<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>

Thermostat

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

A thermostat is a device that exerts control by switching heating or cooling devices on or off, or by regulating the flow of a heat transfer fluid as needed, to maintain the correct temperature.
Thermostat automatically regulates temperature, or that activates a device when the temperature reaches a certain point.

Answer:

Explanation:

In wheel and axle. …with the system is the velocity ratio, or the ratio of the velocity (VF) with which the operator pulls the rope at F to the velocity at which the weight W is raised (VW). This ratio is equal to twice the radius of the large drum divided by the difference…

Three identical very dense masses of 7500 kg each are placed on the x axis. One mass is at x1 = -100 cm , one is at the origin,

sukhopar [10]

Answer:

0.00354 (N)

Explanation:

Convert to metric system:

$x_1 = -100 cm = 1 m$

$x_2 = 420 cm = 4.2 m$

Formula for gravitational force:

$F_g = G\frac{mM}{s^2}$

where s is the distance between 2 bodies masses m and M

Substitute the number to the formula above and since the 2 forces are acting in opposite direction, the total net gravitational force on the mass of origin be:

$F_g = F_{g1} - F_{g2}$

$F_g = G\frac{m_1M}{x_1^2} - G\frac{m_2M}{x_2^2}$

$F_g = GM(\frac{m_1}{x_1^2} - \frac{m_2}{x_2^2})$

$F_g = 6.67*10^{-11} * 7500 (\frac{7500}{1^2} - \frac{7500}{4.2^2})$

$F_g = 5*10^{-7}(7500 - 425.17)$

$F_g = 5*10^{-7} * 7074.83$

$F_g = 0.00354 (N)$

The charge stored in a parallel plate capacitor is proportional to the _____(potential, current) and across _____ (resistance, c

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

The charge stored in a parallel plate capacitor is proportional to the potential, and capacitance across the plates.

Explanation:

The capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor is given by:

$C=\frac{Q}{V}$

where

Q is the charge stored

V is the potential difference across the capacitor

Re-arranging the formula, we get

$Q=CV$

From this expression, we see that the charge stored (Q) is proportional to both the potential (V) and the capacitance (C).

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:

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