It does not hurt when an empty hangs lightly against a wall because the wall applies an
equal and opposite reaction force on you. In this case, Newton's third law is applicable.
Our hand hurts, when we are carrying a heavy load. This is because; the downward force acts or
our hand. This downward force depends on the weight of load. In this case, Newton's second law
is applicable.

A device for increasing or decreasing voltage through electromagnetic induction.
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

O  Transformer

Explanation:

A transformer is a device for increasing or decreasing voltage through electromagnetic induction. It is very used in power transmission where alternating currents can be stepped up or down for house hold usage.

  • Electromagnetic induction is the process of generating current through magnetic fields.
  • It is made up of primary and secondary coils which helps to change voltage in the presence of magnetic filed at the core.
  • A transformer can either be a step up or step down device.

Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

0.10013 atm

Explanation:

Applying Boyle's Law,

P'V' = PV................... Equation 1

Where P' = Initial pressure of air, V' = Initial volume of air, P = Final pressure of air, V = Final volume of air.

make P the subject of the equation

P = P'V'/V..................... Equation 2

Given: P' = 0.355 atm, V'  0.110 m³, V = 0.390 m³

Substitute into equation 2

P = 0.355(0.11)/0.39

P = 0.10013 atm.

A man holding a rock sits on a sled that is sliding across a frozen lake (negligible friction) with a speed of 0.480 m/s. The to
SpyIntel [72]
This is a problem of conservation of momentum

Momentum before throwing the rock: m*V = 96.0 kg * 0.480 m/s = 46.08 N*s

A) man throws the rock forward

=>

rock:
m1 = 0.310 kg
V1 = 14.5 m/s, in the same direction of the sled with the man

sled and man:
m2 = 96 kg - 0.310 kg = 95.69 kg
v2 = ?

Conservation of momentum:
momentum before throw = momentum after throw

46.08N*s = 0.310kg*14.5m/s + 95.69kg*v2

=> v2 = [46.08 N*s - 0.310*14.5N*s ] / 95.69 kg = 0.434 m/s

B) man throws the rock backward

this changes the sign of the velocity, v2 = -14.5 m/s

 46.08N*s = - 0.310kg*14.5m/s + 95.69kg*v2

v2 = [46.08 N*s + 0.310*14.5 N*s] / 95.69 k = 0.529 m/s
