Given data:

The area of the hydraulic press is,

A_1=3.2in^2

The applied force is,

F_1=2\text{ lb}

The pressing force on the large piston is

F_2=795\text{ lb}

Given hydraulic press works on Pascal's law principle.

From the Pascal's law, the equation can be given as,

\frac{F_1}{A_1}=\frac{F_2}{A_2}

Here,

A_2

is the area of the larger piston.

Substituting the values in the above equation, we get:

\begin{gathered} \frac{2\text{ lb}}{3.2in^2}=\frac{795\text{ lb}}{A_2} \\ A_2=1272in^2 \end{gathered}

Thus, the area of the large piston is

1272in^2

Problem 9: Suppose you wanted to charge an initially uncharged 85 pF capacitor through a 75 MΩ resistor to 90.0% of its final vo
Bingel [31]

Answer:

t=14.678\times 10^{-3}s

Explanation:

Given:

Capacitance, C = 85 pF = 85 × 10⁻¹² F

Resistance, R = 75 MΩ = 75×10⁶Ω

Charge in capacitor at any time 't' is given as:

Q=Q_o(1-e^{-\frac{t}{RC}})

where,

Q₀ = Maximum charge = CE

E = Initial voltage

t = time

also, Q = CV

V= Final voltage = 90% of E = 0.9E

thus, we have

C\times 0.9E=CE(1-e^{-\frac{t}{75\times 10^6\ \times\ 85\times 10^{-12}}})

or

0.9=1-e^{-\frac{t}{75\times 10^6\ \times\ 85\times 10^{-12}}}

or

e^{-\frac{t}{75\times 10^6\ \times\ 85\times 10^{-12}}}=1-0.9=0.1

taking log both sides, we get

ln(e^{-\frac{t}{75\times 10^6\ \times\ 85\times 10^{-12}}})=ln(0.1)=ln(\frac{1}{10})

or

-\frac{t}{75\times 10^6\ \times\ 85\times 10^{-12}}=-ln(10)

or

t=75\times 10^6\ \times\ 85\times 10^{-12}\times ln{10}

or

t=14.678\times 10^{-3}s

How many seconds of space should you keep between you if you're driving a 100 foot truck 30 mph?
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

<em> The space in seconds that will be kept = 2.27 seconds</em>

Explanation:

S = d/t..................... Equation 1

making t the subject of formula in the equation above,

t = d/S.................... Equation 2

Where S = speed, d = distance, t = time.

<em>Conversion: (i)if 1 mph = 0.44704 m/s,</em>

<em>                 then, 30 mph = 30×0.44704    </em>

<em>                = 13.41 m/s</em>

<em>               (ii) If 1 foot = 0.3048 m</em>

<em>            then, 100 foot = 30.48 m.</em>

<em>Given: S = 30 mph = 13.41 m/s, d = 100 foot = 30.48 m</em>

<em>Substituting these values into equation 2</em>

<em>t = 30.48/13.41</em>

<em>t = 2.27 seconds.</em>

<em>Therefore the space in seconds that will be kept = 2.27 seconds</em>

a distant galaxy is studied with a radio telescope x ray telescope and optical light telescope. the images form which set of mus
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

The modern instruments or we can say the different levels of telescopes are used to explore and study the distant galaxies. i.e the Hubble telescope is out there providing the data regarding the different properties of the celestial entities which in other case is not visible to the human naked eye.

Explanation:

  • Scientists and research workers are in constant search for more answers as they explore the universe and implement the laws of physics on the celestial entities. But, most of the objects inside the universe are not visible to human naked eye, as they are far from sight and thus more advanced form of instruments like the x-ray, optical, and light telescopes are used to determine the different properties of the celestial entities inside the universe.
  • As, these telescopes includes the most recent "Hubble telescope", which is out there inside the space to explore the universe and more over the galaxies by subjecting them with x-rays and then provide us with a very rough but valid results to study the distant galaxies.

A student, who weighs 720N, is standing on a bathroom scale and riding an elevator that is moving downwards with a speed that is
jasenka [17]

Answer:

1) The mass of the student is approximately 73.39 kg

2) The net force on the student is approximately 947.523 N

3) The value the scale will read is approximately 96.59 kg

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The weight of the student = 720 N

The speed at which the elevator is decreasing = 3.1 m/s²

1) The weight of the student = The mass of the student × The acceleration due to gravity

The acceleration due to gravity is a constant = 9.81 m/s²

Substituting the known values gives;

720 N = The mass of the student × 9.81 m/s²

∴ The mass of the student = 720 N/(9.81 m/s²) ≈ 73.39 kg

2) The forces acting on the student are;

i) The force of gravity which is the weight of the student acting downwards

ii) The inertia force of the slowing elevator acting downwards in the same direction as the weight of the student

The net force, F_{net} = The weight of the student + The inertia force of the slowing elevator

∴ The net force, F_{net} = 720 N + 73.39 kg × 3.1 m/s² ≈ 947.523 N

3) The scale will read the mass of the student as follows;

Mass reading of student on the scale = Force on scale/9.81

∴ Mass reading of student on the scale = 947.523/9.81 ≈ 96.59 kg

The value the scale will read = 96.59 kg.
