As soon as you let go of it it is at its max speed because gravity is constantly pulling it down
There are multiple reasons for this. First of all, water is available in almost every place on the Earth. It doesn't pollute the air, doesn't cause health use and is easily handle.
Other factor is the fact that water has a really high specific heat. This means that water, and more specifically steam, can aborb and transport more energy. A lower heat capacity would imply the need to boil more of the liquid to obtain the same amount of energy. This combine with the fact that water expands at a large rate when boiling, combine with everything mentioned previously, and you get a liquid with all the characteristics that a efficient turbine requires to work.
Where Gravity rely's on only mass and distance and nothing else, so the weight on the planets will vary like you have stated. However Mars is smaller than Mercury, so the weight on Mars will be less, and the weight on Mercury will be more. Think this way.
More Mass = More Gravity = More Weight
Less Mass = Less Gravity = Less Weight
Answer:
option B
Explanation:
given,
Force exerted by the hydraulic jack piston = F₁ = 250 N
diameter of piston, d₁ = 0.02 m
r₁ = 0.01 m
diameter of second piston, d₂ = 0.15 m
r₂ = 0.075 m
mass of the jack to lift = ?
now,
F₂ = 14062.5 N
F = m g
m = 1435 Kg
hence, the correct answer is option B
