a hydraulic machine can be used to lift extremely heavy objects. why is the fluid in the hydraulic machine a liquid rather than

a gas?

Because a liquid can take the wheight of the hydraulic press while a gas could combust under pressure.

A liquid can take weight of the hydraulic press while a gas could be under pressure.

I attached a Diagram for this problem.

We star considering the system is in equlibrium, so

Fm makes $90-(\theta+5)$ with vertical

Fm makes 70 with vertical

Applying summatory in X we have,

$\sum F_x = 0$

$W+1.4-Fm cos(70)$

We know that W is equal to

$W= 0.06*100N = 6N$

Substituting,

$Fm cos (70) = W+1.4N$

$Fm cos (70) = 6N + 1.4N$

$Fm = \frac{7.4}{cos(70)}$

$Fm = 21.636N$

Complete Question:

In the "before" part of Fig. 9-60, car A (mass 1100 kg) is stopped at a traffic light when it is rear-ended by car B (mass 1400 kg). Both cars then slide with locked wheels until the frictional force from the slick road (with a low ?k of 0.15) stops them, at distances dA = 6.1 m and dB = 4.4 m. What are the speeds of (a) car A and (b) car B at the start of the sliding, just after the collision? (c) Assuming that linear momentum is conserved during the collision, find the speed of car B just before the collision.

Answer:

a) Speed of car A at the start of sliding = 4.23 m/s

b) speed of car B at the start of sliding = 3.957 m/s

c) Speed of car B before the collision = 7.28 m/s

Explanation:

NB: The figure is not provided but all the parameters needed to solve the question have been given.

Let the frictional force acting on car A, $f_{ra} = \mu mg\\$ ............(1)

Since frictional force is a type of force, we are safe to say $f_{ra} = ma$ .......(2)

Equating (1) and (2)

$ma = \mu mg\\a = \mu g\\\mu = 0.15\\a = 0.15 * 9.8 = 1.47 m/s^{2}$

a) Speed of A at the start of the sliding

$d_{A} = 6.1 m\\Speed of A at the start of sliding, v_{A} = \sqrt{2ad_{A} }\\ v_{A} = \sqrt{2*1.47*6.1 } \\v_{A} = \sqrt{17.934 } \\v_{A} = 4.23 m/s$

b) Speed of B at the start of the sliding

$d_{A} = 4.4 m\\Speed of A at the start of sliding, v_{B} = \sqrt{2ad_{B} }\\ v_{B} = \sqrt{2*1.47*4.4 } \\v_{B} = \sqrt{12.936 } \\v_{B} = 3.957 m/s$

Let the speed of car B before collision = $v_{B1}$

Momentum of car B before collision = $m_{B} v_{B1}$

Momentum after collision = $m_{A} v_{A} + m_{B} v_{B2}$

Applying the law of conservation of momentum:

$m_{B} v_{B1} = m_{A} v_{A} +m_{B} v_{B2}$

$m_{A} = 1100 kg\\m_{B} = 1400 kg$

$(1400*v_{B1} ) = (1100 * 4.23) + ( 1400 * 3.957)\\(1400*v_{B1} ) = 10192.8\\v_{B1} = 10192.8/1400\\v_{B1 = 7.28 m/s$

The metal cases of electrical appliances are connected to an earth wire.Which statement is not correct?A The live wire may becom

labwork [276]

Given that metal cases of electrical appliances are connected to the wire, let's select the statement which is not correct from the list of statements.

The earth wire is used to protect you and help reduce the risk of receiving an electric shock. The earth wire reduces the risk of electric shock by creating a path for a fault or lose current to flow to the Earth.

The Live wire may become loose and touch the metal case. In this case, the earth wire will channel the fault current to the earth thereby reducing the risk of electric shock.

If the metal case becomes live, the earth wire conducts current to the ground. This helps prevent electric shock from the metal case.

The Earth wire has low or no resistance. It is always made of copper.

It provides a low resistance path to the ground.

Therefore, the statement ''the earth wire needs to have high resistance'' is NOT current.

ANSWER:

C. The earth wire needs to have a high reistance.
