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.

At high speeds, a particular automobile is capable of an acceleration of about 0.540 m/s^2. At this rate, how long (in seconds)
Mama L [17]

Answer:

t = 6.68 seconds

Explanation:

The acceleration of the automobile, a=0.54\ m/s^2

Initial speed of the automobile, u = 91 km/hr = 25.27 m/s

Final speed of the automobile, v = 104 km/hr = 28.88 m/s

Let t is the time taken to accelerate from u to v. It can be calculated as the following formula as :

t=\dfrac{v-u}{a}

t=\dfrac{28.88-25.27}{0.54}

t = 6.68 seconds

So, the time taken by the automobile to accelerate from u to v is 6.68 seconds. Hence, this is the required solution.

A purse at radius 2.30 m and a wallet at radius 3.45 m travel in uniform circular motion on the floor of a merry-go-round as the
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

The acceleration of the wallet is 3\hat{i}+6\hat{j}

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius of purse r= 2.30 m

Radius of wallet r'= 3.45 m

Acceleration of the purse a=2\hat{i}+4.00\hat{j}

We need to calculate the acceleration of the wallet

Using formula of acceleration

a=r\omega^2

Both the purse and wallet have same angular velocity

\omega=\omega'

\sqrt{\dfrac{a}{r}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{a'}{r'}}

\dfrac{a}{r}=\dfrac{a'}{r'}

\dfrac{a'}{a}=\dfrac{r'}{r}

\dfrac{a'}{a}=\dfrac{3.45}{2.30}

\dfrac{a'}{a}=\dfrac{3}{2}

a'=\dfrac{3}{2}\times(2\hat{i}+4.00\hat{j})

a'=3\hat{i}+6\hat{j}

Hence, The acceleration of the wallet is 3\hat{i}+6\hat{j}

A cart is pulled by a force of 250 N at an angle of 35° above the horizontal. The cart accelerates at 1.4 m/s2. The free-body di
Vikki [24]

Answer:

Mass of the cart = 146 kg

Explanation:

A cart is pulled by a force of 250 N at an angle of 35° above the horizontal.

The cart accelerates at 1.4 m/s² horizontally.

Horizontal force = Fcosθ = 250 cos35° = 204.79N

We have F = ma

Substituting

        204.79 = m x 1.4  

              m = 146.28 kg = 146 kg

Mass of the cart = 146 kg

While running at a constant velocity, how should you throw a ball with respect to you so that you can catch it yourself?
timurjin [86]
You are running at constant velocity in the x direction, and based on the 2D definition of projectile motion, Vx=Vxo. In other words, your velocity in the x direction is equal to the starting velocity in the x direction. Let's say the total distance in the x direction that you run to catch your own ball is D (assuming you have actual values for Vx and D). You can then use the range equation, D= (2VoxVoy)/g, to find the initial y velocity, Voy. g is gravitational acceleration, -9.8m/s^2. Now you know how far to run (D), where you will catch the ball (xo+D), and the initial x and y velocities you should be throwing the ball at, but to find the initial velocity vector itself (x and y are only the components), you use the pythagorean theorem to solve for the hypotenuse. Because you know all three sides of the triangle, you can also solve for the angle you should throw the ball at, as that is simply arctan(y/x).
