Why are the coldest places on earth found near the poles

1 answer:

6 0

Polar regions do not receive direct sunlight during the winter months due to the tilt in the Earth's axis. Hence, polar regions can get very cold. Antarctica is the coldest place on Earth. The coldest places on Earth tend to be located near the poles. Hope this answers the question.

an athlete in a hammer-throw event swings a 7.0-kilogram hammer in a horizontal circle at a constant speed of 12 meters per seco

Semenov [28]

Answer:

ac = 72 m/s²

Fc = 504 N

Explanation:

We can find the centripetal acceleration of the hammer by using the following formula:

$a_c = \frac{v^2}{r}$

where,

ac = centripetal acceleration = ?

v = constant speed = 12 m/s

r = radius = 2 m

Therefore,

$a_c = \frac{(12\ m/s)^2}{2\ m}$

ac = 72 m/s²

Now, the centripetal force applied by the athlete on the hammer will be:

$F_c = ma_c\\F_c = (7\ kg)(72\ m/s^2)$

Fc = 504 N

In what sense can a transformer be considered an electrical lever? What does it multiply? What does it not multiply?

liberstina [14]

Answer:

This is because it steps up or steps down electrical voltage. It multiplies either voltage (if it is a voltage transformer )or current (if it is a current transformer), but it does not multiply electrical power.

Explanation:

A transformer steps up or steps down electrical voltage, by transmitting power at a voltage, V₁ and Current I₁ at one terminal, to a voltage, V₂ and Current I₂ at its other terminals, just like a lever transmits force from one point to another. Since the power transmitted remains the same, (energy per unit time remains constant), I₁V₁ = I₂V₂ ⇒ I₁/I₂ = V₂/V₁ = n (the turns ratio of the transformer). So, the turns ratio will determine if its a step-up or step-down transformer. V₂ = nV₁. So, if V₁ > V₂ it is a step down transformer and if V₁ < V₂ it is a step-up transformer.It multiplies either voltage (if it is a voltage transformer )or current (if it is a current transformer), but it does not multiply electrical power, since P = IV = constant for the transformer.
