Answer

Greater than.

Static friction is the force that opposes motion between two objects that are not in motion. For the object to move one have to overcome the static friction. This force is usually greater than the force that exist between two surfaces that are in relative motion. This force is called kinetic friction.

For this reason the coefficient of static friction is greater that coefficient of kinetic friction.

The histogram below shows the number of downloads of a song over time.

Allisa [31]

Given data:

It is a graphical display where the data is grouped in to ranges

A diagram consists rectangles, whose area is proportional to frequency of a variable and whose width is equal to the class interval.

It is an accurate representation of the distribution of numerical data.

From Figure:

Each box in the graph (small rectangle box) is assumed to be one download. So, in the graph the time between 8 p.m to 9 p.m, the number of downloads are 8.75 approximately (because the last box is incomplete, therefore 8 complete boxes and 9th is more than half).

So, We conclude that the total number of downloads are approximately 9 in the time span of 8 p.m. to 9 p.m.

A violin string vibrates at 260 Hz when unfingered. At what frequency will it vibrate if it is fingered one fourth of the way do

Advocard [28]

Answer:

346.66 Hz

Explanation:

$l_1$ = Length of string which is unfingered = l

$l_2$ = Length of string which is vibrate when fingered = $l-\dfrac{1}{4}l=\dfrac{3}{4}l$

$f_1$ = Unfingered frequency = 260 Hz

$f_2$ = Fingered frequency

Frequency is inversely proportional to length

$f=\dfrac{1}{l}$

So,

$\dfrac{f_1}{f_2}=\dfrac{l_2}{l_1}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{f_1}{f_2}=\dfrac{\dfrac{3}{4}l}{l}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{f_1}{f_2}=\dfrac{3}{4}\\\Rightarrow f_2=\dfrac{4}{3}f_1\\\Rightarrow f_2=\dfrac{4}{3}260\\\Rightarrow f_2=346.66\ Hz$

The frequency of the fingered string is 346.66 Hz

Suppose we measure the energy stored in some inductor to be E when there is a current I running through it. If I double the curr

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

If I double the current in the inductor, the new total energy will become 4E (option f).

Explanation:

The coil or inductor is a passive component made of an insulated wire that stores energy in the form of a magnetic field due to its form of coiled turns of wire, through a phenomenon called self-induction. In other words, inductors store energy in the form of a magnetic field. The energy stored in the space where there is a magnetic field in the inductor is:

$E=\frac{1}{2} *L*I^{2}$

where E is Energy [J], L is Inductance [H] and I is Current [A].

If you double the current in the inductor, then the new value of the current is I'= 2*I. So replacing the new total energy is:

$E'=\frac{1}{2} *L*I'^{2}=\frac{1}{2} *L*(2*I)^{2}=\frac{1}{2} *L*4*I^{2}=4*\frac{1}{2} *L*I^{2}$

Then:

$E'=4*E$

If I double the current in the inductor, the new total energy will become 4E (option f).

Although X-rays have many benefits, they can be dangerous to human health because they are short wavelength, high frequency, with photons sufficiently energetic to damage DNA molecules.

Transformer is used in rectifier step up and step down voltage?

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

While the use of the type of transformer in a rectifier depends on the voltage requirement or to meet desired operating conditions, a step-down transformer is used mainly to reduce the voltage. It is used to bring the high AC voltage level to a reasonable value or the desired output voltage.
