If a chemical change has taken place, which of these is most likely true?

An American traveler in China carries a transformer to convert China's standard 220 V to 120 V so that she can use some small ap

Arisa [49]

Answer:

(a) The ratio of turns in the primary and secondary coils of her transformer is 1.833

(b) The ratio of input to output current is 0.55

(c) To increase the output voltage, you can either increase the number of turns in the secondary coil (step-up) or increase the input current. Therefore, the Chinese person has to increase the input current of the transformer to achieve an increased output voltage that can power her 220 V appliances.

Explanation:

Given;

input voltage, $V_p$ = 220 V

output voltage, $V_s$ = 120 V

General transformer equation is given as;

$\frac{V_p}{V_s} = \frac{N_p}{N_s} = \frac{I_s}{I_p}$

where;

Np is number of turns in the primary coil

Ns is number of turns in the secondary coil

Is - is the secondary current or output current

Ip - is the primary current or input current

(a) The ratio of turns in the primary and secondary coils of her transformer;

$\frac{N_p}{N_s} = \frac{V_p}{V_s} \\\\\frac{N_p}{N_s} = \frac{220}{120} = 1.833$

(b) The ratio of input to output current;

$\frac{I_p}{I_s} = \frac{V_s}{V_p} \\\\\frac{I_p}{I_s} = \frac{120}{220} \\\\\frac{I_p}{I_s} = 0.55$

(c) To increase the output voltage, you can either increase the number of turns in the secondary coil (step-up) or increase the input current. Therefore, the Chinese person has to increase the input current of the transformer to achieve an increased output voltage that can power her 220 V appliances.

Which of the following statements are true? Check all that apply.

lidiya [134]

We have 6 levels and we will verify which of them is true.

A ) Electric charge is conserved

According to the conservation of charge, an electric charge can neither be created nor be destroyed.

Therefore this statement is TRUE.

B ) A positive charge and negative charge attract each other

According to the properties of charges, the opposite charges attract each other and similar charges repel each other

Therefore this statement is TRUE

C) Two positive charges attract each other.

Using the previous law, we can observe that this statement is false, because equal charges repel each other.

Therefore this statement is FALSE.

D ) Two negative charges repel each other.

Using the same principle as the two previous statements, two equal charges repel each other.

Therefore this statement is TRUE

E) Electric charge is quantized.

According to the quantization of charge, charges can take values only in integral multiples of a fundamental unit of charge.

Therefore this statement is TRUE.

F) A neutral object contains no charge.

A neutral object contains equal amount of negative and positive charge. Thus, in totality a neutral object contains no charge.

Therefore this statement is TRUE.

A beam oflight is reflected off a mirror. If the angle of incidence is 30 degrees, according to the Law of Reflection the angle

zaharov [31]

Answer:

30°

Explanation:

According to the second law of reflection, it States that the angle of incidence i is equal to the angle of reflection r.

The angle of incidence is known to be the angle between the incident ray and the normal.

The Angle of reflection is the angle between the reflected ray and the normal.

This normal ray is a ray that is perpendicular to the surface.

According to the question, if the beam of light is reflected off the surface and its angle of incidence is 30°, its angle of reflection will also be 30° i.e i=r = 30°

A little girl kicks a soccer ball. It goes 10 feet and comes back to her. How is this possible?

marta [7]

A classic puzzle...

She either kicked it at a wall exactly 10 foot in front of her, where the ball rebounded off the wall.

Or, she kicked the ball straight up, vertically, at a 90 degree angle, where due to the law of gravity, which states that anything that goes up must come down, when the soccer ball reaches exactly 10 feet, it falls back down.
(Note: This is nearly impossible to achieve -- exactly 10 feet.)
