What is the difference between potential energy and kinetic energy?
Potential energy is stored and available to be used later on. Kinetic energy have a motion can move, like bicycleWhat is the difference between potential energy and kinetic energy?

What is work? and how is work calculated?
Work is energy in action. work=F*D

What is efficiency? What is the formula for calculating the efficiency?
The efficiency is the ratio of the useful work or energy provided by a machine or system with the actual work or energy supplied to the machine or system. Efficiency=Work load/Work effort

What is Pascal's law?
A law is stating that when pressure is exerted on on part of fluid, the same pressure is transmitted unchanged to all parts of the fluid, no matter what the shape of the container holding the fluid

What is hydraulic systems? And Pneumatic system?
Hydraulic system is using the force of a liquid in a confine space. Pneumatic system does not seal gas usually air in a mechanical system in the same way that hydraulic system machines seal in hydraulic fluid.

A cherry picker uses hydraulics to raise a working platform. 10N of force are applied to the small piston in the hydraulic system to raise a load of 50N (on the large piston) a distance of 0.5m. How far would the small piston have to be pushed to accomplish this task?
2.5m

What is mechanical advantage and how is mechanical advantage calculated(2 different ways)
Mechanical advantage is the comparison of the force produced by the machine to the force applied to the machine. MA=DE/DL MA=FL/FE

Hovercrafts are used by the Canadian Coast Guard in search and rescue missions. They are also used commercially, to transport people, cars and equipment over long distances on land or water. The hovercraft has a pump that draws air from outside and pumps it out through small holes in the bottom of the hovercraft. A skirt around the bottom holds enough air to support the weight of the craft above the water or land. Propellers on the back of the craft drive the hovercraft forward, and rudders are used to steer it. (T or F?)
