Answer:

1.99 parsecs.

Explanation:

We have been given that the most recently discovered system close to Earth is a pair of brown dwarfs known as Luhman 16. It has a distance of 6.5 light-years.

We know that one light year equals to 0.306601 parsecs. To convert 6.5 light-years to parsecs, we will multiply 0.306601 by 6.5.

6.5\text{ Light-years}=6.5\times 0.306601\text{ Parsecs}

6.5\text{ Light-years}=1.9929065\text{ Parsecs}

6.5\text{ Light-years}\approx 1.99\text{ Parsecs}

Therefore, Luhman 16 is approximately 1.99 parsecs away from the Earth.

In the standing waves experiment, the string has a mass of 31.2 g and a length of 0.7 m. The string is connected to a mechanical
mestny [16]

Answer:

linear density of the string = 4.46 × 10⁻⁴ kg/m

Explanation:

given,

mass of the string = 31.2 g

length of string = 0.7 m

linear density of the string = \dfrac{mass\ of\ string}{length}

linear density of the string = \dfrac{31.2\times 10^{-3}\ kg}{0.7\ m}

linear density of the string = 44.57 × 10⁻³ kg/m

linear density of the string = 4.46 × 10⁻⁴ kg/m

An automobile rounds a curve of radius 50.0 m on a flat road.
bixtya [17]

Answer:

14m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Radius of the curve  = 50m

Centripetal acceleration  = 3.92m/s²

Unknown:

Speed needed to keep the car on the curve = ?

Solution:

The centripetal acceleration is the inwardly directly acceleration needed to keep a body along a curved path.

 It is given as;

      a = \frac{v^{2} }{r}  

a is the centripetal acceleration

v is the speed

r is the radius

  Now insert the parameters and find v;

         v²   = ar

        v² = 3.92 x 50  = 196

         v  = √196 = 14m/s

A transformer has 18 turns of wire in its primary coil and 90 turns in its secondary coil. An alternating voltage with an effect
Fantom [35]

Answer:

I_s=5.8A

Explanation:

Not considering any type of losses in the transformer, the input power in the primary is equal to the output power in the secondary:

P_p=P_s

So:

V_p*I_p=V_s*I_s

Where:

V_p=Voltage\hspace{3}in\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}primary\hspace{3}coil\\V_s=Voltage\hspace{3}in\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}secondary\hspace{3}coil\\I_p=Current\hspace{3}in\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}primary\hspace{3}coil\\I_s=Current\hspace{3}in\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}secondary\hspace{3}coil

Solving for I_s

I_s=\frac{V_p*I_p}{V_s}

Replacing the data provided:

I_s=\frac{110*29}{550} =5.8A
