Please don't use a car's ignition coil as an example. Let's just say it's an ordinary transformer. If you connect 1800 volts AC to one side of the transformer and you get 12 volts out of the other side, then the turns of wire are in the same ratio as the voltages ... 1800/12 = 150.
A car coil doesn't work like an ordinary transformer. In a car, you put 12-volt pulses into one side, and you get voltage out of the other side that's high enough to fire spark plugs and ignite gasoline.
So you've actually got the primary and secondary windings labeled in reverse in the question, and you're actually using it as a step-DOWN transformer.

Big Ben, a large artifact in England, has a mass of 1x10^8 kilograms and the Empire State Building 1x10^9 kilograms. The distanc
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

The force, exerted by Big Ben on the Empire State Building is 2.66972 × 10⁻⁷ N

Explanation:

The question relates to the force of gravity experienced between two bodies

The given parameters are;

The mass of Big Ben, M₁ = 1 × 10⁸ kg

The mass of the Empire State Building, M₂ = 1 × 10⁹ kg

The distance between the two Big Ben and the Empire State Building, r = 5,000,000 meters

By Newton's Law of gravitation, we have;

F=G \times \dfrac{M_{1} \times M_{2}}{r^{2}}

Where;

F = The force exerted by Big Ben on the Empire State Building and vice versa

G = The universal gravitational constant = 6.67430 × 10⁻¹¹ N·m²/kg²

M₁, M₂, and r are the given parameters

By plugging in the values of the parameters and the constant into the equation for Newton's Law of gravitation, we have;

F=6.67430 \times 10^{-11} \times \dfrac{1 \times 10^8 \times 1 \times 10^9}{(5,000,000)^{2}} = 2.66972 \times 10^{-7}

The force, 'F', exerted by Big Ben on the Empire State Building is F = 2.66972 × 10⁻⁷ N.

You have a spring-loaded air rifle. When it is loaded, the spring is compressed 0.3 m and has a spring constant of 150 N/m. In j
Feliz [49]

The potential energy of the spring is 6.75 J

The elastic potential energy stored in the spring is given by the equation:

E= \frac{1}{2} kx^2

where;

k is the spring constant

x is the compression/stretching of the string

In this problem, we have the spring as follows:

k = 150 N/m is the spring constant

x = 0.3 m is the compression

Substituting in the equation, we get

E=\frac{1}{2} (150) (0.3)^2

E=6.75J

Therefore. the elastic potential energy stored in the spring is 6.75J .

How did people studying lunar eclipses learn that Earth is round?
qwelly [4]

Answer:

Scientists have studied eclipses since ancient times. Aristotle observed that the Earth's shadow has a circular shape as it moves across the moon. He posited that this must mean the Earth was round. Another Greek astronomer named Aristarchus used a lunar eclipse to estimate the distance of the Moon and Sun from Earth
