how much does a car weighr if each tyre cover of 4cm^2 and exert a pressure of 100000Nm^-2 on the ground it is physics questions ​

Sagot :

Answer:

Weight = 160 N

Explanation:

The weight of an object is a measure of the gravitational force on the object. So that weight is synonymous to the force applied by the object.

i.e Weight = mass x gravitational force

Also, the pressure of an object is the ratio of its force to area covered by the object. So that;

P = [tex]\frac{F}{A}[/tex]

Given that: area = 4 [tex]cm^{2}[/tex] (0.0004 [tex]m^{2}[/tex]), and pressure = 100 000 N[tex]m^{-2}[/tex].

Then;

F = PA

  = 100 000 N[tex]m^{-2}[/tex] x 0.0004 [tex]m^{2}[/tex]

F = 40 N

The force applied on the ground by each of the four tyres of the car is 40 N.

Thus, the weight of the car = 4 x 40 N

                                     = 160 N
