Answer:

The correct choice is

A. AC voltage can be transformed into other voltages through transformers.

Explanation:

We can convert an AC Voltage to other higher or lower voltage making use of a step up or step down transformer. Electricity is transferred over long distances at high voltages as the losses are minimum at high voltage. The electricity can not be used in households at such high voltage. So the high voltage is converted to low voltage using transformers. This can only be done in case of AC Power.

How much energy is stored in a 2.80-cm-diameter, 14.0-cm-long solenoid that has 200 turns of wire and carries a current of 0.800

ozzi

Answer:

The energy stored in the solenoid is 7.078 x 10⁻⁵ J

Explanation:

Given;

diameter of the solenoid, d = 2.80 cm

radius of the solenoid, r = d/2 = 1.4 cm

length of the solenoid, L = 14 cm = 0.14 m

number of turns, N = 200 turns

current in the solenoid, I = 0.8 A

The cross sectional area of the solenoid is given as;

$A = \pi r^2\\\\A = \pi (0.014)^2\\\\A = 6.16*10^{-4} \ m^2$

The inductance of the solenoid is given by;

$L = \frac{\mu_0 N^2A}{l} \\\\L = \frac{(4\pi*10^{-7})(200^2)(6.16*10^{-4})}{0.14}\\\\L = 2.212*10^{-4} \ H$

The energy stored in the solenoid is given by;

E = ¹/₂LI²

E = ¹/₂(2.212 x 10⁻⁴)(0.8)²

E = 7.078 x 10⁻⁵ J

Therefore, the energy stored in the solenoid is 7.078 x 10⁻⁵ J

A 4.10 g bullet moving at 837 m/s strikes a 820 g wooden block at rest on a frictionless surface. The bullet emerges, traveling

atroni [7]

Answer:

(a) 1.85 m/s

(b) 4.1 m/s

Explanation:

Data

bullet mass, Mb = 4.10 g

initial bullet velocity, Vbi = 837 m/s

wooden block mass, Mw = 820 g

initial wooden block velocity, Vwi = 0 m/s

final bullet velocity, Vbf = 467 m/s

(a) From the conservation of momentum:

Mb*Vbi + Mw*Vwi = Mb*Vbf + Mw*Vwf

Mb*(Vbi - Vbf)/Mw = Vwf

4.1*(837 - 467)/820 = Vwf

Vwf = 1.85 m/s

(b) The speed of the center of mass speed is calculated as follows:

V = Mb/(Mb + Mw) * Vbi

V = 4.1/(4.1 + 820) * 837

V = 4.1 m/s

A car is driving at 85 km/h and the driver spots a stop sign ahead. What coefficient of friction is needed to stop the car at th

almond37 [142]

Answer:

μ = 0.0315

Explanation:

Since the car moves on a horizontal surface, if we sum forces equal to zero on the Y-axis, we can determine the value of the normal force exerted by the ground on the vehicle. This force is equal to the weight of the cart (product of its mass by gravity)

N = m*g (1)

The friction force is equal to the product of the normal force by the coefficient of friction.

F = μ*N (2)

This way replacing 1 in 2, we have:

F = μ*m*g (2)

Using the theorem of work and energy, which tells us that the sum of the potential and kinetic energies and the work done on a body is equal to the final kinetic energy of the body. We can determine an equation that relates the frictional force to the initial speed of the carriage, so we will determine the coefficient of friction.

$\frac{1}{2} *m*v_{i}^{2}-(F*d)= \frac{1}{2} *m*v_{f}^{2}$

where:

vf = final velocity = 0

vi = initial velocity = 85 [km/h] = 23.61 [m/s]

d = displacement = 900 [m]

F = friction force [N]

The final velocity is zero since when the vehicle has traveled 900 meters its velocity is zero.

Now replacing:

(1/2)*m*(23.61)^2 = μ*m*g*d

0.5*(23.61)^2 = μ*9,81*900

μ = 0.0315
