A transformer is to be used to provide power for a computer disk drive that needs 6.0 V (rms) instead of the 120 V (rms) from th

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

$N_{2}$ =20 turns

Explanation:

The given case is a step down transformer as we need to reduce 120 V to 6 V.

number of turns on primary coil N_{P}= 400

current delivered by secondary coil I_{S}= 500 mA

output voltage = 6 V (rms)

we know that

$I_{p}=\frac{V_{out}}{V_{in}\times I_{s}}$

putting values we get

$I_{p}=\frac{6}{120\times 0.5}$

$I_{p}= 0.1 A$

to calculate number of turns in secondary

$\frac{N_{2}}{400} =\frac{6}{120}$

therefore, $N_{2}$ =20 turns

What was the hikers average velocity during part c of the hike?

Brrunno [24]

Answer:

6 km/h west

Explanation:

During part c of the hike, the hiker moved 6 km west, and the time was 9.45 am to 10.45 am.

So, we have:

- displacement: d = 6 km west

- time taken: from 9.45 am to 10.45 am = 1 hour

Therefore, the average velocity is given by the ratio between displacement and time taken:

$v=\frac{d}{t}=\frac{6 km}{1 h}=6 km/h$

and the direction is the same as the displacement (west)
