A student wants to create a 6.0V DC battery from a 1.5V DC battery. Can this be done using a transformer alone

shusha [124]

Answer:

Therefore, we need an invert, and a rectifier, along with the transformer to do the job.

Explanation:

A transformer, alone, can not be used to convert a DC voltage to another DC voltage. If we apply a DC voltage to the primary coil of the transformer, it will act as short circuit due to low resistance. It will cause overflow of current through winding, resulting in overheating pf the transformer.

Hence, the transformer only take AC voltage as an input, and converts it to another AC voltage. So, the output voltage of a transformer is also AC voltage.

So, in order to convert a 6 V DC to 1.5 V DC we need an inverter to convert 6 V DC to AC, then a step down transformer to convert it to 1.5 V AC, and finally a rectifier to convert 1.5 V AC to 1.5 V DC.

<u>Therefore, we need an invert, and a rectifier, along with the transformer to do the job.</u>

A person throws a pumpkin at a horizontal speed of 4.0 — off a cliff. The pumpkin travels 9.5 m horizontally

Complete Question

A person throws a pumpkin at a horizontal speed of 4.0 m/s off a cliff. The pumpkin travels 9.5m horizontally before it hits the ground. We can ignore air resistance.What is the pumpkin's vertical displacement during the throw? What is the pumpkin's vertical velocity when it hits the ground?

Answer:

The pumpkin's vertical displacement is $H = 27 .67 \ m$

The pumpkin's vertical velocity when it hits the ground is $v_v__{f}} = 23.298 \ m/s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The horizontal speed is $v_h = 4 m/s$

The horizontal distance traveled is $d = 9.5 \ m$

The horizontal distance traveled is mathematically represented as

$S = v_h * t$

Where t is the time taken

substituting values

$9.5 = 4 * t$

=> $t = \frac{9.5}{4}$

$t = 2.38 \ sec$

Now the vertical displacement is mathematically represented as

$H = v_v t + \frac{1}{2} a_v t^2$

now the vertical velocity before the throw is zero

So

$H = 0 + \frac{1}{2} (9.8) * (2.375)^2$

$H = 27 .67 \ m$

Now the final vertical velocity is mathematically represented as

$v_v__{f}} = v_v + at$

substituting values

$v_v__{f}} = 0 + (9.8)* (2.375)$

$v_v__{f}} = 23.298 \ m/s$

Newer aircraft jet catapult systems use magnets instead of steam. The launch still takes 1.19 seconds, but the acceleration is a

Westkost [7]

Answer:

33.6 m

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 47.41 m/s²

t = 1.19 s

Find: Δx

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

Δx = (0 m/s) (1.19 s) + ½ (47.41 m/s²) (1.19 s)²

Δx = 33.6 m
