Answer:
Choice A: approximately
, assuming that the two pistons are connected via some confined liquid to form a simple machine.
Explanation:
Assume that the two pistons are connected via some liquid that is confined. Pressure from the first piston:
.
By Pascal's Principle, because the first piston exerted a pressure of
on the liquid, the liquid will now exert the same amount of pressure on the walls of the container.
Assume that the second piston is part of that wall. The pressure on the second piston will also be
. In other words:
.
To achieve a force of
, the surface area of the second piston should be:
.
Answer:
-1500 m/s2
Explanation:
So the ball velocity changes from 10m/s into the wall to -8m/s in a totally opposite direction within a time span of 0.012s. Then we can calculate the average acceleration of the ball as the change in velocity over a unit of time.

Answer:

Explanation:
Initial potential energy of the given spacecraft is given as

so we have

so we have






now total work done to move it to infinite is given
W = 0 - U

Answer:
State A = piece of metal; State B = air
Explanation:
For the three main states of matter here's how it breaks down.
Solid - Cannot be compressed and retains its shape
Liquid - Cannot be compressed and does not retain its shape
Gas - Compressible and does not retain its shape.
Knowing this State A has to be solid. Only one of the options has A as a solid, so that's the answer. Worth knowing state B is a gas though, only one compressible, just like solid is the only one that retains its shape.
