blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

(a) The announcer's claim is incorrect because the divers enter at a speed of 20.4 and not 25 m/s as announced

(b) it’s possible for a diver to enter the water with the velocity of 25 m/s if he has initial velocity of 14.4 m/s. The upward initial velocity can’t be physically attained

Explanation:

(a)

To find the final velocity $V_{f}$ for an object traveling distance h taking the initial vertical component of velocity as $V_{i}$ the kinematics equation is written as

$V_{f}^{2}=V_{i}^{2}+2ah$ where a is acceleration

Substituting g for a where g is gravitational force value taken as 9.81

$V_{f}^{2}=V_{i}^{2}+2gh$

Since the initial velocity is zero, we can solve for final velocity by substituting figures, note that 70 ft is 21.3 m for h

$V_{f}=\sqrt {(2gh)}= V_{f}=\sqrt {(2*9.81*21.3)}$ = 20.44275

Therefore, the divers enter with a speed of 20.4 m/s

The announcer's claim is incorrect because the divers enter at a speed of 20.4 and not 25 m/s as announced

(b)

The divers can enter water with a velocity of 25 m/s only if they have some initial velocity. Using the kinematic equation

$V_{f}^{2}=V_{i}^{2}+2gh$

Since we have final velocity of 25 m/s

$V_{i}^{2}=2gh-V_{f}^{2}$

$V_{i}=\sqrt{(V_{f}^{2}-2gh)}$

$V_{i}=\sqrt{(25^{2}-2*9.81*21.3)}$ = 14.390761 m/s

Therefore, it’s possible for a diver to enter the water with the velocity of 25 m/5 if he has initial velocity of 14.4 m/s

In conclusion, the upward initial velocity can’t be physically attained

A transformer has 1000 turns in the primary coil and 100 turns in the secondary coil. If the primary coil is connected to a 120

alexdok [17]

Answer:

12 V, 0.5 A

Explanation:

For the Voltage,

Using,

Vs/Vp = Ns/Np.......................... Equation 1

Where Vs = Voltage in the secondary coil, Vp = Voltage in the primary coil, Ns = number of turn in the secondary coil, Np = number of turns in the primary coil.

Make Vs the subject of the equation

Vs = Vp(Ns/Np)........................ Equation 2

Given: Vp = 120 v, Np = 1000 turns, Ns = 100 turns

Substitute into equation 2

Vs = 120(100/1000)

Vs = 120×0.1

Vs = 12 v

For the current,

Using

Ns/Np = Ip/Is....................... Equation 3

Where Ip = current in the primary coil, Is = current in the secondary coil

make Is the subject of the equation

Is = Ip(Np/Ns).................. Equation 4

Given: Np = 1000 turns, Ns = 100 turns, Ip = 0.05 A

Substitute into equation 4

Is = 0.05(1000/100)

Is = 0.05×10

Is = 0.5 A.

Hence the voltage and the current in the secondary coil is 12 V, 0.5 A
