A car traveling on a straight road at 10 meters per second accelerates uniformly to a speed of 21 meters per second in 12 second
labwork [276]
21+10=31 because you can see that 21 and 10 are in metres while 12 is in seconds so 21+10=31 is the answer.

Block A can slide relative to block B which, in turn, can slide on a perfectly smooth horizontal plane. If the initial velocity
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

the final velocity of the two blocks is v = \frac{mv_o}{m+M}

the distance that A slides relative to B is S = \frac{v_o^2M}{2 \mu g (M+m)}  

Explanation:

From the diagram below;

acceleration of A relative to B is : a = - ( \mu g  + \frac{ \mu mg}{M})

where

v = u + at

0 = v_o + ( - \mu g - \frac{\mu m g }{M})t

Making t the subject of the formula; we have:

t = \frac{v_o M}{(\mu g )(M+m)}

v^2 = u^2 +2 as\\\\0^2 = v_o^2 - 2 (\mu g ) (\frac{M+m}{M})S\\\\

S = \frac{v_o^2M}{2 \mu g (M+m)}  which implies the distance that A slides relative to B.

The final velocities of the two blocks can be determined as follows:

v = u + at

v = v_o - \mu g \frac{v_oM}{\mu g (M+m)}\\\\v = \frac{\mu g mv_o}{m+M}\\\\

v = \frac{mv_o}{m+M}

Thus, the final velocity of the two blocks is v = \frac{mv_o}{m+M}

A hydraulic machine has a small piston and a larger piston. Explain how a hydraulic machine multiplies force? What happens to th
Tanya [424]

Answer:

Explanation:

Pressure is equal to the force divided by the area on which it acts. Since the smaller piston has less area so from less force also we can get more efficiency in work. And according to the Pascal's principle, in a hydraulic system, pressure exerted on a piston produces an equal increase in pressure on another piston in the system. Thus by applying little force in the smaller piston, we can get same force from larger piston too. A hydraulic machine magnifies force.
