Answer:

24.8 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

as we know if one sailed north and another east, the angle with respect to the port will be 90 degrees

This means that the distance of each ship to the pier can be the legs of a rectangular triangle

The distance of a ship from the other would be represented by the hypotenuse

h: Hipotenuse

c1: leg 1

c2: leg 2

By Pythagoras we know that the hypotenuse is equal to

h = √(c1^2 + c^2)

if we replace with the values ​​we have left

h = √(18^2 + 17^2)

h = √(324 + 289)

h = √613

h = 24.758

we round a decimal place

h = 24.8

A transformer increases the input voltage from 12V to 12,000V. What is the ratio of the number of wire turns on the primary coil
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

\frac{n_p}{n_s}=\frac{1}{1000}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given voltage of primary coil is V_p=12V

And voltage of secondary coil is V_s=12,000V

A transformer is a device that contains primary and secondary coil. These coils are mounted on soft iron. The change in voltage depends upon the number of turns of primary coil (n_p) and secondary coil (n_s).

Following equation represents the relation between them.

\frac{V_s}{V_p} =\frac{n_s}{n_p}\\\\\frac{12,000}{12}=\frac{n_s}{n_p}\\\\1000=\frac{n_s}{n_p}

Then, ratio of the number of wire turns on the primary coil to the number of turns on the secondary coil is

\frac{n_p}{n_s}=\frac{1}{1000}
