Answer: stronger than iron

Explanation: Steel is an alloy of iron mixed with small quantities of carbon. Iron being a pure metal is soft as the atoms can slip over one another due to the presence of free electrons.

Addition of carbon to iron, makes the iron hard as the carbon hinders the movement of atoms past one another. The tensile strength or resistance to break under applied force for steel gets more as compared to iron.

Describe what it means to view something from a frame of reference. Give an example to illustrate your explanation.

Komok [63]

Answer:

In physics, the concept of a frame of reference is used to specify the perspective from which an object or event is observed.

A frame of reference is where the measurements or observations will be made. Because of this, observing an event may be different when changing from one frame of reference to another, because the measurements will be different.

Defining frames of reference is necessary because the movement is relative, it may be that from our perspective or from a frame of reference on earth we are at rest, but seen from a frame of reference in space, we are in motion due that the earth is always moving.

Another example of frames of reference is a moving plane. Seen from the ground an object in the plane moves at the speed at which the plane travels, but if the frame of reference is fixed on the plane, the object is at rest.

Is Natural Gas nonrenewable or renewable? Why? Use in your own words.

Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

Natural gas is non renewable energy.

Explanation:

Because they were formed from the buried reamains of plants and animals that live a million years ago. It is formed from fossil fuels.

A transformer has a secondary voltage of 140 volts and a secondary current of 3.5 amps. if the primary current is 10 amps, what

Lynna [10]

For an ideal transformer power loss is assumed to be zero

i.e. the power in primary coil due to input voltage must be equal to power in secondary coil due to output voltage

this can be written in form of equation

$V_1 i_1 = V_2 i_2$

here we know that

$V_2 = 140 volts$

$i_2 = 3.5 A$

$i_1 = 10 A{/tex]now we will use above equation[tex]140*3.5 = 10 * V_1$

$V_1 = 49 volts$

So primary coil voltage is 49 Volts

Inductors in parallel. Two inductors L1 = 1.31 H and L2 = 2.24 H are connected in parallel and separated by a large distance so

mote1985 [20]

Answer:

a) 0.83H

b) 3.22/N Henry

Explanation:

Given two inductors L1 = 1.31 H and L2 = 2.24 H connected in parallel, their equivalent inductance derivative is similar to that of resistance in parallel.

Derivation:

If the voltage across an inductor

VL = IXL

I is the current

XL is the inductive reactance

XL = 2πfL

VL = I(2πfL)

L is the inductance.

From the formula, I = V/2πfL

Given two inductors in parallel, different current will flow through them.

I1 = V/2πfL1 (current in L1)

I2 = V/2πfL2 (current in L2)

Total current I = I1+I2

I = V/2πfL1 + V/2πfL2

I = V/2πf{1/L1+1/L2}

V/2πfL = V/2πf{1/L1+1/L2}

1/L = 1/L1+1/L2 (equivalent inductance in parallel)

Given L1 = 1.31 H and L2 = 2.24

1/L = 1/1.31 + 1/2.24

1/L = 0.763 + 0.446

1/L = 1.209

L = 1/1.209

L = 0.83H

The equivalent inductance is 0.83H

b) Given similar inductors L = 3.22H in parallel, the equivalent inductance will be:

1/L = 1/3.22+1/3.22+1/3.22+1/3.22+1/3.22

+1/3.22+1/3.22+1/3.22+1/3.22+1/3.22

1/L = 10/3.22 (since that all have the same denominator)

L = 3.22/10

If N = 10, the generalization of 10 similar inductors in parallel will be:

L = 3.22/N Henry
