Answer:

Hydraulic press is called an instrument for multiplication of force. Why? Because it uses Pascal's idea and principle: F=p*S. If we apply small force to small piston you will generate a pressure. According to Pascal's law pressure is the same everywhere in closed system so the same pressure will act on large piston on the other side too.

3. The second piston will experience the same force as compared with the first. This is because since the pressure is the same everywhere inside the fluid system, the force is proportional to the surface area. We are told that both the first and the second piston have the same surface area, therefore, they will both experience the same force/pressure.

4. The situation is much the same as number 3 above, with the exception that the second piston is twenty times larger than the first. Again, since the pressure is the same everywhere inside the fluid system, the force is proportional to the surface area. We are told that the second piston is 20 times larger than the first, therefore, the larger piston will experience 20 times larger the force of the small one.

6. The answer is TRUE. The hydraulic braking system of most cars makes use of a vacuum servo (or booster), which is located between the brake pedal and the master cylinder piston. This vacuum servo amplifies the force applied from the brake pedal.

The earth travels around the sun once a year in an approximately circular orbit whose radius is 1.50x10^11 m. From this data det

seraphim [82]

(a) Determine the circumference of the Earth through the equation,
C = 2πr
Substituting the known values,
C = 2π(1.50 x 10¹¹ m)
C = 9.424 x 10¹¹ m

Then, divide the answer by time which is given to a year which is equal to 31536000 s.
orbital speed = (9.424 x 10¹¹ m)/31536000 s

orbital speed = 29883.307 m/s

Hence, the orbital speed of the Earth is ~29883.307 m/s.

(b) The mass of the sun is ~1.9891 x 10³⁰ kg.

The lower the angle of the slope, ________ the acceleration along the ramp, therefore, the speed at the bottom of a slope will b

pogonyaev

Answer:

Lower

gsintheta (gsinθ)

Explanation:

The sum of forces resolved parallel to the inclined plane is given by;

F - mgsinθ = 0

ma - mgsinθ = 0

ma = mgsinθ

a = gsinθ

Acceleration is proportional to angle of inclination, thus the lower the angle of the slope, lower the acceleration along the ramp.

therefore, the speed at the bottom of a slope will be lower, (velocity is directly proportional to acceleration) and, consequently, the control will be better.

The acceleration along the ramp, is gsintheta (gsinθ)

Answer:

Explanation:

Firstly to calculate the total mass of the can before the metal was lowered we need to add the mass of the eureka can and the mass of the water in the can. We don't know the mass of the water but we can easily find if we know the volume of the can. In order to calculate the volume we would have to multiply the area of the cross section by the height. So we do the following.

100 $cm^{2}$ x 10cm = 1000 $cm^{3}$

Now in order to find the mass that water has in this case we have to multiply the water's density by the volume, and so we get....

$\frac{1g}{cm^{3} }$ x 1000 $cm^{3}$ = 1000g or 1kg

Knowing this, we now can calculate the total mass of the can before the metal was lowered, by adding the mass of the water to the mass of the can. So we get....

1000g + 100g = 1100g or 1.1kg

The volume of the water that over flowed will be equal to the volume of the metal piece (since when we add the metal piece, the metal piece will force out the same volume of water as itself, to understand this more deeply you can read the about "Archimedes principle"). Knowing this we just have to calculate the volume of the metal piece an that will be the answer. So this time in order to find volume we will have to divide the total mass of the metal piece by its density. So we get....

20g ÷ $\frac{8g}{cm^{3} }$ = 2.5 $cm^{3}$

Now to find out the total mass of the can after the metal piece was lowered we would have to add the mass of the can itself, mass of the water inside the can, and the mass of the metal piece. We know the mass of the can, and the metal piece but we don't know the mass of the water because when we lowered the metal piece some of the water overflowed, and as a result the mass of the water changed. So now we just have to find the mass of the water in the can keeping in mind the fact that 2.5 $cm^{3}$ overflowed. So now we the same process as in number a) just with a few adjustments.

$\frac{1g}{cm^{3} }$ x (1000 $cm^{3}$ - 2.5 $cm^{3}$ ) = 997.5g

So now that we know the mass of the water in the can after we added the metal piece we can add all the three masses together (the mass of the can. the mass of the water, and the mass of the metal piece) and get the answer.

100g + 997.5g + 20g = 1117.5g or 1.1175kg
