Answer:

 N_s\approx41667 \hspace{3}lo ops

Explanation:

In an ideal transformer, the ratio of the voltages is proportional to the ratio of the number of turns of the windings. In this way:

\frac{V_p}{V_s} =\frac{N_p}{N_s} \\\\Where:\\\\V_p=Primary\hspace{3} Voltage\\V_s=V_p=Secondary\hspace{3} Voltage\\N_p=Number\hspace{3} of\hspace{3} Primary\hspace{3} Windings\\N_s=Number\hspace{3} of\hspace{3} Secondary\hspace{3} Windings

In this case:

V_p=120V\\V_s=100kV=100000V\\N_p=50

Therefore, using the previous equation and the data provided, let's solve for N_s :

N_s=\frac{N_p V_s}{V_p} =\frac{(50)(100000)}{120} =\frac{125000}{3} \approx41667\hspace{3}loo ps

Hence, the number of loops in the secondary is approximately 41667.

A fugitive tries to hop on a freight train traveling at a constant speed of 5.5 m/s. Just as an empty box car passes him, the fu
stiks02 [169]
Th equations to be used here are the following:

a = (v - v₀)/t
x = v₀t + 0.5at²

The speed of the fugitive is the sum of his own speed plus the speed of the train. Thus, 
v₀ = 0 + 5.5 m/s = 5.5 m/s
v = 8 m/s + 5.5 m/s = 13.5 m/s

a.) We use the first equation to determine time
2.5 m/s² = (13.5 m/s - 5.5 m/s)t
Solving for t,
t = 3.2 seconds

b.) We use the answer in a) and the 2nd equation:

x = (5.5 m/s)(3.2 s) + 0.5(2.5 m/s²)(3.2 s)²
x = 30.4 meters

Help quick<br> p;leaseeeeeeeeeeee its about direction and magnitude
KonstantinChe [14]

Explanation:

The net force of each square is the combination of the forces in each direction. The direction is the... direction the square would go in due to the net force. The magnitude of the net force is how large it is. So if you had a force pushing 2N to the left and 1N to the right, then the net force would be 1N to the left; because the two oppose eachother. If they were going in the same direction, then they'd add to each other. And perpendicular net forces (like one pushing up and another pushing left) can create net forces in diagonal directions.

I'm not going to do all of these for you because they're basically all the same thing and it's good practice for you anyway. But I'll do the first three just so you can get the idea:

1. The net force's magnitude is 4N and it's direction is to the right.

2. The net force's magnitude is 4N and it's direction is to the left.

3. The net force's magnitude is 0N and it has no direction because they are equal forces acting in opposite directions.
