For the first challenge, Lex demands that Superman use the weight of a small stone to lift a boulder. Understanding the principl

es of fluids, Superman forms a hydraulic jack out of spare pipes, bits of metal, and river water. He places the small stone on the small piston, the boulder on the large piston, and, sure enough, the weight of the small stone raises the boulder sitting on the large piston. Explain how Superman uses Pascal’s Principle to succeed.

Pascal's law states that the pressure exerted on an incompressible fluid and in equilibrium within a container of non-deformable walls is transmitted with equal intensity in all directions and at all points of the fluid. In other words, it could be summed up further, stating that any pressure exerted on a fluid will spread over the entire substance evenly.

When Superman puts the stone on one side of the hydraulic system, the weight of the stone creates a pressure on the fluid that ends up being transmitted to lift the piston attached to the large stone. In order for the law of conservation of energy to exist and be maintained, the small stone has to move a lot so that the large stone moves only slightly, but moves safely.

If the star Sirius emits 23 times more energy than the Sun, why does the Sun appear brighter in the sky?
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

As b ∝ (L/r²) and

the distance of the sun from the earth is 0.00001581 light years

and

the distance of the Sirius from the earth is 8.6 light years

hence,

the Sun appear brighter in the sky

Explanation:

The brightness (b) is directly proportional to the Luminosity of the star (L) and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the star and the observer (r).

thus, mathematically,

b ∝ (L/r²)

now,

given

L for sirius is 23 times more than the sun i.e 23L

now,

the distance of the sun from the earth is 0.00001581 light years

and

the distance of the Sirius from the earth is 8.6 light years

thus,

using the the relation between conclude that the value of brightness for the Sirius comes very very low as compared to the value for brightness for the Sun.

hence, the sun appears brighter

What measurements or observations tells you that a car is accelerating
lutik1710 [3]

You need to observe the car at two different times.

-- The first time: 
You write down the car's speed, and the direction it's pointing.

-- The second time:
You write down the car's speed and the direction it's pointing, again.

You take the data back to your lab to analyze it.

-- You compare the first and second speed. If they're different,
then the car had acceleration during the time between the two
observations.

-- You compare the first and second direction.  If those are different,
even if the speeds are the same, then the car had acceleration during
the time between the two observations.

(Remember, "acceleration" doesn't mean "speeding up". 
It means any change in speed or direction of motion.)
