Suppose that a person riding on the top of a freight car shines a searchlight beam in the direction in which the train is travel

ing.

Answer:

same

Explanation:

Acc. to Einstien's postulate of special theory of

Relativity , Velocity of the light beam is same in all frames of references

(a) If the freight car is at rest

The frame we can assumed as Non - inertial frame  of reference s

In the inertial frame of reference , velocity  of the light beam  has its own value as : 3 x 10^8 m/s

(b) If the freight car is moving , the frame we can assumed as  Non -inertial frame of reference    

In thus case also , The velocity of the light beam  will also have  the same value as ; 3 x 108 m/s

13. A transformer has a primary coil with 600 turns and a secondary coil with 300 turns. If the output voltage is 320 volts, wha
vivado [14]
His is a step down transformer since n(primary) is greater than n(seconcary). You relate the input voltage with the ouput voltage with the following equation: 

<span>Vout = n2/n1*Vin (n2/n1 is essentially your 'transfer function' that dictates what a specified input would produce) </span>

<span>Solving the equation: </span>

<span>Vin = Vout*n1/n2 = (320V)*(600/300) = 640 V </span>

<span>This is checked by seeing if Vin is greater than Vout, which it is for a step down transformer.</span>

slava [35]

Answer:

f=-1380N

Explanation:

A karate master wants to break a board by hitting the board swiftly with his hand. The master's hand has a mass of 0.30 kg, and as it strikes the board, his hand has a velocity of 23.3 m/s. The master contacts the board for 0.0050 seconds

.the concluding part to the question should be

What is the impact force (impulse) on the board?

solution

from the Newton's second law of motion which states that

the rate of change in momentum is directly proportional to the force applied

f=m(v-u)/t

f=0.3(0-23.3)/0.005

f=-1380N

f=force impact

m=mass of the karates master's hand

t=time for the impact

v=0m/s final velocity

u=initial velocity
