Answer:

The force needed to slow down the car is, F = 67.5 N

Explanation:

Given data,

The mass of the car, m = 15 kg

The initial velocity of the car, V = 60 m/s

The final velocity of the car, v = 15 m/s

The time period of deceleration, t = 10 s

The difference in the momentum of the car is,

mV - mv = 15(60 - 15)

= 675 kg m/s

The rate of change in momentum of the car gives the force acting on it.

F = (mV - mu) / t

Substituting the values,

F = 675 / 10

= 67.5 N

Hence, the force needed to slow down the car is, F = 67.5 N

The diagram shows a multi-tap transformer. Which pair of terminals would you connect to produce an output voltage of 8 V?

Triss [41]

Answer:

The pair of terminals to produce an output voltage of 8V are K and M.

Explanation:

A transformer is an electronic device that can be used to increase or decrease an output voltage. It consists of secondary and primary coils, and operates on the principle of induction.

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

where: $V_{s}$ is the voltage in the secondary coil, $V_{p}$ is the voltage in the primary coil, $N_{s}$ is the number of turns in the secondary coil and $N_{p}$ is the number of turns in the primary coil.
