67.8 turns needed by the secondary coil to run the bulb.

<u>Explanation</u>:

We know that,  

\text { Electric power }(p)=\frac{V^{2}}{R}

\text { Hence, } \frac{P_{1}}{P_{2}}=\frac{V_{1}^{2} / R}{V_{2}^{2} / R}

\frac{P_{1}}{P_{2}}=\frac{V_{1}^{2}}{V_{2}^{2}}

For calculating number of turns

\frac{N_{P}}{N_{S}}=\frac{V_{P}}{V_{S}}

Given that,

80 \mathrm{W}\left(P_{1}\right) \text { bulb with voltage } 120 \mathrm{V}\left(V_{1}\right) \text { is connected to a transformer. }

\text { The source voltage of a transformer is }\left(V_{P}\right) \text { is } 65 \mathrm{V}

\text { The number of turns in primary winding of transformer is }\left(N_{P}\right) \text { is } 30 .

We need to find the number of turns in the secondary winding \left(N_{S}\right) to run the bulb at 120W \left(P_{2}\right)

Firstly find the secondary voltage in the transformer use, \frac{P_{1}}{P_{2}}=\frac{V_{1}^{2}}{V_{2}^{2}}

\frac{80}{120}=\frac{120^{2}}{V_{2}^{2}}

V_{2}^{2}=\frac{120^{2} \times 120}{80}

V_{2}^{2}=\frac{1728000}{80}

V_{2}^{2}=21600

V_{2}=\sqrt{21600}

V_{2}=146.9 \mathrm{V}=V_{S}

Now, finding the number of turns in secondary coil. Use, \frac{N_{P}}{N_{S}}=\frac{V_{P}}{V_{S}}

\frac{30}{N_{S}}=\frac{65}{146.9}

N_{S}=\frac{30 \times 146.9}{65}

N_{S}=\frac{4407}{65}N_{S}=67.8

The number of turns in the secondary winding are 67.8 turns.

A bystander observes the musicians heading toward each other. When musician #1 is 100 m away, the intensity is 1.24 x 10-8 W/m^2
777dan777 [17]

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance 1, r = 100 m

Intensity, I_1=1.24\times 10^{-8}\ W/m^2

If distance 2, r' = 25 m

We need to find the intensity and the intensity level at 25 meters. Intensity and a distance r is given by :

I=\dfrac{P}{4\pi r^2}.........(1)

Let I' is the intensity at r'. So,

I'=\dfrac{P}{4\pi r'^2}............(2)

From equation (1) and (2) :

I'=\dfrac{Ir}{r'^2}

I'=\dfrac{1.24\times 10^{-8}\times 100}{25^2}

I'=1.98\times 10^{-9}\ W/m^2

Intensity level is given by :

dB=10\ log(\dfrac{I'}{I_o}), I_o=10^{-12}\ W/m^2

dB=10\ log(\dfrac{1.98\times 10^{-9}}{10^{-12}})

dB = 32.96 dB

Hence, this is the required solution.

Nutka1998 [239]

Astronomers thought that a nova was a new star, appearing for the first time in the heavens, today we know that it is as a binary star system.

<h3>What is the binary star system about?</h3>

A binary star system is known to be one where one star is known to be called a white dwarf and there is a mass that is said to be transferred to it

A binary star is known to be a kind of a system that is composed of two stars that are known to be gravitationally held together to and in orbit near each other.

Note that Binary stars in the night sky are ones that are often seen as a single object and thus Astronomers thought that a nova was a new star, appearing for the first time in the heavens, today we know that it is as a binary star system.

Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

If the mass of B is m and the temperature change is the same, the mass of B will be 2m.

Explanation:

Q = mcT

T = mc/Q

M = 4Q/2cT........... (1)

T = Q/mc

Plug this in equation 1.

M = 4Q/(2c × Q/mc)  = 4Q ÷ 2Q/m  = 4Q × m/2Q = 2m

When a cannon is fired, how does the size of the force of the cannon on the cannonball compared with the force of the cannonball
kati45 [8]
The force applied to the cannonball and cannon is equal. The explosion inside the cannon will generate a pressure which will turn into a force on both cannonball and cannon. The cannon being heavier and fixed to the ground will move a bit, but the cannonball will be thrown away, fired.
