Answer:

The answer to your question is Nonmetals

Explanation:

Nonmetals they are bad conductors of heat and electricity except graphite.

Metalloids they are less conductors of electricity than metals.

Noble gases they conduct electricity.

Halogens they are not metals and do not conduct electricity.

From this information, we conclude that Oxygen and Selenium are nonmetals.

Consider a transformer. used to recharge rechargeable flashlight batteries, that has 500 turns in its primary coil, 3 turns in i

Rashid [163]

Answer:

a) 0.72 V

b) 19.2 mA

c) 2.304 Watts

Explanation:

A transformer is used to step-up or step-down voltage and current. It uses the principle of electromagnetic induction. When the primary coil is greater than the secondary coil, the it is a step-down transformer, and when the primary coil is less than the secondary coil, the it is a step-up transformer.

number of primary turns = $N_{p}$ = 500 turns

input voltage = $V_{p}$ = 120 V

number of secondary turns = $N_{s}$ = 3 turns

output voltage = $V_{s}$ = ?

using the equation for a transformer

$\frac{V_{s} }{V_{p} } = \frac{N_{s} }{N_{p} }$

substituting values, we have

$\frac{V_{s} }{120 } = \frac{3 }{500} }$

$500V_{p} = 120*3\\500V_{p} = 360$

$V_{p}$ = 360/500 = 0.72 V

b) by law of energy conservation,

$I_{P}V_{p} = I_{s}V_{s}$

where

$I_{p}$ = input current = ?

$I_{s}$ = output voltage = 3.2 A

$V_{s}$ = output voltage = 0.72 V

$V_{p}$ = input voltage = 120 V

substituting values, we have

120 $I_{p}$ = 3.2 x 0.72

120 $I_{p}$ = 2.304

$I_{p}$ = 2.304/120 = 0.0192 A

= 19.2 mA

c) power input = $I_{p} V_{p}$

==> 0.0192 x 120 = 2.304 Watts

A cart loaded with bricks has a total mass of 22.2 kg and is pulled at constant speed by a rope. The rope is inclined at 27.5 ◦

musickatia [10]

Answer:

W = 1.432 KJ

Explanation:

given,

mass = 22.2 Kg

angle of the rope = 27.5°

distance on the ground = 24 m

kinetic friction= μ = 0.32

acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

Work done = ?

W = F d cosθ

a = 0 because it is moving with constant speed

equating all the forces acting in x direction

F cosθ = F friction = μN

equating all the forces acting in y direction

F sinθ + N -mg =0

now,

N = mg - F sinθ

putting value of N

F cosθ = μ mg -μ F sinθ

F (cosθ + μsinθ ) = μ mg

$F = \dfrac{\mu mg}{cos\theta + \mu sin\theta}$

$F = \dfrac{0.32 \times 22.2 \times 9.8}{cos 27.5^0+0.32 \times sin27.5^0}$

F =67.28 N

now,

W=F d cosθ

W =67.28 x 24 x cos(27.5)

W =1432.27 J

W = 1.432 KJ

You drop a rock down a well that is 5.4 m deep. How long does it take the rock to hit the bottom of the well?

Natali5045456 [20]

Equation of motion:

$y_{f}=y_{o}+v_{o}t+ \frac{1}{2} at^{2}$

Since initial velocity is zero, the second term goes away:

$y_{f}=y_{o}+0+ \frac{1}{2} at^{2}$

$y_{f}=y_{o}+\frac{1}{2} at^{2}$

$y_{f}-y_{o}= \frac{1}{2} at^{2}$

$y_{f}-y_{o}=5.4m$

$5.4m= \frac{1}{2} at^{2}$

$\frac{2(5.4m) }{a} = t^{2}$

$a = g = 9.81 \frac{m}{ s^{2}}$

$\frac{2(5.4m) }{9.81 \frac{m}{ s^{2} } } = t^{2}$

$1.1 s^{2} = t^{2}$ $\sqrt{1.1 s^{2}} = \sqrt{t^{2}}$

 $t = 1.05s$
