Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

The power consumed by the air filter is 9.936 watts

Explanation:

It is given that, the secondary coil of a step-up transformer provides the voltage that operates an electrostatic air filter.

Turn ratio of the transformer, $\dfrac{N_s}{N_p}=\dfrac{46}{1}$

Voltage of primary coil, $V_p=120\ V$

Current in the secondary coil, $I_s=1.8\times 10^{-3}\ A$

The power consumed by the air filter is :

$P_s=I_s\times V_s$ ...........(1)

For a transformer, $\dfrac{N_s}{N_p}=\dfrac{V_s}{V_p}$

So, $P_s=I_s\times (\dfrac{N_s}{N_p})\times V_p$

$P_s=1.8\times 10^{-3}\times (\dfrac{46}{1})\times 120$

$P_s=9.936\ Watts$

So, the power consumed by the air filter is 9.936 watts. Hence, this is the required solution.

A concrete block is hung from an ideal spring that has a force constant of 100 N/m . The spring stretches 0.129 m .A- What is th

madam [21]

Answer:

1.31498 kg

0.72050 s

Explanation:

m = Mass of block

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

k = Spring constant = 100 N/M

x = Displacement = 0.129 m

The force balance is

$mg=kx\\\Rightarrow m=\dfrac{kx}{g}\\\Rightarrow m=\dfrac{100\times 0.129}{9.81}\\\Rightarrow m=1.31498\ kg$

The mass of the block is 1.31498 kg

Time period is given by

$T=2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{m}{k}}\\\Rightarrow T=2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{1.31498}{100}}\\\Rightarrow T=0.72050\ s$

The period of oscillations is 0.72050 s

The time period does not depend on the acceleration due to gravity. It varies with the mass and the spring constant.

Hence, the time period would be the same

If the maximum tension in the simulation is 10.0 N, what is the linear mass density (m/L) of the string

vovikov84 [41]

Complete Question

The speed of a transverse wave on a string of length L and mass m under T is given by the formula

$v=\sqrt{\frac{T}{(m/l)}}$

If the maximum tension in the simulation is 10.0 N, what is the linear mass density (m/L) of the string

Answer:

$(m/l)=\frac{10}{V^2}$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Speed of a transverse wave given by

$v=\sqrt{\frac{T}{(m/l)}}$

Maximum Tension is $T=10.0N$

Generally making $(m/l)$ subject from the equation mathematically we have

$v=\sqrt{\frac{T}{(m/l)}}$

$v^2=\frac{T}{(m/l)}$

$(m/l)=\frac{T}{V^2}$

$(m/l)=\frac{10}{V^2}$

Therefore the Linear mass in terms of Velocity is given by

$(m/l)=\frac{10}{V^2}$

Explain why dogs pant during hot summer days using the evaporation concept?

damaskus [11]

All, or almost all, warm-blooded creatures get rid of excess heat by evaporating moisture from their bodies. It's a great system, because evaporation takes a lot of heat. That's the reason people perspire when we're active and build up a lot of heat inside. The evaporation of sweat from our skin carries away heat with it. Dogs do not sweat on their skin. The only place they can evaporate moisture is through their mouth. Panting speeds up the evaporation by blowing air across the moisture.
