What part causes the disc brake caliper piston to retract when the brakes are released?

Physics
1 answer:
Orlov [11]2 years ago

The part that causes the disc caliper piston to retract when the brakes are released is the square-cut O-ring.
The square cut seal is the most important part of a disc brake caliper, for keeping the brake behind the piston so that when you step on the brake pedal, it releases a pressure that applied to the piston which in return applies the pad to the rotor.

Riding in a car, you suddenly put on the brakes. As you experience it inside the car, do Newton's law apply? Do they apply as se
alisha [4.7K]

Answer with Explanation:

Newton's laws are applicable for inertial frames of reference which is a frame which is not accelerating when seen from the observer standing on earth.

For the person as he presses the brakes his frame is a decelerating frame of reference hence he cannot apply the newtons laws of motion as they are in their original form but if he analyses the motion he has to apply a correction known as  pseudo-force on the object he is analyzing. Pseudo Force has no basis in newton's laws but are a correction that needs to be applied if he wishes to analyse the motion from non inertial frame of reference

While as a person standing on earth outside the car since his frame is an inertial frame of reference he can apply newton's laws of motion without any correction.

What is the weight of a 48 kg girl on Earth? Rounded to the nearest whole number
Levart [38]

Answer:

471 N

Explanation:

Weight is just another word for the force of gravity.

​Weight is a force that acts at all times on all objects near Earth. The Earth pulls on all objects with a force of gravity downward toward the center of the Earth (g-9.81 m/s2)

so we can simply say

weight =mass * gravitaitonal acceleraition

           = 48 * 9.81

            =470.88 N

            = 471 N

What is efficiency of a machine?
Flura [38]
Mechanical efficiency is a measure of how well the machine converts the input work or energy into some useful output. It is calculated by dividing the output work by the input work. The ideal machine has mechanical efficiency equal to unity, while the real machine has mechanical efficiency less than unity

At what speed does a typical electron pass by any given point in the wire?
attashe74 [19]
A 5.00 A current runs through a 12 gauge copper wire (diameter 2.05 mm) and through a light bulb. Copper has 8.5*10^28 free electrons per cubic metre.

a) How many electrons pass through the light bulb each second?

b) What is the current density in the wire? (answer in A/m^2)

<span>c) At what speed does a typical electron pass by any given point in the wire? (answer in m/s)

</span>a) 5.0 A = 5.0 C/s 
. Number of electrons in 5.0C = 5.0 / 1.60^-19 = 3.125^19
. 5.0 A ►= 3.125^19 electrons/s

b) A/m² = 5.0 / π(1.025^-3 m)² .. .. ►= 1.52^6 A/m²

c) Charge density (q/m³) = 8.50^28 e/m³ x 1.60^-19 = 1.36^10 C/m³

(q/m³)(m²)(m/s) = q/s (current i in C/s [A])
(m²) = Area
(m/s) = mean drift speed

(q/m³)(A)(v) = i

v = i.[(q/m³)A]ˉ¹

<span>v = 5.0 [1.36^10 * π(1.025^-3 m)²]ˉ¹.. .. ►v = 1.10^-4 m/s</span>
