Why does something rolling down a ramp have greater distance when it the ramp keeps getting higher?

Well the most basic reason why is because of gravity. it would slow down the object going higher since their is gravity pushing on that object. going down, the object would get pushed faster since gravity is making it go down. hope this helps

In a car lift used in a service station, compressed air exerts a force on a small piston of circular cross section having a radi
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

(a) 1,569.63 N

(b)  195,933.99 Pa

(c) As pressure and volume are equal for each piston, workdone must also be equal

(d) 1,647.47 kg

Explanation:

Let the cross-sectional  area (CSA) of small piston = A₁

Let the  cross-sectional  area (CSA) of the bigger piston  = A₂

Let the Force applied at the smaller piston  = F₁

Let the Force applied at the bigger piston  = F₂

The principle of hydraulic lift  assumes the that the fluid is in-compressible, resulting to a constant pressure system.

F₁/A₁ =F₂/A₂----------------------------------------------------------- (1)

(a)  F₁=  F₂ xA₁ /A₂

F₂  = 13,300 N

A₁ = π r₁²

    =π x (0.0505)²

   =  0.008011 m²

A₂= π r₂²

    =π x (0.147)²

   =  0.06788 m²

Substituting into (1)

F₁ = 13,300 x  0.008011/0.06788

   = 1,569.6272

   ≈ 1,569.63 N

(b)   Air pressure = Force/Area

                            =  F₁/A₁

                            = 1,569.6272/ 0.008011

                            =   195,933.99 Pa

(c) The pressure is constant for both pistons according to Pascal Law.

Workdone = force x distance----------------------------------------- (2)

force = pressure × area

distance = volume/area from

Substituting into (2)

Workdone = pressure × volume.

As pressure and volume are equal for each piston, work must also be equal

(d)  F₂  =  F₁ x  A₂/ A₁---------------------------------------------------- (3)

A₁ = π r₁²

    =π x (0.079)²

   =  0.01960 m²

A₂= π r₂²

    =π x (0.353)²

   =  0.3914 m²

Substituting into (2)

F₂= 825 x  0.3914/ 0.01960

   = 16,474.7448

   ≈ 16,474.74 N

  = 1,647.47 kg

Two friends, Al and Jo, have a combined mass of 195 kg. At the ice skating rink, they stand close together on skates, at rest an
ddd [48]

Answer:

Al's mass is 102.92  kg  

Explanation:

As there are no external forces in the horizontal direction, the horizontal net force must be zero:

F_{net} = 0

As the force is the derivative in time of the momentum, this means that the horizontal momentum is constant:

F_{net} = \frac{dp_{horizontal}}{dt} = 0

p_{horizontal_i }= p_{horizontal_f}

where the suffix i and f means initial and final respectively.

The initial momentum will be:

p_{horizontal_}i = m_{Al} \ v_{Al_i} + m_{Jo} \ v_{Jo_i}

But, as they are at rest, initially

p_{horizontal_i} = m_{Al} * 0 + m_{Jo} * 0

p_{horizontal_i} = 0

So, this means:

p_{horizontal_f} = m_{Al} \ v_{Al_f} + m_{Jo} \ v_{Jo_f} = 0

We know that the have an combined mass of 195 kg:

m_{total} = m_{Al} + m_{Jo} = 195 \ kg.

so:

m_{Jo} = 195 \ kg - m_{Al}.

m_{Al} \ v_{Al_f} + (195 \ kg - m_{Al}) \ v_{Jo_f} = 0

m_{Al} \  v_{Al_f} - m_{Al} \  v_{Jo_f}= - 195 \ kg \  v_{Jo_f}

m_{Al} \ (v_{Al_f} - v_{Jo_f})= - 195 \ kg \ v_{Jo_f}

m_{Al} = \frac{ - 195 \ kg \ v_{Jo_f} } {  v_{Al_f} - v_{Jo_f} }

m_{Al} = \frac{195 \ kg  \ v_{Jo_f} } {    v_{Jo_f} - v_{Al_f} }

Now, we can use the values:

v_{Al_f}= 10.2 \frac{m}{s}

v_{Jo_f}= - 11.4 \frac{m}{s}

where the minus sign appears as they are moving at opposite directions

m_{Al} = \frac{195 \ kg  ( - 11.4 \frac{m}{s} ) } {   (- 11.4 \frac{m}{s}) - 10.2 \frac{m}{s} }

m_{Al} = 102.92 \ kg

and this is the Al's mass.

After a light turns green , Lesly accelerates to 120 km/hr over 100 meters . What is her acceleration in m/s^2
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

5.55 m/s²

Explanation:

  • Initial velocity = 0
  • Final velocity = 120 km/hr = 33.3 m/s
  • Displacement = 100 m

<u>Using</u><u> </u><u>Third</u><u> </u><u>l</u><u>a</u><u>w </u><u>of </u><u>Motion</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u><u> </u>

\longrightarrow 2as = v² - u²

\longrightarrow 2*a* 100 = (33.33 m/s)²-0²

\longrightarrow a = 200a = 1110.89

\longrightarrow a = 1110.89/200

\longrightarrow a = 5.55 m/s²
