Answer:

O Transformer

Explanation:

A transformer is a device for increasing or decreasing voltage through electromagnetic induction. It is very used in power transmission where alternating currents can be stepped up or down for house hold usage.

Electromagnetic induction is the process of generating current through magnetic fields.
It is made up of primary and secondary coils which helps to change voltage in the presence of magnetic filed at the core.
A transformer can either be a step up or step down device.

The A string of a violin is a little too tightly stretched. Beats at 4.00 per second are heard when the string is sounded togeth

Basile [38]

Answer:

$T=2.5*10^{-3}s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Beat frequency $F_b=4$

Frequency $F=400Hz$

Generally the equation for Frequency of the violin is mathematically given by

$f_v=F_b+F$

$f_v=4+400Hz$

$f_v=404Hz$

Therefore the period of the violin string oscillations is

$T=\frac{1}{f_v}$

$T=\frac{1}{404}$

$T=2.5*10^{-3}s$

An average sleeping person metabolizes at a rate of about 80 W by digesting food or burning fat. Typically, 20% of this energy g

Leto [7]

Answer:

-4.7 x 10^-3 J/K-s

Explanation:

The Power generated by metabolizing food = 80 W

The watt W is equivalent to the Joules per sec J/s

therefor power = 80 J/s

20% of this energy is not used for heating, amount available for heating is

==> H = 80% of 80 = 0.8 x 80 = 64 J/s

The inner body temperature = 37 °C = 273 + 37 = 310 K

The entropy of this inner body ΔS = ΔH/T

ΔS = 64/310 = 0.2065 J/K-s

The skin temperature is cooler than the inner body by 7 °C

Temperature of the skin = 37 - 7 = 30 °C = 273 + 30 = 303 K

The entropy of the skin = ΔS = ΔH/T

ΔS = 64/303 = 0.2112 J/K-s

change in entropy of the person's body = (entropy of hot region: inner body) - (entropy of cooler region: skin)

==> 0.2065 - 0.2112 = -4.7 x 10^-3 J/K-s

Acceleration is positive when you are speeding up.

Vikki [24]

Answer:

B Negative

Explanation:

Its negative because when your going 25 mph your moving faster and when your coming up to the stop sign you will start to slow down going 10 mph then 0 mph when you reach the stop sign so it will be negative.
