Answer:

Like any moving object, the motion of an object in free fall can be described by four kinematic equations. The kinematic equations that describe any object's motion are:

D = vit + 1/2 at2

(vi +vf)/2 = D/t

a = (vf - vi)/t

vf2 = vi2 + 2aD

D = displacement

a = acceleration

t = time

vf = final velocity

vi = initial velocity

Explanation:

Free fall means that an object is falling freely with no forces acting upon it except gravity, a defined constant, g = -9.8 m/s2. The distance the object falls, or height, h, is 1/2 gravity x the square of the time falling. Velocity is defined as gravity x time.

The kinetic equation is the evolution equation of the distribution function. It is to the distribution function what Newton's second law is to an individual particle. It is deduced from this fundamental law. It has the following general form: ∂ t f + v .

A simple hydraulic lift is made by fitting a piston attached to a handle into a 3.0-cm diameter cylinder. The cylinder is connec

stiv31 [10]

Answer:

Approximately $3.1 \times 10^4 \; \rm N$ (assuming that the acceleration due to gravity is $g = 9.81\; \rm kg \cdot N^{-1}$ .)

Explanation:

Let $A_1$ denote the first piston's contact area with the fluid. Let $A_2$ denote the second piston's contact area with the fluid.

Similarly, let $F_1$ and $F_2$ denote the size of the force on the two pistons. Since the person is placing all her weight on the first piston:

$F_1 = W = m \cdot g = 50\; \rm kg \times 9.81 \; \rm kg \cdot N^{-1} =495\; \rm N$ .

Since both pistons fit into cylinders, the two contact surfaces must be circles. Keep in mind that the area of a square is equal to $\pi$ times its radius, squared:

$\displaystyle A_1 = \pi \times \left(\frac{1}{2} \times 3.0\right)^2 = 2.25\, \pi\;\rm cm^{2}$ .
$\displaystyle A_2 = \pi \times \left(\frac{1}{2} \times 24\right)^2 = 144\, \pi\;\rm cm^{2}$ .

By Pascal's Law, the pressure on the two pistons should be the same. Pressure is the size of normal force per unit area:

$\displaystyle P = \frac{F}{A}$ .

For the pressures on the two pistons to match:

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

$F_1$ , $A_1$ , and $A_2$ have all been found. The question is asking for $F_2$ . Rearrange this equation to obtain:

$\displaystyle F_2 = \frac{F_1}{A_1} \cdot A_2 = F_1 \cdot \frac{A_2}{A_1}$ .

Evaluate this expression to obtain the value of $F_2$ , which represents the force on the piston with the larger diameter:

$\begin{aligned}F_2 &= F_1 \cdot \frac{A_2}{A_1} \\ &= 495\; \rm N \times \frac{2.25\, \pi\; \rm cm^2}{144\, \pi \; \rm cm^2} \approx 3.1 \times 10^4\; \rm N\end{aligned}$ .

An inclined plane has a ramp length of 4.0 meters and a height of 2.0 meters. What is the IMA of the inclined plane? 0.5 2.0 6.0

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Length of the ramp (L) = 4.0 m = Distance traveled by the effort

Height of the inclined plane (h) = 2.0 m = Distance traveled by the resistance

IMA = Ideal mechanical advantage

$IMA = \frac{L}{h}$

$IMA = \frac{4.0}{2.0}$

IMA = 2.0

Hence, the IMA of the inclined plane is 2.0

The train would need the greatest amount of force due to weight! If you think of it, a baseball won't need much force to stop it, but if you have a heavy train, it will need excessive force to stop the train. The answer would be #3

I hope this answer helps!

Sorry if it doesn't make sense, as I don't know that much about physics! I am just thinking of what makes sense.
