Q: The small piston of a hydraulic lift has a cross-sectional of 3.00 cm2 and its large piston has a cross-sectional area of 200 cm2. What downward force of magnitude must be applied to the small piston for the lift to raise a load whose weight is Fg = 15.0 kN?

Answer:

225 N

Explanation:

From Pascal's principle,

F/A = f/a ...................... Equation 1

Where F = Force exerted on the larger piston, f = force applied to the smaller piston, A = cross sectional area of the larger piston, a = cross sectional area of the smaller piston.

Making f the subject of the equation,

f = F(a)/A ..................... Equation 2

Given: F = 15.0 kN = 15000 N, A = 200 cm², a = 3.00 cm².

Substituting into equation 2

f = 15000(3/200)

f = 225 N.

Hence the downward force that must be applied to small piston = 225 N

H. A truck starts to move from rest. If it gains the acceleration of 3 m/s2 in 5 sec,
SashulF [63]

Answer:

1. The final velocity of the truck is 15 m/s

2. The distance travelled by the truck is 37.5 m

Explanation:

1. Determination of the final velocity

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Acceleration (a) = 3 m/s²

Time (t) = 5 s

Final velocity (v) =?

The final velocity of the truck can be obtained as follow:

v = u + at

v = 0 + (3 × 5)

v = 0 + 15

v = 15 m/s

Therefore, the final velocity of the truck is 15 m/s

2. Determination of the distance travelled

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Acceleration (a) = 3 m/s²

Time (t) = 5 s

Distance (s) =?

The distance travelled by the truck can be obtained as follow:

s = ut + ½at²

s = (0 × 5) + (½ × 3 × 5²)

s = 0 + (½ × 3 × 25)

s = 0 + 37.5

s = 37.5 m

Therefore, the distance travelled by the truck is 37.5 m

How long does it take a car traveling at 45km/h to travel 100.0 m?
djyliett [7]

Answer:

8 seconds

Explanation:

Since the carspeed is in km/h, we need equal units, so we will make 100.0m 0.1000km.

Then we need to find how long it takes the car to travel 0.1km

We can use the formula distance=speed * time and get

0.1=45 * time

Therefore we get .002222... hours

Multiplying this by 3600 (to get seconds, 60x60), we get 8 seconds

Your hands get warm by a fire because _____energy is converted into heat energy​
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

Your hands get warm by fire because chemical energy gets converted into heat energy. When the chemical bonds in the wood are released in the air which then mixes with oxygen and emit heat. This is the reason why it is always hot when you go near something that is burning or is up in flames.

A block of mass m is compressed against a spring (spring constant kk) on a horizontal frictionless surface. The block is then re
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

A) True, B) False, C) False  and  D) false

Explanation:

Let's solve the problem using the law of conservation of energy to know if the statements are true or false

Let's look for mechanical energy

Initial

     Emo = Ke = ½ k Dx2

Final

     Em1= ½ m v12

     Emo = Em1

     ½ k Δx2 = ½ m v₁²

    v₁² = k / m Δx²

    v₁ = √ k/m   Δx

Now let's calculate the speed when it falls

   Vfy² = Voy² - 2gy

   Vfy² = - 2gy

   Vf² = v₁² + vfy²

A) True     v₁ = A Δx

.B) False. As there is no rubbing the mechanical energy conserves

.C) False the velocity is proportional to the square root of the height

     v2y = v2 √2

. D) false promotional compression speed
