Transformer

Explanation:

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

tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

$Q_T=63313.5\ J$

Explanation:

Given:

temperature of skin, $T_s=34^{\circ}C$

initial temperature of steam vapour, $T_v=100^{\circ}C$

latent heat of steam, $L=2256\ J.g^{-1}$

mass of steam, $m=25\ g$

specific heat of water, $c=4190\ J.kg^{-1}.K^{-1}=4.19\ J.g^{-1}.K^{-1}$

final temperature, $T_f=34^{\circ}C$

Assuming that no heat is lost in the surrounding.

We know:

$Q=m.c.\Delta T$

Now the total heat given by the steam to form water at the given conditions:

$Q_T=Q_{Lv}+Q_w$ ..............................(1)

where:

$Q_{Lv}=$ latent heat given out by vapour to form water of 100°C

$Q_w=$ heat given by water of 100°C to come at 34°C.

putting respective values in eq. (1)

$Q_T=m(L+c.\Delta T)$

$Q_T=25(2256+4.19\times 66)$

$Q_T=63313.5\ J$

is the heat transferred to the skin.

Lyrx [107]

For the answer to the question above,
There is nothing in the equations to suggest that the string moves in the x direction so D) v_x(x,t)=0.

y(x,t) = A sin(kx-omega t)
d{y(x,t)}/d{x} = A k cos(kx - omega t)

The position of an object in simple harmonic motion is defined by the function y = (0.50 m) sin (πt/2). Determine the maximum sp

Gnoma [55]

The maximum speed of the object under simple harmonic motion is 0.786 m/s.

The given parameters:

Position of the particle, y = 0.5m sin(πt/2)

<h3>Wave equation for simple harmonic motion;</h3>

y = A sin(ωt + Ф)

where;

A is the amplitude = 0.5 m
ω is the angular speed = π/2

The maximum speed of the object is calculated as follows;

$V_{max} = A \omega\\\\V_{max} = 0.5 \times \frac{\pi}{2} = \frac{\pi}{4} \ m/s = 0.786 \ m/s$

Thus, the maximum speed of the object under simple harmonic motion is 0.786 m/s.
