A hydraulic lift raises a 4000 kg automobile when a 500N force is applied to the smaller piston. If the smaller piston has an ar

MariettaO [177]

Answer:

The cross-sectional area of the larger piston is 800 cm².

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the automobile, m = 4000 kg

force applied on the small piston, F₁ = 500 N

area of the smaller piston, A₁ = 10 cm²

load lifted by the larger piston, F₂ = 4000 x 10 = 40,000 N

Pressure experienced by each piston is given as;

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

Where;

A₂ is the cross-sectional area of the larger piston

$\frac{F_1}{A_1} = \frac{F_2}{A_2} \\\\A_2 = \frac{F_2A_1}{F_1} \\\\A_2 = \frac{40,000 \ \times\ 10}{500} \\\\A_2=800 \ cm^2$

Therefore, the cross-sectional area of the larger piston is 800 cm².

Which of the following best describes a plane?

ASHA 777 [7]

From that list of choices, choice 'B' is the only example of a plane,
but it doesn't 'describe' it at all.

A current I flows down a wire of radius a.

Helga [31]

Answer:

(a) $K = \frac{I}{2\pi a}$

(b) $J = \frac{I}{2\pi as}$

Explanation:

(a) The surface current density of a conductor is the current flowing per unit length of the conductor.

$K = \frac{dI}{dL}$

Considering a wire, the current is uniformly distributed over the circumferenece of the wire.

$dL = 2\pi r$

The radius of the wire = a

$dL = 2\pi a$

The surface current density $K = \frac{I}{2\pi a}$

(b) The current density is inversely proportional

$J \alpha s^{-1}$

$J = \frac{k}{s}$ ......(1)

k is the constant of proportionality

$I = \int\limits {J} \, dS$

$I = J \int\limits \, dS$ ........(2)

substituting (1) into (2)

$I = \frac{k}{s} \int\limits\, dS$

$I = k \int\limits^a_0 \frac{1}{s} {s} \, dS$

$I = 2\pi k\int\limits\, dS$

$I = 2\pi ka$

$k = \frac{I}{2\pi a}$

substitute $J = \frac{k}{s}$

$J = \frac{I}{2\pi as}$

Answer:

Precisely, water has to absorb 4,184 Joules of heat (1 calorie) for the temperature of one kilogram of water to increase 1°C. For comparison sake, it only takes 385 Joules of heat to raise 1 kilogram of copper 1°C.

In one experiment, the students allow the block to oscillate after stretching the spring a distance A. If the potential energy s

atroni [7]

Answer:

K = m g (A - A2)

Explanation:

In a block spring system the total energy is the sum of the potential energy plus the kinetic energy, for maximum elongation all the energy is potential

Em = U₀ = m g A

For when the system is at an ele

Elongation A2 less than A, energy has two parts

Em = K + U₂

K = Em –U₂

We substitute

K = m g A - m gA2

K = m g (A - A2)
