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
Answer:
D. Tidal energy is replaced naturally by the Moon's gravity.
Explanation:
The reason tidal energy is considered a renewable energy resource is that Tidal energy is replaced naturally by the Moon's gravity. The Moon's gravity creates bulges on the side of Earth that is closest and farthest from the Moon. These bulges also pull water causing high tides in those areas. As the Earth rotates these areas experience low tide while the areas that had low tide now experience high tide. This constant shift creates tidal energy every day, which is replenished naturally.
If the distance between two charges is halved, the electrical force between them increases by a factor 4.
In fact, the magnitude of the electric force between two charges is given by:

where
k is the Coulomb's constant
q1 and q2 are the two charges
r is the separation between the two charges
We see that the magnitude of the force F is inversely proportional to the square of the distance r. Therefore, if the radius is halved:

the magnitude of the force changes as follows:

so, the force increases by a factor 4.
Answer:
The experimental scientist
Answer:
The value is 
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The magnitude of the horizontal force is 
The mass of the crate is 
The acceleration of the crate is 
Generally the net force acting on the crate is mathematically represented as

Here
is force of kinetic friction (in N) acting on the crate
So
