Answer: diode

Explanation: A diode is an electronic device that has the ability to work in 1 direction of electric current.

At forward bias ( when the positive terminal of the diode is connected to the positive terminal of the source and negative terminal to the negative of the source) the diode allows current to flow thus acting as a close switch.

At reverse bias ( when the positive terminal of the diode is connected to the negative terminal of the source and the negative terminal of the diode to the positive terminal of the source) the diode stops question from flowing thus acting like an open circuit or an open switch

The primary coil of a transformer contains 100 turns; the secondary has 200 turns. The primary coil is connected to a size aa ba

tester [92]

Answer:

3 volts

Explanation:

Number of turns in primary coil = $N_{p}$ = 100

Number of turns in secondary coil = $N_{s}$ = 200

Voltage across primary coil = $V_{p}$ = 1.5 volts

Voltage across secondary coil = $V_{s}$ = ?

In a transformer, the ratio of number of turns of primary to secondary coil is equal to the ratio of the respective voltages i.e.

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

Using the given values, we get:

$\frac{100}{200}=\frac{1.5}{V_{s} }\\V_{s}=1.5 \times \frac{200}{100}\\V_{s}=3$

Thus, the voltage measure across secondary coil would be 3 volts

To determine an athlete's body fat, she is weighed first in air and then again while she's completely underwater. it is found th

il63 [147K]

The difference in weight is due to the displacement of water (the buoyancy of water is acting on the athlete thus giving her smaller weight).<span>

The amount of weight displaced or the amount of buoyant force is: </span>

Fb = 690 N - 48 N

Fb = 642 N

From newtons law, F = m*g. Using this formula, we can calculate for the mass of water displaced:

m of water displaced = 642N / 9.8m/s^2

m of water displaced = 65.5 kg

Assuming a water density of 1 kg/L, and using the formula volume = mass/density:

V of water displaced = 65.5kg / 1kg/L = 65.5 L

The volume of water displaced is equal to the volume of athlete. Therefore:

V of athlete = 65.5 L

The mass of athlete can also be calculated using, F = m*g

m of athlete = 690 N/ 9.8m/s^2

m of athlete = 70.41 kg

Knowing the volume and mass of athlete, her average density is therefore:

average density = 70.41 kg / 65.5 L

<span>average density = 1.07 kg/L = 1.07 g/mL</span>

A semi-infinite solid is

Anarel [89]

Answer:

D. infinitely extended in all directions

Explanation:

A semi infinite solid is infinitely extended in every direction. It has a single surface and can extend when heat is applied.

The body of a semi infinite solid is idealised, that is, when there is heat present, it expands in all directions to infinity. It can be used for a thick wall because its shape can be changed when subjected to different levels of heat near its surface.

It is also expands as heat is applied because its thickness is negligible.

This idealized body is used for earth, thick wall, steel piece of any shaped quenched rapidly etc indetermining variation of temperature near its surface & other surface being too far to have any impact on the region in short period of time since heat doesn’t have sufficient time to penetrate deep into body thus thickness can be neglected
