A hydraulic lift raises a 4000 kg automobile when a 500N force is applied to the smaller piston. If the smaller piston has an ar

ea of 10 cm2, what is the cross-sectional area of the larger piston?

Answer:

The cross-sectional area of the larger piston is 800 cm².

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the automobile, m = 4000 kg

force applied on the small piston, F₁ = 500 N

area of the smaller piston, A₁ = 10 cm²

load lifted by the larger piston, F₂ = 4000 x 10 = 40,000 N

Pressure experienced by each piston is given as;

\frac{F_1}{A_1} = \frac{F_2}{A_2}

Where;

A₂ is the cross-sectional area of the larger piston

\frac{F_1}{A_1} = \frac{F_2}{A_2} \\\\A_2 = \frac{F_2A_1}{F_1} \\\\A_2 = \frac{40,000 \ \times\ 10}{500} \\\\A_2=800 \ cm^2

Therefore, the cross-sectional area of the larger piston is 800 cm².

If a 20 N object has been lifted 5 meters above the ground, how much gravitational potential energy does it have?
Andreyy89

The gravitational potential energy of the object is 100 J.

Gravitational potential energy stored in an object is the work done in raising the object to a height <em>h</em> against the gravitational force acting on it.

The gravitational force acting on a body is its weight mg, where m is its mass and g, the acceleration due to gravity.

Work done by a force is equal to the product of the force and the displacement made by the point of application of the force.

GPE = mgh

The weight of the object is given as 20 J and it is raised to a height of 5 m.

GPE =(mg)*h = (20 N)*(5m)=100 J

The gravitational potential energy of the object is 100 J.

our iclicker operates at a frequency of approximately 900 mhz (900x106 hz). what is the approximate wavelength of the em wave pr
Elena-2011 [213]

wavelength of the EM  wave produced by your iclicker is 0.33 m.

<h3>What makes an EM wave?</h3>
  • When an electric field (illustrated in red arrows) combines with a magnetic field, electromagnetic waves are generated (which is shown in blue arrows). An electromagnetic wave's magnetic and electric fields are perpendicular to each other and to the wave's direction.
  • A changing magnetic field causes a changing electric field, and vice versa—the two are inextricably related. Electromagnetic waves are created by changing fields. Electromagnetic waves, unlike mechanical waves, do not require a medium to propagate.

The clicker emits EM (electromagnetic) wave which travels at the speed of light, that is

v = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

The frequency is

f = 900mHz = 9 x 10⁸ Hz

velocity = frequency * wavelength, the wavelength, λ,  is given by

fλ = v

λ = v/f

  = (3 x 10⁸ m/s) / (9 x 10⁸ 1/s)

  = 1/3 m = 0.333 m

A power plant running at 39 % efficiency generates 330 MW of electric power. Part A At what rate (in MW) is heat energy exhauste
marusya05 [52]

516.154 megawatts of heat are <em>exhausted</em> to the river that cools the plant.

By definition of energy efficiency, we derive an expression for the energy rate exhausted to the river (Q_{out}), in megawatts:

Q_{out} = Q_{in} - W

Q_{out} = \left(\frac{1}{\eta}-1 \right)\cdot W(1)

Where:

  • \eta - Efficiency.
  • W - Electric power, in megawatts.

If we know that \eta = 0.39 and W = 330\,MW, then the energy rate exhausted to the river is:

Q_{out} = \left(\frac{1}{0.39}-1 \right)\cdot (330\,MW)

Q_{out} = 516.154\,MW

516.154 megawatts of heat are <em>exhausted</em> to the river that cools the plant.

How are intensity sound and energy related
zubka84 [21]
Sound is a form of energy in that it consists fluctuations of air pressure . The speed of the fluctuations is measured in cycles per second or Hertz (HZ)

Intensity is how large the fluctuations are, also known as amplitude and for the sound the unit is decibels of sonic pressure level (dB SPL)
