I'd say ground. <span>Voltage in the US is 110-120 volts while in other countries it is 220-240 volts. if you have a 110-120 volt appliance, you need a step-up transformer (110 to 220)before you could use it in a 220 volt power supply.</span>

A wagon wheel consists of 8 spokes of uniform diamter, each of mass m, and length L. The outer ring has a mass m rin. What is th

Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

$L^2(\dfrac{8m}{3}+m_r)$

Explanation:

m = Mass of each rod

L = Length of rod = Radius of ring

$m_r$ = Mass of ring

Moment of inertia of a spoke

$\dfrac{mL^2}{3}$

For 8 spokes

$8\dfrac{mL^2}{3}$

Moment of inertia of ring

$m_rL^2$

Total moment of inertia

$8\dfrac{mL^2}{3}+m_rL^2\\\Rightarrow L^2(\dfrac{8m}{3}+m_r)$

The moment of inertia of the wheel through an axis through the center and perpendicular to the plane of the ring is $L^2(\dfrac{8m}{3}+m_r)$ .

A street light is mounted at the top of a 15-ft-tall pole. A man 6 ft tall walks away from the pole with a speed of 4 ft/s along

babymother [125]

Answer:

Explanation:

height of pole = 15 ft

height of man = 6 ft

Let the length of shadow is y .

According to the diagram

Let at any time the distance of man is x.

The two triangles are similar

$\frac{y-x}{y}=\frac{6}{15}$

15 y - 15 x = 6 y

9 y = 15 x

$y=\frac{5}{3}x$

Differentiate with respect to time.

$\frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{5}{3}\frac{dx}{dt}$

As given, dx/dt = 4 ft/s

$\frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{5}{3}\times 4$

$\frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{20}{3}$ ft/s

What force is necessary to keep a mass of 0.8 kg revolving in a horizontal circle of radius 0.7 m with a period of 0.5 s? What i

inn [45]

Answer:

88.34 N directed towards the center of the circle

Explanation:

Applying,

F = mv²/r................... Equation 1

F = Force needed to keep the mass in a circle, m = mass of the mass, v = velocity of the mass, r = radius of the circle.

But,

v = 2πr/t................... Equation 2

Where t = time, π = pie

Substitute equation 2 into equation 1

F = m(2πr/t)²/r

F = 4π²r²m/t²r

F = 4π²rm/t²............. Equation 3

From the question,

Given: m = 0.8 kg, r = 0.7 m, t = 0.5 s

Constant: π = 3.14

Substitute these values into equation 3

F = 4(3.14²)(0.7)(0.8)/0.5²

F = 88.34 N directed towards the center of the circle

The _____ deflects these winds to the right in the northern hemisphere and to the Southern Hemisphere

almond37 [142]

Answer:

Coriolis Effect

Explanation:

The Coriolis effect is responsible for the deflection of winds to the right in the Northern hemisphere and to the right in the Southern hemisphere. It is an effect that occurs because of the rotation of the earth around its axis.

The implication of this is that in areas of low pressure in the Northern hemisphere, winds tend to blow in anticlockwise direction, and in areas of high pressure, it blows in a clockwise direction. The opposite of this happens in the Southern hemisphere.
