Answer:

<h3>62.5N</h3>

Explanation:

The pressure at one end of the piston is equal to the pressure on the second piston.

Pressure = Force/Area

F1/A1 = F2/A2

Given

F1 = 250N

A1 = 2.0m²

A2 = 0.5m²

F2 = ?

Substituting the given values in the formula;

250/2 = F2/0.5

cross multiply

250*0.5 = 2F2

125 = 2F2

F2 = 125/2

F2 = 62.5N

Hence the  force needed to lift this piston if the area of the second piston is 0.5 m^2 is 62.5N

Why does a balloon stick to a wall questions and problems answers?
Akimi4 [234]
<span>The reason that the balloon will stick to the wall is because the negative charges in the balloon will make the electrons in the wall move to the other side of their atoms and this leaves the surface of the wall positively charged.</span>

George walks to a friend's house. He walks 850 meters north before he realizes he walked too far.
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

<h2>44 m/s</h2>

Explanation:

In this problem we are expected to calculate the velocity of Georges movements.

Given data

Total distance covered by  George= 850+250= 1100 meters

Time taken  by  George to cover the total distance= 25 seconds

We know that velocity is, v= distance/ time

Therefore substituting our data into the expression for velocity we have

v= 1100/ 25= 44 m/s

Hence the velocity in m/s is 44
