Answer:

The area of the fault where the sudden rupture takes place is called the focus or hypocenter of the earthquake. The point on the Earth's surface directly above the focus is called the epicenter of the earthquake

Consider a transformer. used to recharge rechargeable flashlight batteries, that has 500 turns in its primary coil, 3 turns in i
Rashid [163]

Answer:

<em>a) 0.72 V</em>

<em>b) 19.2 mA</em>

<em>c) 2.304 Watts</em>

Explanation:

A transformer is used to step-up or step-down voltage and current. It uses the principle of electromagnetic induction. When the primary coil is greater than the secondary coil, the it is a step-down transformer, and when the primary coil is less than the secondary coil, the it is a step-up transformer.

number of primary turns = N_{p} = 500 turns

input voltage = V_{p} = 120 V

number of secondary turns = N_{s} = 3 turns

output voltage = V_{s} = ?

using the equation for a transformer

\frac{V_{s} }{V_{p} }  = \frac{N_{s} }{N_{p} }

substituting values, we have

\frac{V_{s} }{120 }  = \frac{3 }{500} }

500V_{p}  = 120*3\\500V_{p} = 360

V_{p} = 360/500 =<em> 0.72 V</em>

<em></em>

b) by law of energy conservation,

I_{P}V_{p} = I_{s}V_{s}

where

I_{p} = input current = ?

I_{s} = output voltage = 3.2 A

V_{s} = output voltage = 0.72 V

V_{p} = input voltage = 120 V

substituting values, we have

120I_{p} = 3.2 x 0.72

120I_{p} = 2.304

I_{p}  = 2.304/120 = 0.0192 A

= <em>19.2 mA</em>

<em></em>

c) power input = I_{p} V_{p}

==> 0.0192 x 120 = <em>2.304 Watts</em>

Usa test prep- Look at the picture below to answer. If u answer correctly i will mark you as brainliest!
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

The greatest concentration of atomic mass is in the nucleus because it is made up of protons and neutrons. The electrons surrounding the nucleus don't have as much mass as protons or neutrons.

Hopefully this helps...

When sitting in the tree the cat has a total of 1375J in its Gravitational potential store. What is the maximum amount of energy
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

1375J

Explanation:

The gravitational potential/potential energy of the at the top of the tree which is the energy by virtue of its position.

P.E = mgh

mass = m

Acceleration due to gravity = g

height = h

At the top of the tree, the value of h (height) is high resulting in the gravitational potential. When the cat lands on the ground, the value of h is zero, the the gravitational potential would be zero and all the potential energy have been converted to other forms of energy.

Therefore, the total gravitational potential store is equal to the maximum amount of energy that can be transferred which is equal to 1375J.
