If a person drives 4 miles east, then 3 miles west, here are the facts:

They are 1 mile away from where they started.

They have driven a total of 7 miles.

The amplitude of a paricular wave is 4.0 m. The crest to trough distance

kozerog [31]

Answer:

The crest to trough distance = 8 m

Explanation:

Given that,

The amplitude of a particular wave is 4.0 m.

We need to find the crest to trough distance.

We know that,

Amplitude = The distance from the base line to the crest or the the distance from the baseline to the trough.

It means,

Distance from crest to trough = 2(Amplitude)

= 2(4)

= 8 m

Hence, the crest to trough distance is equal to 8 m.

Imagine you are waiting for a train to pass at a railroad crossing. Will the train whistle have a higher pitch as the train appr

frosja888 [35]

THE DOPPLER EFFECT. Anyways, it would have a higher whistle as it approaches you, when it gets to you it only gets quieter because it leaves after. Think of a motorcycle going by, its loud coming to you then as it passes it gets quieter.

A car moves uphill at 40 km/h and then back downhill at 60 km/h. What is the average speed for the round trip?

jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

$S_a_v_e_r_a_g_e=48km/h$

Explanation:

Ok, the average speed can be calculate with the next equation:

$S_a_v_e_r_a_g_e=\frac{Total\hspace{3}distance}{Total\hspace{3}time}$ (1)

Basically the car cover the same distance "d" two times, but at different speeds, so:

$Total\hspace{3}distance=2*d$

and the total time would be the time t1 required to go from A to B plus the time t2 required to go back from B to A:

$Total\hspace{3}time=t1+t2$

From basic physics we know:

$t=\frac{d}{S1}$

so:

$t1=\frac{d}{S1}$

$t2=\frac{d}{S2}$

Using the previous information in equation (1)

$S_a_v_e_r_a_g_e=\frac{2*d}{\frac{d}{S1} +\frac{d}{S2} }=\frac{2*d}{\frac{d*S2+d*S1}{S1+S2} }$

Factoring:

$S_a_v_e_r_a_g_e=\frac{2*S1*S2}{S1+S2}$ (2)

Finally, replacing the data in (2)

$S_a_v_e_r_a_g_e=\frac{2*40*60}{60+40} =48km/h$

What does Electromagnetic induction mean?

mina [271]

Answer:

Electromagnetic introduction is the production of an electromotive force (voltage) across an electrical conductor in a changing magnetic field.

Step up transformers is a transformer in which the output (secondary) voltage is greater than its input (primary) voltage is called a step-up transformer. The step-up transformer decreases the output current for keeping the input and output power of the system equal.

Step down transformer is a transformer in which the output (secondary) voltage is less than its input (primary) voltage is called a step-down transformer. The number of turns on the primary of the transformer is greater than the turn on the secondary of the transformer.

The difference between them:

A transformer is a static device which transfers a.c electrical power from one circuit to the other at the same frequency, but the voltage level is usually changed. For economical reasons, electric power is required to be transmitted at high voltage whereas it has to be utilized at low voltage from a safety point of view. This increase in voltage for transmission and decrease in voltage for utilization can only be achieved by using a step-up and step-down transformer.

Hopefully this helped.
