The rechargeable batteries for a laptop computer need a much smaller voltage than what a wall socket provides. Therefore, a tran

sformer is plugged into the wall socket and produces the necessary voltage for charging the batteries. The batteries are rated at 9.0 V, and a current of 268 mA is used to charge them. The wall socket provides a voltage of 120 V. (a) Determine the turns ratio of the transformer. (b) What is the current coming from the wall socket? (c) Find the average power delivered by the wall socket and the average power sent to the batteries.

Answer:

(a) 0.075

(b)20.1 mA

(c) 2.412 W

Explanation:

Vs = 9 V, is = 268 mA = 0.268 A

Vp = 120 V

(a) Let the number of turns in primary coil is Np and the number of turns in secondary coil of the transformer is Ns.

Ns / np = Vs / Vp

Ns / Np = 9 / 120

Ns / Np = 3 : 40 = 0.075

(b) Let the current drawn from the wall socket is ip.

Ns/ Np = ip / is

0.075 = ip / 0.268

ip = 0.0201 A = 20.1 mA

(c) Power delivered by the socket = Vp x ip = 120 x 0.0201 = 2.412 W

Power sent to the batteries = Vs x is = 9 x 0.268 = 2.412 W

What is true about the velocity of sound waves in solids compared to air?
ivolga24 [154]
<h2>The correct option is (A)</h2>

Explanation:

Travels faster in solids because the particles are closer together.

The reason for the above statement is -

(i) Sound waves travel through the medium (solid, Liquid, and gas), more denser is the medium more is the speed of sound.

(ii) In solid, the particles are arranged very closely and tightly packed therefore the sound waves in solid have the fastest speed or travels fastest in comparison to liquid and gas.

(iii) Slower than solid is the travel of sound waves in liquid than in gas(least dense, particles are far apart.

What is the best definition for work?
olga55 [171]

Work is done when a force is in the same direction as the object moves.

Explanation:

The work done by a force in moving an object is given by the equation

W=Fd cos \theta

where

F is the magnitude of the force

d is the displacement of the object

\theta is the angle between the directions of F and d

From the equation, we notice the following:

  • Work is done by a force when the force is in the same direction as the object moves. In fact, in this case, \theta=0^{\circ}, and so cos \theta = 1, which means that the work done simply becomes W=Fd
  • When the force is perpendicular to the motion of the object, \theta=90^{\circ} and cos \theta = 0, which means that no work done
  • Technically, work is also done when the force is not parallel to the motion of the object: in this case, the factor cos \theta means that only the component of the force parallel to the direction of motion contributes to do work on the object.

Therefore, the correct answer is

Work is done when a force is in the same direction as the object moves.

A jar of tea is placed in sunlight until it
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

m = 4.44 [g]

Explanation:

This is a problem related to heat transfer and thermodynamics. The second law of thermodynamics tells us that heat goes in only one direction, from the highest temperature substance to the lowest temperature. In this case the heat goes from tea to ice. The heat transfer process could be defined as the heat rejection of one body will be equal to the Heat received by another body.

Q_{out}=Q_{in}\\Q_{out}=m*cp*(T_{f}-T_{i})

Where:

m = mass = 177[g] = 0.177[kg]

Cp = specific heat = 4186 [J/kg*C]

T_f = 29.1 [°C]

Ti = 31.1 [°C]

Q = 0.177*4186*(29.1 - 31.1)

Q = - 1481.8 [J]

Note: The negative sign means that the heat is rejected.

Recall that the heat rejected is equal to the heat transferred

As the ice is going through a phase change, the fusion latent heat should be used, i.e. when it passes from solid to liquid. The heat transfer for this process is calculated with the following expression.

Qin = m *hf

m = mass of the ice [kg]

hf = Fusion latent heat = 333700 [J/kg]

1481.8 = m * 333700

m = 0.00444 [kg] = 4.44 [g]

Determine the critical crack length for a through crack contained within a thick plate of 7150-T651 aluminum alloy that is in un
Mila [183]

Explanation:

Formula to determine the critical crack is as follows.

          K_{IC} = \gamma \sigma_{f} \sqrt{\pi \times a}

  \gamma = 1,     K_{IC} = 24.1

  [/tex]\sigma_{y}[/tex] = 570

and,   \sigma_{f} = 570 \times \frac{3}{4}

                       = 427.5

Hence, we will calculate the critical crack length as follows.

      a = \frac{1}{\pi} \times (\frac{K_{IC}}{\sigma_{f}})^{2}

        = \frac{1}{3.14} \times (\frac{24.1}{427.5})^{2}

       = 10.13 \times 10^{-4}

Therefore, largest size is as follows.

            Largest size = 2a

                                 = 2 \times 10.13 \times 10^{-4}

                                 = 20.26 \times 10^{-4}

Thus, we can conclude that the critical crack length for a through crack contained within the given plate is 20.26 \times 10^{-4}.
