What is the final speed if the displacement is increased by a factor of 4?

Physics

From the laws of motions:
x = 0.5 at^2 where
x is the displacement
a is the force of gravity (constant = 9.8 m/sec^2)
t is the time taken

Since "a" is constant, therefore:
the displacement is directly proportional to the square of the time.
This means that, increasing the displacement by a factor of 4 would increase the time by a factor of (4)^2 = 16.

If the kinetic and potential energy in a system are equal, then the potential energy increases. What happens as a resul
Kobotan [32]

-- If the system is 'closed', then nothing ... including energy ... can get in or out, and the total energy inside has to be constant.

If half of the energy in the system starts out as potential energy and the rest starts out as kinetic, and then the potential energy increases, there's only one place the increase could have come from ... it could only have been converted from kinetic energy.  So the <em>kinetic energy</em> in the system <em>must</em> <em>decrease</em>.

In fact, this isn't even a "result".  The kinetic energy has to decrease <em><u>before</u></em> the potential energy can increase, because that's where the increase has to come from.

If the system is 'open', then energy can come in and go out.  If the potential energy inside suddenly increases, we don't know where it came from, so we can't say anything about what happens to the system.

A hydraulic system for a dentist's chair is designed to be able to lift 3,112 newtons. The surface area over which this force is
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

13.8 N

Explanation:

Pressure on the one end of the hydraulic system = Pressure on the other end

Pressure = Force / Area where Force is in Newton, area is in m²

so Force of one end (F1) / area of that end = force of the other end (F2) / area of that end

3112 / ( 707 /10000) in m² = F2 / ( 3.14 / 10000) in m²

cross multiply

44016.97 × 0.000314 = 13.82 N

Explain about kinetic theory​
Luden [163]

Answer:

The model, called the kinetic theory of gases, assumes that the molecules are very small relative to the distance between molecules. ... The molecules are in constant random motion, and there is an energy (mass x square of the velocity) associated with that motion. The higher the temperature, the greater the motion.
