A force of 300 Newtons is exerted on a surface, creating 150 Pascals of pressure. What is the area of the surface?
What is 2 m2
Pressure = Force/Area
Area = Force/Pressure
Area = 300 Newtons/150 Pascals
Area = 2 m2

Calculate the initial temperature of a hot air balloon filled with 25g of Gas X that absorbs 1000 calories to reach a final temperature of 35 °C. Gas X has a specific heat capacity of 2 cal/g°C.
ΔT = 20 °C, initial temp = 15 °C
ΔT = Q/(m times S)
ΔT = 1000/(25 times 2)
ΔT = 20

A flat car tire exerts a pressure of 10 PSI. It makes contact with an area of .5 ft2. What is the total force applied by the tire to the ground?
What is 720 pounds
First, convert ft2 to in2
.5 ft2 x (144 in2 / 1 ft2) = 72 in2
Force = Pressure x Area
Force = 10 PSI x 72 in2
