A 12,000-N car is raised using a hydraulic lift, which consists of a U-tube with arms of unequal areas, filled with oil and capp

ed at both ends with tight-fitting pistons. The wider arm of the U-tube has a radius of 18.0 cm and the narrower arm has a radius of 5.00 cm. The car rests on the piston on the wider arm of the U-tube. The pistons are initially at the same level. What is the initial force that must be applied to the smaller piston in order to start lifting the car

Answer:

= 925.92 N

≅ 926N

Explanation:

Pressure due to car = pressure due to applied force  

12000/18^2 = Force / 5^2

force = 12000 * 25/ 324

= 925.92 N

For equilibrium

Pressure1 = Pressure2

A1F1 = A2F2

12000*pi*(5^2) = F2 ( pi)*(18^2)

so, F2 = Applied force to lift car = 925.92 N

Pascal's principle

Pressure1 = Pressure2

F1/A1 = F2/A2 (F=force and A=area)

A1 =Pi*(0.05)²

A2 =Pi(0.18)²

F2=12000

F1 = 12000*(0.05)² / (0.18)² = 926N

On my science test, there is a bonus question that I want to get right. Why would it be a bad idea to skydive on the moon? Hint:
eduard

Answer:

Because there is no air resistance

Explanation:

When an object falls on Earth, there are essentially two forces acting on it:

- The force of gravity, downward, equal to the weight of the object:

W=mg

where m is the mass and g the acceleration due to gravity

- The air resistance, F, which acts upward, and whose magnitude is generally proportional to v, the speed of the object

When the object starts its fall, its initial speed is zero: v = 0, so the air resistance is also zero: F=0, and the object accelerates downward due to gravity.

However, as it accelerates downward, its speed increases, and so does the air resistance F. However, F is upward, opposite to the direction of motion, therefore it reduces the net acceleration of the object; at a certain point, the magnitude of the air resistance will become equal to the weight, so that

mg = F

and at that point, the net acceleration of the object will become zero: this means that the object will continue its fall at a constant velocity, called terminal velocity.

On the Moon instead, there is no air resistance: this means that for an object falling down, the speed keeps increasing due to the effect of gravity, and it will never reach a terminal value: therefore, the final velocity at the impact will be much higher than on the Earth, if we assume the two objects have been dropped from a very high altitude from the surface.

myrzilka [38]

Answer:

the distance between the​ lawyer's home and her office is 124 miles

Explanation:

given information:

first lets assume that

x-axis (west = positive, east = negative)

y-axis (north = positive, south = negative)

thus,

distance of the house = (-88,18)

distance of the office = (13, -54)

thus, the distance between the​ lawyer's home and her office

R = √(x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²

   = √(13 - (-88))² + (-54 -18)²

   = 124 miles
