Transformer

<u>Explanation:</u>

A transformer is a device with two or more magnetically coupled windings. A time varying current in one coil (primary winding) generates a magnetic field which induces a voltage in the other coil (secondary winding). Transformers are capable of either increasing or decreasing the voltage and current levels of their supply, without modifying its frequency, or the amount of electrical power being transferred from one winding to another via the magnetic circuit. There are two types of transformer:

1. Step up transformer - increases voltage

2. Step down transformer - decreases voltage

A plane is flying east when it drops some supplies to a designated target below. The supplies land after falling for 10 seconds.
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

solution:

As Given plane is flying in east direction.

It throws back some supplies to designated target.

Time taken by the supply to reach the target =10 seconds

g = Acceleration due to gravity = - 9.8 m/s²[Taken negative as object is falling Downwards]

As we have to find distance from the ground to plane which is given by d.

d = \frac{1}{2}\times g\times t^2

 = \frac{1}{2}\times (9.8) \times(100) =50\times 9.8=490 meters

Distance from the ground where supplies has to be land  to plane  =  Option B =490 meters

For a projectile launched horizontally, which of the following best describes the downward component of a projectile's velocity?
Angelina_Jolie [31]

C. The downward component of the projectile's velocity continually increases

Explanation:

The motion of a projectile consists of two independent motions:  

- A uniform motion (with constant velocity) along the horizontal direction  

- A uniformly accelerated motion, with constant acceleration (equal to the acceleration of gravity) in the downward direction  

Here we want to study the downward component of the projectile's velocity. Since the vertical motion is a uniformly accelerated motion, the vertical velocity is given by:

v=u+at

where

u = 0 is the initial vertical velocity (zero since the projectile is fired horizontally)

a=g=9.8 m/s^2 downward is the acceleration of gravity

t is the time

So the equation becomes

v=gt

This means that

C. The downward component of the projectile's velocity continually increases

Because every second, it increases by 9.8 m/s in the downward direction.

An astronaut having mass 320 kg with equipment included is attempting an untethered space walk. The astronaut is initially at re
ExtremeBDS [4]
This can be solved using momentum balance, since momentum is conserved, the momentum at point 1 is equal to the momentum of point 2. momentum = mass x velocity
m1v1 = m2v2
(0.03kg x 900 m/s ) = 320(v2)
v2 = 27 / 320
v2 = 0.084 m/s is the speed of the astronaut
