A gnat takes off from one end of a pencil and flies around erratically for 41.641.6 s before landing on the other end of the sam

e pencil. If the gnat flew a total distance of 6.656.65 m, and the pencil is 0.04630.0463 m long, find the gnat's average speed and the magnitude of the gnat's average velocity.

Answer:

average speed  is 0.159 m/s

average velocity = 0.0011 m/s

Explanation:

given data

time = 41.6 s

total distance = 6.65 m

length = 0.0463 m

to find out

average speed and the magnitude average velocity

solution

we know average speed formula is

average speed = \frac{total distance}{total time}   ...............1

put here value

average speed = \frac{6.65}{41.6}

average speed  is 0.159 m/s

and

average velocity formula is

average velocity = \frac{displacement}{total time}   ...............2

here displacement is initial point to final point and here is 0.0463 m

put here value

average velocity = \frac{0.0463}{41.6}

average velocity = 0.0011 m/s

An American traveler in China carries a transformer to convert China's standard 220 V to 120 V so that she can use some small ap
Arisa [49]

Answer:

(a) The ratio of turns in the primary and secondary coils of her transformer is 1.833

(b) The ratio of input to output current is 0.55

(c) To increase the output voltage, you can either increase the number of turns in the secondary coil (step-up) or increase the input current. Therefore, the Chinese person has to increase the input current of the transformer to achieve an increased output voltage that can power her 220 V appliances.

Explanation:

Given;

input voltage, V_p = 220 V

output voltage, V_s = 120 V

General transformer equation is given as;

\frac{V_p}{V_s} = \frac{N_p}{N_s} = \frac{I_s}{I_p}

where;

Np is number of turns in the primary coil

Ns is number of turns in the secondary coil

Is - is the secondary current or output current

Ip - is the primary current or input current

(a) The ratio of turns in the primary and secondary coils of her transformer;

\frac{N_p}{N_s} = \frac{V_p}{V_s} \\\\\frac{N_p}{N_s} = \frac{220}{120} = 1.833

(b) The ratio of input to output current;

\frac{I_p}{I_s} = \frac{V_s}{V_p} \\\\\frac{I_p}{I_s} = \frac{120}{220} \\\\\frac{I_p}{I_s} = 0.55

(c) To increase the output voltage, you can either increase the number of turns in the secondary coil (step-up) or increase the input current. Therefore, the Chinese person has to increase the input current of the transformer to achieve an increased output voltage that can power her 220 V appliances.

Name the two spectral windows through which electromagnetic radiation easily reaches the surface of earth and describe the large
Anestetic [448]

Answer: • Visible Light, Radio Waves

• Radio - 305-m , at Arecibo, Puerto Rico

Visible Light - 10.4m Mirror, Canary Island

Explanation:

The spectral window is simply the range of frequencies that are correctly measured. It should be noted that the signals that are outside the spectral window are folded when they show up in spectrum.

The two spectral windows through which electromagnetic radiation easily reaches the surface of earth are the visible light and the radio waves.

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer: 12Mg/h

Explanation:

Let the spring is compressed by a distance x,before the lift stops,then

Mg(h+x)= 1/2 kx^2 ............... 1

Kx - Mg = M ( 5g ) ............ 2

Make x the subject in equation 2

Kx = 5Mg + Mg

Kx = 6Mg

x = 6Mg/k ............ 3

Put equation 3 into 1

Mg ( h + x ) = 1/2 kx^2

Mgh + Mgx = 1/2kx^2

Mgh + Mg × 6Mg/k = 1/2k × ( 6Mg/k )^2

Mgh + Mg× 6Mg/k = 1/2k 36M^2g^2/ k^2

h =18Mg/k - 6Mg/h

K = 12Mg/h

Which illustration represent the substance at a higher temperature? Explain.
mamaluj [8]

The addition of heat energy to a system always causes the temperature of that system to increase. This is always true because you are adding heat of a substance to increase  its temperature. For example, you are going to drink a cup of coffee. And you wanted it hot to boost your attention. So you have to use hot water. In order for your water to become hot or warm, you need boil it in a kettle. Note that you are going to use an electric stove. The electric stove gets it energy from the source giving it a hotter temperature to the water in the kettle. You are applying heat energy to warm the water. So, the statement is true.
