What does set up transformer do? Set down transform

Physics

guapka [62]4 years ago
3 0
A step-up transformer is used to increase the voltage and reduce the current. The voltage is increased from about 25,000 Volts (V) to 400,000 V causing the current to decrease. Less current means less energy is lost through heating the wire. To keep people safe from these high voltage wires, pylons are used to support transmission lines above the ground.
Before reaching the end user, a step-down transformer, reduces the voltage from the transmission voltage to the safer voltage of 230 V for home use.

A car going 50mph accelerates to pass a truck. five seconds later the car is going 80mph. calculate the acceleration of the car.
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]
Acceleration is the rate of change of the velocity of an object that is moving. This value is a result of all the forces that is acting on an object which is described by Newton's second law of motion. <span>Calculation of such is straightforward, if we are given the final velocity, the initial velocity and the total time interval. We can just use the kinematic equations. Fortunately, we are given these values. So, we calculate as follows:
</span>
acceleration = v - v0 / t
acceleration = (80 mph - 50 mph) ( 1 h / 3600) / 5 s
acceleration = 1.67 x 10^-3 m / s^2 

Therefore, the acceleration of the car is 1.67 x 10^-3 m / s.

A spotlight on the ground is shining on a wall 24m away. If a woman 2m tall walks from the spotlight toward the building at a sp
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

\dfrac{dy}{dt}=-0.059\ m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Distance between the spotlight and the wall, y = 24 m

Height of the woman, h = 2 m

The woman walks toward the building at the rate of 0.6 m/s, \dfrac{dx}{dt}=0.6\ m/s

In the attached figure, triangle ABC and MNC are similar. So,

\dfrac{2}{y}=\dfrac{x}{24}............(1)

y=\dfrac{48}{x}

When she is 2 meters from the building. So x = 24-2 = 22 m

y=\dfrac{48}{22}=2.18\ m

Differentiating equation (1) i.e.

xy=48

x.\dfrac{dy}{dt}+y.\dfrac{dx}{dt}=0

22.\dfrac{dy}{dt}+2.18\times 0.6=0

\dfrac{dy}{dt}=-0.059\ m/s

So, her shadow is decreasing at the rate of 0.059 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

A falling object is said to reach a constant velocity (terminal velocity)..
Lana71 [14]
C

Terminal velocity is the maximum velocity attainable by an object as it falls through a fluid (air is the most common example). It occurs when the sum of the drag force (Fd) and the buoyancy is equal to the downward force of gravity (FG) acting on the object.(Wikipedia)
