The range of the projectile is 188 m
Explanation:
The motion of the arrow in this problem is a projectile motion, so it follows a parabolic path which consists of two independent motions:
- A uniform motion (constant velocity) along the horizontal direction
- An accelerated motion with constant acceleration (acceleration of gravity) in the vertical direction
The path of a projectile is the combination of these two motions: see figure in attachment.
In order to find the horizontal range of the projectile, we just need to calculate the horizontal distance travelled.
We have:
t = 5.0 s (time of fligth of the projectile)
and the horizontal velocity is constant, and it is given by
where
is the initial velocity
is the angle of projection
Substituting,
And therefore, the range of the projectile is:

Answer:
Transformers are used to increase or decrease the voltage of AC currents
Explanation:
A transformer is a device consisting of two coils (called primary and secondary coil) wrapped at the two sides of a soft iron core. When an AC current is present in the primary coil, it induces a magnetic field inside the core, and the presence of this changing magnetic field induces a voltage (and a current) into the secondary coil.
The voltages in the primary and the secondary coil are related by the transformer equation:
where
Vp, Vs are the voltages in the primary and secondary coil
Np, Ns are the number of turns in the primary and secondary coil
There are two types of transformers:
- Step-up transformers: these have , so that
, which means that they increase the voltage. They are used to increase the voltage of the AC current produced by the power plants, before being sent into the transmission lines.
- Step-down transformers: these have , so that
, which means that they decrease the voltage. They are used at the end of the transmission lines, before the houses, in order to decrease the voltage and allow the household appliances to work properly (in fact, household appliances need lower voltages to work)
