The solution for this is:

 

Power = Energy transferred / Time taken 

Energy Transferred in one second ( Power) = mgh/s 

= (1.2x10^6)(9.8)(50) = 588000000 J/s 

Power = 588000000 W

 

Or

 

Power is work done / time 


Work done in one second = [ rate of fall of mass]

gh = 1.2* *9.81*50 x 10^6 J/s

= 5.886e+8 W

The foot pedal on hydraulic brake system exerts a force of 45 lb on a piston with a diameter of 1.00 cm. The brake fluid in the
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

the correct answer is C,   281 lb

Explanation:

This is an exercise in fluid mechanics specifically on Pascal's principle, which states that the pressure in a fluid is equal to all points that are at the same depth

             P = \frac{F_{1} }{A_{1} } = \frac{F_{2} }{A_{2} }

If we use the subscript 1 for the piston diameter mentor (d = 1.00vm) which is r = 0.05 cm, the force is F1 = 45 lb

          F₂ = \frac{F_{1} }{A_{1} }  F₁

in area of ​​a circules

         A = π r²

we substitute

          F₂ = \frac{r_{2}^2 }{r_{1}^2}  F_{1}

let's calculate

           F2 = 2.50² / 1.00²  45

           F2 =281  lb

therefore the correct answer is C

When you take pictures with a camera, the distance between the lens and the film or chip has to be adjusted, depending on the di
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

Explanation:

When a camera shifts focus from a faraway object to a nearby object, the lens-to-film distance must increase. Likewise, when it shifts focus from a nearby object to a distant object, there must be an increase in the lens to film distance (that is, the image distance).

Therefore, if the picture of an object that is far away, the lens must move towards the film.

The focal length cannot be changed because it is fixed for a lens. Nevertheless, in order to focus on an object, the image distance can be changed.

The pulley has an efficiency of 78%. How much useful work does the pulley do if you perform 775 J of work on the pulley
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

605 J

Explanation:

Efficiency = work out / work in

0.78 = W / 775 J

W = 605 J
