Answer:

Efficiency is the percent of work put into a machine by the user (input work) that becomes work done by the machine (output work).

Explanation:

It is a measure of how well a machine reduces friction.

What device increases voltage?

Your answer would be C.

A step-up transformer is a transformer that raises voltage from main to secondary by having more secondary winding turns than primary winding turns.

Hope this helps; have a great day!

Two sinusoidal waves are moving through a medium in the positive x-direction, both having amplitudes of 7.00 cm, a wave number o

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

0.99 m

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Amplitude, A = 7.00cm

Wave number, k = 3.00m^-1

Angular Frequency, ω = 2.50Hz

Period = 6.00 s

Phase, ϕ = π/12 rad

Note: All parameters are the same for both waves except the phase.

Wave 1 has a wave function:

y1(x, t) = Asin(kx - ωt)

y1(x, t) = 7sin(3x - 2.5t)

Wave 2 has a wave function:

y2(x, t) = Asin(kx - ωt + ϕ)

y2(x, t) = 7sin(3x - 2.5t + π/12)

π is in radians.

When Superposition occurs, the new wave is represented by:

y(x, t) = 7sin(3x - 2.5t) + 7sin(3x - 2.5t + π/12)

y(x, t) = 7[sin(3x - 2.5t) + sin(3x - 2.5t + π/12)]

Using trigonometric function:

sin(a) + sin(b) = 2cos[(a - b)/2]sin[(a + b)/2]

Where a = 3x - 2.5t, b = 3x - 2.5t + π/12

We have that:

y(x, t) = (2*7)[cos(π/24)sin(3x - 2.5t + π/24)]

Therefore, when x = 0.53cm and t = 2s,

y(x, t) = (2*7)[cos(π/24)sin{(3*0.53) - (2.5*2)+ π/24}]

y(x, t) = 14 * 0.9914 * 0.0713

y(x, t) = 0.99 m

The height of the resultant wave is 0.99cm

If a car has a momentum of 2.04 x 104 kgm/s and a velocity of 18 m/s, what is its mass?

muminat

Answer:

Mass = 1133.33 kg (Approx.)

Explanation:

Given:

Momentum = 2.04 x 10⁴ kg[m/s]

Velocity = 18 m/s

Find:

Mass

Computation:

Mass = Momentum / Velocity

Mass = [2.04 x 10⁴] / 18

Mass = 1133.33 kg (Approx.)

A 0.12-kg metal rod carrying a current of current 4.1 A glides on two horizontal rails separation 6.3 m apart. If the coefficien

Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

The magnetic field is $B = 8.20 *10^{-3} \ T$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of the metal rod is $m = 0.12 \ kg$

The current on the rod is $I = 4.1 \ A$

The distance of separation(equivalent to length of the rod ) is $L = 6.3 \ m$

The coefficient of kinetic friction is $\mu_k = 0.18$

The kinetic frictional force is $F_k = 0.212 \ N$

The constant speed is $v = 5.1 \ m/s$

Generally the magnetic force on the rod is mathematically represented as

$F = B * I * L$

For the rod to move with a constant velocity the magnetic force must be equal to the kinetic frictional force so

$F_ k = B* I * L$

=> $B = \frac{F_k}{L * I }$

=> $B = \frac{0.212}{ 6.3 * 4.1 }$

=> $B = 8.20 *10^{-3} \ T$
