Newton's 2nd law of motion:

F = ma

F is force, m is mass, and a is acceleration.

What is the relationship between electric motors, generators, and transformers?

KengaRu [80]

Answer:

A generator turns rotary motion into electricity. It is basically the inverse of a motor. Generally a transformer changes one voltage into another based on the number of conductor windings on each side. There are two sets of windings called the “primary” and the “secondary”.

A gas, behaving ideally, has a pressure P1 and at a volume V1. The pressure of the gas is changed to P2. Using Avogadro’s, Charl

Bond [772]

Answer:

Boyle's Law

$\therefore P_1.V_1=P_2.V_2$

Explanation:

Given that:

initially:

pressure of gas, $= P_1$

volume of gas, $= V_1$

finally:

pressure of gas, $= P_2$

volume of gas, $= V_2$

To solve for final volume $V_2$

According to Avogadro’s law the volume of an ideal gas is directly proportional to the no. of moles of the gas under a constant temperature and pressure.

According to the Charles' law, at constant pressure the volume of a given mass of an ideal gas is directly proportional to its temperature.

But here we have a change in the pressure of the Gas so we cannot apply Avogadro’s law and Charles' law.

Here nothing is said about the temperature, so we consider the Boyle's Law which states that at constant temperature the volume of a given mass of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to its pressure.

Mathematically:

$P_1\propto \frac{1}{V_1}$

$\Rightarrow P_1.V_1=k\ \rm(constant)$

$\therefore P_1.V_1=P_2.V_2$

Aneli [31]

Answer:

–77867 m/s/s.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial velocity (u) = 34.5 m/s

Final velocity (v) = –23.9 m/s

Time (t) = 0.00075 s

Acceleration (a) =?

Acceleration is simply defined as the rate of change of velocity with time. Mathematically, it is expressed as:

Acceleration = (final velocity – Initial velocity) /time

a = (v – u) / t

With the above formula, we can obtain acceleration of the ball as follow:

Initial velocity (u) = 34.5 m/s

Final velocity (v) = –23.9 m/s

Time (t) = 0.00075 s

Acceleration (a) =?

a = (v – u) / t

a = (–23.9 – 34.5) / 0.00075

a = –58.4 / 0.00075

a = –77867 m/s/s

Thus, the acceleration of the ball is –77867 m/s/s.
