is supported equa

lly by the two tires. If the pressure in each tire is 7.60 x 10^5 Pa, what is the area of contact between each tire and the ground?

Answer:

A = 4.76 x 10⁻⁴ m²

Explanation:

Given data:

Person's weight = 625 N

Bike's weight = 98 N

Pressure per tire = 7.60 x 10⁵ Pa

Find: Contact area per tire

Total system weight = 625 + 98 = 723 N

Let F represent the force supported by each tire

2F = 723 N

Therefore, F = 361.5 N

Using the formula F = P × A

A = \dfrac{F}{P}

A = \dfrac{361.5}{7.60 \times 10^5}

Contact area, A = 4.76 x 10⁻⁴ m²

The G string on a guitar is 69 cm long and has a fundamental frequency of 196 Hz. A guitarist can play different notes by pushin
Keith_Richards [3271]
Δd = 23 cm. When the eta string of the guitar has nodes at both ends, the resulting waves create a standing wave, which can be expressed with the following formulas: Fundamental: L = ½ λ, 1st harmonic: L = 2 ( λ / 2), 2nd harmonic: L = 3 ( λ / 2), Harmonic n: L = n λ / 2, where n is an integer. The rope's speed can be calculated using the formula v = λ f. This speed remains constant based on the tension and linear density of the rope. Now, let's determine the speed with the provided data: v = 0.69 × 196, yielding v = 135.24 m/s. Next, we will find the wavelengths for the two frequencies: λ₁ = v / f₁, which gives λ₁ = 135.24 / 233.08, equaling λ₁ = 0.58022 m; λ₂ = v / f₂ results in λ₂ = 135.24 / 246.94, consequently λ₂ = 0.54766 m. We'll substitute into the resonance equation Lₙ = n λ/2. At the third fret, m = 3, therefore L₃ = 3 × 0.58022 / 2, resulting in L₃ = 0.87033 m. For the fourth fret, m = 4, which gives L₄ = 4 × 0.54766 / 2, equating to L₄ = 1.09532 m. The distance between the two frets is Δd = L₄ – L₃, so Δd = 1.09532 - 0.87033, leading to Δd = 0.22499 m or 22.5 cm, rounded to 23 cm.

A large box of mass m sits on a horizontal floor. You attach a lightweight rope to this box, hold the rope at an angle θ above t
inna [3103]

Answer:

The answer to the specified question will be "\mu_{s}=\frac{T_{m}Cos\theta}{M_{g}-T_{m}Sin\theta}".

Explanation:

Referring to the question,

\sum F_{x}

⇒  TCos \theta-F_{s}=0

⇒  T_{m}Cos \theta =F_{s}...(equation 1)

\sum F_{y}

⇒  TSin \theta+F_{N}=m_{g}

⇒  M_{g}-TSin \theta=F_{N}...(equation 2)

Now,

From equation 1 and equation 2, we conclude

⇒  T_{m} Cos \theta = \mu_{s}F_{N}

By substituting the value of F_{N}, we derive

⇒  T_{m} Cos\theta = \mu_{s}(M_{g}-T_{m}Sin \theta)

⇒  \mu_{s}=\frac{T_{m}Cos\theta}{M_{g}-T_{m}Sin\theta}

Alicia intends to swim to a point straight across a 100 m wide river with a current that flows at 1.2 m/s. She can swim 2.5 m/s
Sav [3153]

Answer:

θ = 61.3°

Alicia must swim at an angle of 61.3°

Explanation:

Parameters given include:

Width of the river = 100 m

Alicia's speed in still water = 2.5 m/s

Speed of river's current = 1.2 m/s

The angle she needs to swim can be determined by combining the velocities, taking into account the current's influence.

Her swimming speed aimed against the current must offset the current's velocity;

2.5cosθ - 1.2 = 0

2.5cosθ = 1.2

cosθ = 1.2/2.5

θ = cosinverse(1.2/2.5)

θ = 61.3°

THE RELATIVE ANGLE AT THE KNEE CHANGES FROM 0O TO 85O DURING THE KNEE FLEXION PHASE OF A SQUAT EXERCISE. IF 10 COMPLETE SQUATS A
ValentinkaMS [3465]

Answer: total angular distance = 1700° and 29.7 rad

   the total angular displacement = 0

Explanation:

This is a breakdown of the calculations needed.

The task is to determine both the total angular distance and displacement experienced by the knee.

To calculate the distance traveled by the knee, consider that when squatting, the knee bends 85° to lower, and then another 85° to return to standing (upright). Thus, the cumulative angular movement during the squat totals 170°.

For 10 squats, the knee must undergo 170° motion multiplied by 10, resulting in:

10 * 170° = 1700°

As such, the total angular distance reached is 1700°.

Now converting this to radians since both degree and radian outputs are required:

Since 2π equals 360°, it follows that one degree equates to about 57.3°;

∅ (rad) = ∅ (deg) * 2π/360°

∅ (rad) = 1700° * 2π/360° = 29.7 rad

∅ (rad) = 29.7 rad

For the second part, remember that angular displacement is determined by the angular distance divided by time, leading to a displacement of zero because the knee's ending position is the same as its starting position.

I hope this is helpful!!!!
