Answer:
Machine Efficiency
Explanation:
Efficiency is the percent of work put into a machine by the user (input work) that becomes work done by the machine (output work). The output work is always less than the input work because some of the input work is used to overcome friction. Therefore, efficiency is always less than 100 percent
Answer:
Hydraulic press is called an instrument for multiplication of force. Why? Because it uses Pascal's idea and principle: F=p*S. If we apply small force to small piston you will generate a pressure. According to Pascal's law pressure is the same everywhere in closed system so the same pressure will act on large piston on the other side too.

Answer:
The electric potential at the midpoint between the two particles is 3.349 X 10⁻³ Volts
Explanation:
Electric potential is given as;
V = E*r
where;
E is the electric field strength, = kq/r²
V = ( kq/r²)*r
V = kq/r
k is coulomb's constant = 8.99 X 10⁹ Nm²/C²
q is the charge of the particles = 1.6 X 10⁻¹⁹ C
r is the distance between the particles = 859 nm
At midpoint, the distance = r/2 = 859nm/2 = 429.5 nm
V = (8.99 X 10⁹ * 1.6 X 10⁻¹⁹)/ (429.5 X 10⁻⁹)
V = 3.349 X 10⁻³ Volts
Therefore, the electric potential at the midpoint between the two particles is 3.349 X 10⁻³ Volts
Question:
What two forces are balanced in what we call gravitational equilibrium?
A) the electromagnetic force and gravity
B) outward pressure and the strong force
C) outward pressure and inward gravity
D) the strong force and gravity
E) the strong force and kinetic energy
Answer:
The correct answer is C) Outward Pressure and Inward gravity
Explanation:
Gravitational equilibrium is a balance between the inward pull of gravity and the outward push of internal gas pressure. It also refers to the condition of a star in which the weight of overlying layers at each point is balanced by the total pressure at that point.
As the weight increases in the lower layers of the sun, the pressure also increases to maintain this balance. So you find that the outward push of pressure balances the inward pull of gravity thus creating an equilibrium.
Why is gravitational equilibrium important?
The simple answer is <u>balance. </u> If for instance the sun as a stable star (which has gravitational equilibrium) loses it's balance, it becomes highly unstable and prone to violent outbursts. These outbursts are caused by the very high radiation pressure at the star's upper layers, which blows significant portions of the matter at the "surface" into space during eruptions that may rage for several years. Of course such a condition is adverse to the existence and support of life.
Cheers!
