Answer:

The cross-sectional area of the larger piston is 392cm ^{2}[/tex]

Explanation:

To find the solution, we apply the following equation:

Pascal's principle: F=P*A   Formula (1)

F=Force applied to the piston

P: Pressure

A= Area of the piston

Nomenclature:

Fp= Force on the primary piston= 500N

W= weight of the car =m*g=2000kg*9.8m/s2= 19600N

Fs= Force on the secondary piston= W = 19600N

Ap= Primary piston area=10cm^{2} =10*10^{-4}m^{2}

As= Area of the secondary piston=?

Pressure applied on one side is distributed to all liquid molecules since liquids are incompressible.

From equation (1)

P=F/A

Pp=Ps

\frac{Fp}{Ap} = \frac{Fs}{As}

As= \frac{Fs*Ap}{Fp}

As=\frac{19600*10*10^{-4} }{500}

As=0.0392m^{2} =0.0392*10^{4}cm^{2}

As=392cm ^{2}

Sav [3153]

Response: Numerous elements can be found, all situated within the same vertical column as bromine.

Explanation:

Elements are organized by their atomic numbers on the periodic table. Those in the same vertical column (known as groups) exhibit the same valence electron configurations, resulting in similar chemical characteristics. Consequently, there are numerous elements sharing analogous chemical properties grouped with Bromine.

Yuliya22 [3333]

Answer:

The typical weight of a human heart is approximately 0.93 lbs.

Explanation:

Based on this,

the heart's weight constitutes about 0.5% of total body mass.

Total human weight = 185 lbs

Let the entire body weight be represented as w and the heart's weight as w_{h}.

We aim to determine the heart's weight for a human

Using the provided information

w_{h}=0.5\times w

Where, h = heart weight

w = human weight

w_{h}=\dfrac{0.5}{100}\times 185

w_{h}=0.93\ lbs

The final weight of a human heart is 0.93 lbs.

What is the sources of error and suggestion on how to overcome it in the hooke's law experiment?
Yuliya22 [3333]
In the study of physics, Hooke's law can be expressed as:

F = kx

This law indicates that the spring force F is proportional to the extension x, with k being the spring constant.

In experiments, this is often examined using the setup illustrated in the included figure. The spring is tested, and a known weight is applied underneath it. This weight exerts a gravitational pull, essentially its weight, on the spring. While the spring elongates, the displacement can be measured using a ruler.

Several potential errors can arise during this experiment. Firstly, the person's measurement reading may be faulty. Digital scales offer greater accuracy as they reduce human error, while ruler readings can be subjective, especially if not viewed at eye level. Additionally, the object's weight may be inaccurately measured if the scale is untrustworthy. Lastly, the measuring equipment may not be correctly calibrated.
