A pneumatic system consists of several identical 1.5 inch diameter cylinders to lift 450-pound pallets in a warehouse. the gauge

pressure in the system reservoir remains at 75 psi, and the atmospheric pressure is 14.7 psi. assuming that the weight of the pistons is negligible, determine the total number of 1.5-inch cylinders needed in the pneumatic system to lift the 450-pound load.

The applicable equation:

P = F/A

P = pressure
F = Force or weight
A = surface area

Pressure on each cylinder = (W/n)/A
Where n = number of cylinders. Additionally, pressure in the reservoir is equivalent to the pressure in each cylinder.
Net pressure =  75 - 14.7 = 60.3 psi

Therefore,
60.3 = (W/n)/A = (450/n)/(πD^2/4) = (450/n)/(π*1.5^2/4) = (450/n)/(1.7671)
60.3*1.7671 = 450/n
106.03 = 450/n
n = 450/106.3 = 4.244 ≈ 5

The number of cylinders is 5.

How far apart must two protons be if the electrical force acting on either one is equal to its weight on the earth's surface whe
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

G M m / R^2 = F   force of attraction for proton

K e^2 / r^2 = F     force of attraction between 2 protons

G M m / R^2 = K e^2 / r^2

r^2 = K e^2 R^2 / (G M m)

r^2 = 9E9 * (1.6E-19)^2 * (6.37E6)^2 / (6.67E-11 * 5.98E24 * 1.7E-27)

r^2 = 9 * 2.56 * 40.6 / (6.67 * 5.98 * 1.7) * 10^-19

r^2 = 1.38 * 10^-30

r = 1.17E-15 m

A satellite orbiting the earth is directly over a point on the equator at 12:00 midnight every four days. It is not over that po
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

106417026.88435 m

Explanation:

T = Time period of the satellite = 4 days

m = Mass of the Earth =  5.972 × 10²⁴ kg

G = Gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

Time period is given by

T=2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{r^3}{GM}}\\\Rightarrow r=\left(\dfrac{T^2GM}{4\pi ^2}\right)^{\dfrac{1}{3}}\\\Rightarrow r=\left(\dfrac{(4\times 24\times 60\times 60)^2\times 6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 5.972\times 10^{24}}{4\pi ^2}\right)^{\dfrac{1}{3}}\\\Rightarrow r=106417026.88435\ m

The radius of the satellite's orbit is 106417026.88435 m

A 1kg cart slams into a stationary 1kg cart at 2 m/s. The carts stick together and move forward at a speed of 1 m/sl. Determine
finlep [7]

Answer:

No, it is not conserved

Explanation:

Let's calculate the total kinetic energy before the collision and compare it with the total kinetic energy after the collision.

The total kinetic energy before the collision is:

K_i = K_1 + K_2 = \frac{1}{2}mv_1^2 + \frac{1}{2}mv_2^2=\frac{1}{2}(1 kg)(2 m/s)^2+\frac{1}{2}(1 kg)(0)^2=2 J

where m1 = m2 = 1 kg are the masses of the two carts, v1=2 m/s is the speed of the first cart, and where v2=0 is the speed of the second cart, which is zero because it is stationary.

After the collision, the two carts stick together with same speed v=1 m/s; their total kinetic energy is

K_f = \frac{1}{2}(m_1+m_2)v^2=\frac{1}{2}(1 kg+1kg)(1 m/s)^2=1 J

So, we see that the kinetic energy was not conserved, because the initial kinetic energy was 2 J while the final kinetic energy is 1 J. This means that this is an inelastic collision, in which only the total momentum is conserved. This loss of kinetic energy does not violate the law of conservation of energy: in fact, the energy lost has simply been converted into another form of energy, such as heat, during the collision.
