Neon signs require about 12,000 V for their operation. Consider a neon-sign transformer that operates off 120- V lines. How many

more turns should be on the secondary compared with the primary?

I can't give you the actual number of turns, because it's the RATIO
that counts. 

However many turns the primary has, the secondary should have
about TEN TIMES that number.  Then the transformer will multiply
the primary voltage by 10 ... 120 volts of AC at the primary will
become 1,200 volts of AC at the secondary.

Note that it HAS TO be AC.  If the transformer is supplied with DC,
then 120 volts at the primary becomes zero volts at the secondary
and a big cloud of stinky smoke in the room.

Which element has a magnetic properties​
vodomira [7]

Answer:

Since then only three elements on the periodic table have been found to be ferromagnetic at room temperature - iron (Fe), cobalt (Co), and nickel (Ni). The rare earth element gadolinium (Gd) nearly misses by only 8 degrees Celsius.

Assuming no friction, how does the initial gravitational potential energy of
babymother [125]

Answer:

a) They are the same.

Explanation:

Assuming no friction, there should be no energy transfer and thus the Law of Conservation of Energy says:

PE=KE,\\mgh=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

These types of problems also disregard any air resistance the surface of the object may cause. Therefore, no energy is transferred and from the Law of Conservation of Energy, 100\% of energy is preserved.

Explain what a coulomb is and be able to change from electron to coulomb and vice versa
torisob [31]

Answer:

Cuolomb is SI unit of charge

1 e=1.6022E-19 C

1 C = 6.2415E+18 e

Explanation:

Coulomb(C) is the SI unit for measuring electric charge and is given as the product of current and time. To convert Cuolomb to electron, we multiply each cuolomb of charge by 1 C = 6.2415E+18 e while to convert electron into charge, we multiply the electrons by 1e=1.6022E-19 C

What is the effect of pressure on boiling and melting substance?<br>​
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

The boiling point of liquids always increases when pressure is applied on a liquid. This is because the molecules of a liquid will need more energy to turn into a gaseous state when pressure is applied on that substance.

How much work would be needed to raise the payload from the surface of the moon (i.e., x = r) to an altitude of 5r miles above t
Cloud [144]

Let the data is as following

mass of payload = "m"

mass of Moon = "M"

now we know that we place the payload from the position on the surface of moon to the position of 5r from the surface

So in this case we can say that change in the gravitational potential energy is equal to the work done to move the mass from one position to other

so it is given by

W = U_f - U_i

we know that

U_f = -\frac{GMm}{6r}

U_i = -\frac{GMm}{r}

now from above formula

W = -\frac{GMm}{6r} + \frac{GMm}{r}

W = \frac{5GMm}{6r}

so above is the work done to move the mass from surface to given altitude
