A step-down transformer providing electricity for a residential neighborhood has exactly 2750 turns in its primary. When the pot

ential difference across the primary is 5670 V, the potential difference at the secondary is 240 V. How many turns are in the secondary? Show all work.

Answer:

116

Explanation:

The transformer equation states that:

\frac{V_p}{V_s}=\frac{N_p}{N_s}

where

Vp is the voltage in the primary coil

Vs is the voltage in the secondary coil

Np is the number of turns in the primary coil

Ns is the number of turns in the secondary coil

Here we have:

Vp = 5670 V

Np = 2750

Vs = 240 V

So we can solve the formula to find Ns:

N_s = N_p \frac{V_s}{V_p}=(2750)\frac{240 V}{5670 V}\sim 116

So, the secondary coil has 116 turns.

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

0 < r < r_exterior     B_total = \frac{\mu_o I}{2\pi  r}

r > r_exterior            B_total = 0

Explanation:

The magnetic field created by the wire can be found using Ampere's law

        ∫ B. ds = μ₀ I

bold indicates vectors and the current is inside the selected path

           

outside the inner cable

          B₁ (2π r) = μ₀ I

          B₁ = \frac{\mu_o I}{2\pi  r}

the direction of this field is found by placing the thumb in the direction of the current and the other fingers closed the direction of the magnetic field which is circular in this case.

For the outer shell

for the case   r> r_exterior

         

           B₂ = \frac{\mu_o I}{2\pi  r}

This current is in the opposite direction to the current in wire 1, so the magnetic field has a rotation in the opposite direction

for the case r <r_exterior

in this case all the current is outside the point of interest, consequently not as there is no internal current, the field produced is zero

           B₂ = 0

Now we can find the field created by each part

0 < r < r_exterior

          B_total = B₁

          B_total = \frac{\mu_o I}{2\pi  r}  

r > r_exterior

          B_total = B₁ -B₂

          B_total = 0

An object of mass 1.5 kg rests on a shelf where it has a gravitational potential energy of 7 joules. An object of mass 4.5 kg is
bija089 [108]

Answer:

C. 21 Joules

Explanation:

We apply the formula to calculate the potential energy (Ep):

Ep=m*g*h

Where:

Ep : potential energy in Joules (J)

m :mass in kilograms (kg)

g  acceleration due to gravity  (m/s²)

h: height in meters (m)

Calculation of the height (h)

Ep = m*g*h

7 = (1.5 )*(9.8) *(h )

7 = (14.7) (h )

h = 7 /  (14.7)

h= 0.476 m

Gravitational potential energy of the second object

Ep = m*g*h

Ep = (4.5 )*(9.8) *(0.476 )

Ep = (4.5 )*(9.8) *(0.476 )

Ep = 21 J

A brick lands 10.1 m from the base of a building. If it was given an initial velocity of 8.6 m/s [61º above the horizontal], how
Montano1993 [528]
<h2>Answer: 10.52m</h2><h2 />

First, we have to establish the <u>reference system</u>. Let's assume that the building is on the negative y-axis and that the brick was thrown at the origin (see figure attached).

According to this, the initial velocity V_{o} has two components, because the brick was thrown at an angle \alpha=61\º:

V_{ox}=V_{o}cos\alpha   (1)

V_{ox}=8.6\frac{m}{s}cos(61\º)=4.169\frac{m}{s}  (2)

V_{oy}=V_{o}sin\alpha   (3)

V_{oy}=8.6\frac{m}{s}sin(61\º)=7.521\frac{m}{s}   (4)

As this is a projectile motion, we have two principal equations related:

<h2>In the x-axis: </h2>

X=V_{ox}.t  (5)

Where:

X=10.1m is the distance where the brick landed

t is the time in seconds

If we already know X and V_{ox}, we have to find the time (we will need it for the following equation):

t= \frac{X}{ V_{ox}}  (6)

t=2.42s  (7)

<h2>In the y-axis: </h2>

-y=V_{oy}.t+\frac{1}{2}g.t^{2}   (8)

Where:

y is the height of the building (<u>in this case it has a negative sign because of the reference system we chose)</u>

g=-9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}} is the acceleration due gravity

Substituting the known values, including the time we found on equation (7) in equation (8), we will find the height of the building:

-y=(7.521\frac{m}{s})(2.42s)+\frac{1}{2}(-9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}).(2.42s)^{2}   (9)

-y=-10.52m   (10)

Multiplying by -1 each side of the equation:

y=10.52m >>>>This is the height of the building
