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?

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.

answer: d. a cme increases the amount of energy in the solar wind

explanation:

coronal mass ejections, also called cmes, are large clouds of plasma and magnetic field that erupt from the sun. only when the cloud is aimed at earth will the cme hit earth and therefore cause impacts. high-speed solar wind streams come from areas on the sun known as coronal holes.

molecules are free to separate from each other and will take on the shape of the container. molecules move completely at random and high speeds. they vibrate in a fixed position and do not move around much. molecules expand to the edge of their container.
