Suppose that when you ride on your 7.50 kg bike the weight of you and the bike is supported equally by the two tires. if the gauge pressure in the tires is 65.5 lb/in^2 and the area of contact between each tire and the road is 7.03 cm^2. what is your weight? w= n

567 N

Explanation:

If the weight of the person and the bike are supported equally by the two tires, this means that the force acting on each tire, is half of the total weight.

We know that the gauge pressure in one tire, by definition, is equal to the force on the tire, over the contact surface between each tire and the road, so we can write:

P= F/A = (mrider g + mbike g) / A = (Fgrider + 7.5 kg. 9.8 m/s2) / 703 mm2 (1)

As the pressure data is given in lb/in2, it is needed to convert to N/mm2, as follows:

65.5 lb/in2 = 0.455 N/mm2.

Replacing in (1), and solving for  Fgrider, we have:

Fgrider = 567 N

note: the given question is incomplete.

complete question is given below.

which is an example of kinetic energy?

a. the energy stored in ethanol  

b. a hockey puck sliding across the ice  

c. a compressed spring  

d. a ball sitting at the top of a ramp

solution: the kinetic energy is the energy posses by the virtue of the motion of the object.

in the given options, a, c and d are the example of potential energy because it is the energy posses by the virtue of the rest of the object. but option b has the kinetic energy as the object is in motion.

hence, a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the apex example of kinetic energy.

so, the option (b) a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the correct option.
