Answer:

<h2>3 kg</h2>

Explanation:

The mass of the encyclopedia can be found by using the formula

$m = \frac{f}{a} \\$

f is the force

a is the acceleration

From the question we have

$m = \frac{15}{5} \\$

We have the final answer as

<h2>3 kg</h2>

Hope this helps you

Answer:

(a) Area(small piston)/Area(large piston) = 0.037

(b) h = 1336.36 cm = 13.36 m

Explanation:

(a)

The stress on the smaller piston is equally transmitted to the larger piston, in a hydraulic lift. Therefore,

Stress (small piston) = Stress (large piston)

Force (small piston)/Area (small piston) = Force (Large Piston)/Area (Large Piston)

Area(small piston)/Area(large piston) = Force (small piston)/Force(Large piston)

Area(small piston)/Area(large piston) = 550 N/(1500 kg)(9.8 m/s²)

<u>Area(small piston)/Area(large piston) = 0.037</u>

<u></u>

(b)

The work is also transmitted equally to the large piston. So,

Work(small piston) = Work(Large Piston)

Force(small piston).Displacement(small piston) = Force(large piston).Displacement(small piston)

(550 N)(h) = (1500 kg)(9.8 m/s²)(50 cm)

h = 735000 N.cm/550 N

<u>h = 1336.36 cm = 13.36 m</u>

the candle had 350 J of energy in the chemical store. As it burned, 250 J was transferred by lighting to the surrounding

Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

Efficiency = 71%

Explanation:

Given the following data:

Output energy = 250 Joules

Input energy = 350 Joules

To find efficiency;

$Efficiency = \frac {Out-put \; energy}{In-put \; energy} * 100$

Substituting into the equation, we have;

$Efficiency = \frac {250}{350} * 100$

$Efficiency = 0.7143 * 100$

Efficiency = 71.43 ≈ 71%

Therefore, the efficiency of the candle is 71 percent.

A 59kg child starting from rest slides down a water slide with a vertical height of 5.0m. what is the child's speed halfway down

KIM [24]

<span>EP (potential energy) = mgy -> (59)(9.8)(-5) = -2,891
EP + EK (kinetic energy) = 0; but rearranging it for EK makes it EK = -EP, such that EK = 2891 when plugged in.
EK = 0.5mv^2, but can also be v = sqrt(2EK/m).
Plugging that in for sqrt((2 * 2891)/59), we get 9.9 m/s^2 with respect to significant figures.</span>
