Answer:

When the piston is pulled up, air gets sucked into the pump through the inlet. The pump chamber depressurizes as it fills with air. When the piston is forced down, the air becomes compressed and closes the inlet. Then the air flows out from the outlet.

A bungee cord is 30m long and when stretched a distance x itexerts a restoring force of magnitude kx. Your father-in-law (mass95

madam [21]

Answer:

The distance the bungee cord that would be stretched 0.602 m, should be selected when pulled by a force of 380 N.

Explanation:

As from the given data

the length of the rope is given as l=30 m

the stretched length is given as l'=41m

the stretched length required is give as y=l'-l=41-30=11m

the mass is m=95 kg

the force is F=380 N

the gravitational acceleration is g=9.8 m/s2

The equation of k is given by equating the energy at the equilibrium point which is given as

$U_{potential}=U_{elastic}\\mgh=\dfrac{1}{2} k y^2\\k=\dfrac{2mgh}{y^2}$

Here

m=95 kg, g=9.8 m/s2, h=41 m, y=11 m so

$k=\dfrac{2mgh}{y^2}\\k=\dfrac{2\times 95\times 9.8\times 41}{11^2}\\k=630.92 N/m$

Now the force is

$F=kx\\$ or

$x=\dfrac{F}{k}\\$

So here F=380 N, k=630.92 N/m

$x=\dfrac{F}{k}\\x=\dfrac{380}{630.92}\\x=0.602 m$

So the distance is 0.602 m

Why is current a scalar quantity?

Nutka1998 [239]

Despite current has a magnitude and a direction, like vectors, it is a scalar because it doesn't obey laws of vector addition. For instance, if we consider a junction of $90^{\circ}$ in a circuit, and two currents entering this junction, we know that the resultant current is just the algebraic sum of the two currents, not the vector sum, so it is not a vector quantity.
