Answer: The correct answer is "transformer".

Explanation:

Transformer: It is a device which transfers energy between two or more circuit.

It converts the voltage from low to high or high to low.

There are two types of transformers: Step-up transformer and Step-down transformer.

Step-up transformer: It is used to convert the voltage of alternating current from low voltage to high voltage.

Step-down transformer: It is used to convert the voltage of alternating current from high voltage to low voltage.

Therefore, a device that increases or decreases the voltage of alternating current is a transformer.

The gravitational potential energy of an object is equal to its weight multiplied by its
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

Height above a surface

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy is the energy which an object possesses due to its position above a surface.

It is also the amount of work a force has to do in order to bring an object from a particular position to a point of reference.

It is given mathematically as:

P. E. = m*g*h

where m = mass of the body

g = acceleration due to gravity

h = height above a surface

m*g represents the weight of the object.

Hence, Gravitational potential energy is the product of an object's weight and its height above a surface/reference point.

A 36-N crate is suspended from the left end of a plank. The plank weighs 21 N, but it is not uniform, so its center of gravity d
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

0.51 m

Explanation:

from the question we are given the following

weight of the crate = 36 N

weight of the plank = 21 N

distance of of the balance from the left end = 0.3 m

from the diagram attached, CG is the center of gravity ( the point near or within a body through which its weight can be assumed to act ), taking the CG as where the weight of the plank acts and it being at a distance L from the support

we can find the distance of the center of gravity just as we would find the moment about the support balance

therefore

36 x 0.3 = 21 x L

10.8 = 21L

L = 0.51 m

The center of gravity is 0.51 m to the right of the support.

A transverse sinusoidal wave on a string has a period T= 25.0ms and travels in the negative x direction with a speed of 30.0 m/s
aleksandrvk [35]

The wave is equation with the given conditions is y = 0.02 cos ( 0 )

<u>Given data</u>

period T= 25.0ms

speed of 30.0 m/s

t = 0

x = 0

transverse position of 2.00cm

speed of 2.0 m/s = v

<h3>writing the wave function </h3>

frequency f = 1 / T

f = 1 / 25

f = 0.04Hz

Angular velocity = ω = 2 * pi * f

ω = 2 * pi * 0.04

ω = 0.251

wave number K = ω / v

k = 0.251 / 2

k = 0.126

The wave equation

y = A cos (  kx + ωt )

this is equivalent to

y = 0.02 cos ( 0.126 * 0 + 0.251 * 0 )

y = 0.02 cos ( 0 )

A 97.6-kg baseball player slides into second base. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the player and the ground is μk =
Mila [183]

Answer:

v=6.65m/sec

Explanation:

From the Question we are told that:

Mass m=97.6

Coefficient of kinetic friction  \mu k=0.555

Generally the equation for Frictional force is mathematically given by

 F=\mu mg

 F=0.555*97.6*9.8

 F=531.388N

Generally the  Newton's equation for Acceleration due to Friction force is mathematically given by

 a_f=-\mu g

 a_f=-0.555 *9.81

 a_f=-54455m/sec^2

Therefore

 v=u-at

 v=0+5.45*1.22

 v=6.65m/sec
