The brake in most cars makes use of a hydraulic system. This system consists of a fluid filled tube connected at each end to a p

iston. Assume that the piston attached to the brake pedal has a cross sectional area of 3 cm2 and the piston attached to the brake pad has a 2 cross section area of 15 cm . When you apply a force of 50 Newton to the piston attached to the brake pedal, how much will be the force at the brake pad

Answer:

The force at the brake pad = 250 N

Explanation:

The hydraulic brake system works on the Pascal's Principle for pressure transmission in fluids; the pressure applied to a fluid is transmitted undiminished in all directions.

For hydraulic systems, the pressure applied to the brake pedal is transmitted undiminished through the fluid filled tube, connected at each end to a piston, to the brake pad.

Hence, mathematically,

P(brake pedal) = P(break pad)

Pressure is given as the force applied divided by the cross sectional Area perpendicular to the direction of applied force.

P(brake pedal) = (Force applied on the brake pedal) ÷ (Cross Sectional Area of the brake pedal)

Force applied on the brake pedal = 50 N

Cross Sectional Area of the brake pedal = 3 cm²

P(brake pedal) = (50/3) = 16.67 N/cm²

P(brake pad) = P(brake pedal) = 16.67 N/cm²

P(brake pad) = (Force applied on the brake pad) ÷ (Cross Sectional Area of the brake pad)

Force applied on the brake pad = F = ?

Cross Sectional Area of the brake pad = 15 cm²

16.67 = (F/15)

F = 16.67 × 15 = 250 N

Hence, the force at the brake pad = 250 N

Hope this Helps!!!

Sedaia [141]

Answer:

The first answer is 7,24g Mg

The second answer is 3,36L O2

Explanation:

Atomic masses: Mg= 24,3 ; O=16

Solution: MMgO = 40,3 g/mol

2 Mg + O2 => 2 MgO

1) 12 g MgO x (2x24,3 g Mg / 2x 40,3 MgO) = 7,24 g Mg

2)

At  first calculate moles from Oxygen:

12 g MgO x ( 1 mol from Oxygen/ 2 x 40,3 g MgO ) = 0,15 moles from Oxygen

then ....

0,15 moles from Oxygen x (22,4 lts / 1 mol from Oxygen ) = 3,36 lts

22.4 liters is the constant that we use in this equation, it is a value that is repeated since we are in the presence of a gas with ideal behavior, so it is considered that the normal molar volume of ideal gaseous substances is always 22.4 liters, estimated with a temperature of 0º C and a pressure of 1 atmosphere. (constant temperature and pressure)

How much heat is required to convert 0.3 kilogram of ice at 0°C to water at the same temperature
Grace [21]

Answer:

100,200J of heat is required to convert 0.3kg of ice of 0°C to water at same temperature.

Explanation:

Heat = mass * lf

Latent heat of fusion (lf) of water is 334J/g

Heat = 300g * 334 J/g

Heat = 100,200J of heat

Aunt Matilda goes to a well and throws a penny straight down the well at 3.0 m/s. She hears a splash after 0.5 seconds. How deep
nevsk [136]

Answer : The correct option is (d) 2.73 m

Explanation :

By the 2nd equation of motion,

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where,

s = distance or height = ?

u = initial velocity  = 3.0 m/s

t = time = 0.5 s

a = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s^2

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

s=(3.0m/s)\times (0.5s)+\frac{1}{2}\times (9.8m/s^2)\times (0.5s)^2

s=2.73m

Therefore, the correct option is (d) 2.73 m

A train accelerates at -1.5 m/s2 for 10 seconds. If the train had an initial
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

17 m/s

Explanation:

Using formula a = (v-u) /t

acceleration a =  -1.5 m/s2

final velocity v = unknown

initial velocity u = 32 m/s

time t = 10s

-1.5 = (v-32)/10

-15 = v - 32

-15 + 32 = v

v = 17 m/s
