To lower the voltage from a "120 V" outlet, what is used (first, at least) in most situations

Physics

4 0

Answer:

B. Transformer

Explanation:

A transformer is a device that is used to either raise or lower voltages and currents in an electrical circuit. In modern electrical distribution systems, transformers are used to boost voltage levels so as to decrease line losses during transmission. It basically trades voltage for current in a circuit, while not affecting the total electrical power. This means it takes high-voltage electricity with a small current and changes it into low-voltage electricity with a large current, or vice versa.

If a wave has a wavelength of 9 meters and a period of 0.006, what is the velocity of the wave?
lana66690 [7]

<u>Answer</u>

D. 1,500 m/s

<u>Explanation</u>

the wave equation states that,

V = λf

Where V ⇒ Velocity

λ ⇒ wavelength

f ⇒ Frequency

F = 1/T

Where T ⇒ period

F = 1/0.006

= 166.667

∴ V = 9 × 166.667

= 1,500 m/s

An object is hanging by a string from the ceiling of an elevator. The elevator is moving upward with a constant speed. What is t
lana [24]

Answer:

Equal to the weight of the object

Explanation:

There are two forces acting on the object hanging on the string:

- The tension in the string, T, acting upward

- The weight of the object, mg, acting downward

We can write Newton's second law as:

T-mg=ma

where a is the acceleration of the object.

Here we are told that the elevator is moving at constant speed: this means that the acceleration of the object is zero, therefore a = 0 and the equation becomes

T=mg

therefore, the tension in the string is equal to the weight of the object.

a piece of clay with mass m is traveling with an unknown velocity in the positive x-direction, when it collides and sticks to a
joja [24]

Answer:

13 m in the + x direction.

Explanation:

Givens

m1 = m

m2 = 3m

v1= ? = x

v2 = - 3 m/s

v3 = v4 = - 1 m/s

Equation

Let x be the speed of the lighter object before collision.

Momentum before collision = momentum after collision

Solution

mx   - 3m * 3m/s = (m1 + m2)*(-1)

m(x - 3*3m/s) = (m + 3m)(-1)

m(x - 9) = - 4m                                      Cancel the ms

x - 9 = 4                                                 Add 9 to both sides

x = 9 + 4

x = 13 m/s
