Answer:

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

Ep=mgh
h= Ep/mg
h=57÷(3.3×9.8)
h= 57÷32.34
h= 1.8m
So; the answer is B. 1.8m

Answer:

x = 5[km]

Explanation:

We must convert the time from minutes to hours.

$t=30[min]*\frac{1h}{60min}= 0.5[h]\\$

We know that speed is defined as the relationship between space and time.

$v=x/t$

where:

x = space [m]

t = time = 0.5 [h]

v = velocity [m/s]

Now replacing:

$x = 10[\frac{km}{h} ]*0.5[h]\\x=5[km]$
