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

A strand of 10 lights is plugged into a outlet. How can you determine if the lights are connected in series or parrel
NeTakaya

Answer:

C) Unscrew one light. If the other lights turn off, it's a series circuit.

Explanation:

THIS IS THE COMPLETE QUESTION BELOW;

A strand of 10 lights is plugged into an outlet. How can you determine if the lights are connected in series or parallel? A) Unscrew one light. If the other lights stay on, it's a series circuit. B) Unplug the strand. If the first light stays on, it's a series circuit. C) Unscrew one light. If the other lights turn off, it's a series circuit. D) Cut the strand in half. If the plugged in half stays on, it's a series circuit.

SERIES CIRCUIT

In this circuit, the components there are in the same path, the entire circuit has the same current, each of the components posses different voltage drop. Hence, failure of one components to work, there will be break in entire circuit then other components cease to work.

PARALLEL CIRCUIT

This circuit has equal voltage drop across all the components, any problem in a component will not has effect on other components.

Therefore, if one want to determine if a light connection is in series or in parallel, one of the light can be unplugged if others stop working it means it's series, if other works it's parallel.

A person walks 9.0 km directly east and then turns left and heads directly north for 12.0 km. What is his displacement from the
Readme [11.4K]

Explanation:

Given that,

A person walks 9.0 km directly east and then turns left and heads directly north for 12.0 km.

We need to find his displacement from the starting position.

We know that,

Displacement = shortest path covered

D=\sqrt{9^2+12^2} \\\\D=15\ km

For direction,

\theta=\tan^{-1}(\dfrac{d_y}{d_x})\\\\\theta=\tan^{-1}(\dfrac{12}{9})\\\\= $$53.13^{\circ}

Hence, this is the required solution.

A rope breaks when the tension reaches 205 N. What is the maximum speed at which it can swing a 0.477 kg mass in a circle of rad
jekas [21]

Answer:

Maximum velocity will be 17.651 m /sec

Explanation:

We have given a rope breaks when tension reaches 205 N

Mass m = 0.477 kg

Radius of the circle r = 0.725 m

Tension in the rope is given by

T=\frac{mv^2}{r}

205=\frac{0.477\times v^2}{0.725}

0.477v^2=148.625

v^2=311.5828

v = 17.651 m /sec
