Answer:

38.4 N.

Explanation:

From pascal's principle,

Pressure applied to the first piston = pressure applied to the second piston

F1/A1 = F2/A2 ....................... Equation 1

Where F1 = Force applied to the first piston, A1 = Area of the first piston, F2 = force applied to the second piston, A2 = Area of the second piston.

But,

A1 = πd₁²/4................... Equation 2

A2 = πd₂²/4............... Equation 3

Where d₁ and d₂ are the diameter of the first and second piston respectively.

Substitute equation 2 and equation 3 into equation 1

F1/πd₁²/4 = F2/πd₂²/4

F1/d₁² = F2/d₂² ................. Equation 4

make F2 the subject of the equation,

F2 = (F1×d₂)/d₁²................ Equation 5

Given: F1 = 240 N, d₁ = 4 cm, d₂ = 10 cm.

Substitute into equation 5

F2 = (240×4²)/10²

F2 = 38.4 N.

spayn [35]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to Reyleigh's criteria. Here the resolution of the eye is defined as 1.22 times the wavelength over the diameter of the eye. Mathematically this is,

\theta = \frac{1.22 \lambda }{D}

Here,

D is diameter of the eye

D = \frac{1.22 (539nm)}{5.11 mm}

D= 1.287*10^{-4}m

The angle that relates the distance between the lights and the distance to the lamp is given by,

Sin\theta = \frac{d}{L}

For small angle, sin\theta = \theta

sin \theta = \frac{d}{L}

Here,

d = Distance between lights

L = Distance from eye to lamp

For small angle sin \theta = \theta

Therefore,

L = \frac{d}{sin\theta}

L = \frac{0.691m}{1.287*10^{-4}}

L = 5367m

Therefore the distance is 5.367km.

Is a spring stores 5 J of energy when its conpresses by 0.5 m what is the spring constant of the spring?
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

k = 40 N/m

Explanation:

A spring's energy is given:

U = 0.5kx^2

U is the energy in the spring, k is the spring constant and x is the spring displacement.

We are told that the spring stores 5J of energy, therefore, U = 5J. We are also told that the spring is compressed by 0.5m, so the spring x = 0.5m

5 J = 0.5k(0.5m)^2\\5J = 0.5k(0.25m^2)\\5J = k*(0.125)m^2\\\\k = 5J/(0.125)m^2\\k = 40 N/m

k = 40 N/m

Hope this helps!

3. When a person is outside of the system and they add energy to the
NISA [10]

Answer:

We show added energy to a system as +Q or -W

Explanation:

The first law of thermodynamics states that, in an isolated system, energy can neither be created nor be destroyed;

Energy is added to the internal energy of a system as either work energy or heat energy as follows;

ΔU = Q - W

Therefore, when energy is added as heat energy to a system, we show the energy as positive Q (+Q), when energy is added to the system in the form of work, we show the energy as minus W (-W).
