What does the equation n =Pout/Pin mean

2 answers:

7 0

Basically, the variable n is equal to the amount of P out of the system divided by the about of P into the system

n= energy efficiency pout means output and pin means input the reason this would show efficiency is because your output should be greater then your input and because depending on how small your number is after your division will tell you how efficient it is you want a big number.

svetlana [45]

Answer:

(A) FM Radio had a somewhat shorter ranger than AM radio, but better sound quality.

Explanation:

FM Radio was invented in 1933 by Edwin Armstrong who was an American engineer. FM stands for frequency modulation and AM stands for Amplitude Modulation.

FM is used for most broadcasts of music and FM radio stations use a very high-frequency range of radio frequencies.

In FM Radio, the sound is transmitted through changes in frequency. Both FM and AM radio signals experience frequent change in amplitude, they are far less noticeable on FM.

When switching between stations, FM antenna is alternating between different frequencies, and not amplitudes and this produces a much clearer sound and allows for smoother transitions with little to no audible static.

FM signals can be interfered by barriers and this could affect the signal strength. FM Radio signals are more clearer in a mountainous area that has no barrier.

AM radio was able to carry signals farther than AM radio.

The first law of thermodynamics can be given as ________.

MrRa [10]

The first law of thermodynamics can be written as
$\Delta U = Q-W$
where
$\Delta U$ is the variation of internal energy of the system
$Q$ is the amount of heat absorbed by the system
$W$ is the work done by the system on the surrounding.

Using this form, the sign convention for Q and W becomes:
Q > 0 --> heat absorbed by the system (because it increases the internal energy)
Q < 0 --> heat released by the system (because it decreases the internal energy)
W > 0 --> work done by the system (for instance, an expansion: when the system expands, it does work on the surrounding, and so the internal energy decreases, this is why there is a negative sign in the formula Q-W)
W < 0 --> work done by the surrounding on the system (for instance, a compression: when the system is compressed, the surrounding is doing work on the system, and so the internal energy of the system increases)

A point charge is placed at each corner of square with side leanth a. The charges all have same magnitude q. My question, What i

nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

E = k q / a² (1.3535) (- i ^ + j ^)

E = k q / a² 1.914 , θ’= 135

Explanation:

For this exercise we will use Newton's second law where we must add as vectors

E_total = E₁₂ i ^ + E₁₄ j ^ + E₁₃

Let's look for the value of each term

On the x axis

E₁₂ = k q / a²

On the y axis

E₁₄ = k q / a²

For the charge in the opposite corner we look for the distance

d = √ (a² + a²) = a √2

let's look for the field

E₁₃ = k q / d²

E₁₃ = k q / 2a²

let's use trigonometry to find the two components of this field

cos 45 = E₁₃ₓ / E₁₃

E₁₃ₓ = E₁₃ cos 45

sin 45 = E_{13y} / E₁₃

E_{13y} = E₁₃ sin 45

E₁₃ₓ = k q / 2a² cos 45

E_{13y} = k q / 2a² sin 45

let's find each component of the electric field

X axis

Eₓ = -E₁₂ - E₁₃ₓ

Eₓ = - k q / a² - k q / 2a² cos 45

Eₓ = - k q / a² (1 + cos 45/2)

cos 45 = sin 45 = 0.707

Eₓ = - k q / a² (1 + 0.707 / 2)

Eₓ = - k q / a² (1.3535)

Y axis

E_y = E₁₄ + E_{13y}

E_y = k q / a² + k q / 2a² sin 45

E_y = k q / a² (1 + sin 45/2)

E_y = k q / a² (1.3535)

we can give the results in two ways

E = k q / a² (1.3535) (- i ^ + j ^)

In modulus and angle form, let's use Pythagoras' theorem for the angle

E = √ (Eₓ² + E_y²)

E = k q / a² 1.3535 √2

E = k q / a² 1.914

we use trigonometry for the angle

tan θ = E_y / Eₓ

θ = tan⁻¹ (E_y / Eₓ)

θ = tan⁻¹ (1 / -1)

θ = 45

in the third quadrant, if we measure the angle of the positive side of the x-axis

θ‘= 90 + 45

θ’= 135

The maximum energy a bone can absorb without breaking is surprisingly small. For a healthy human of mass 60 kg60 kg, experimenta

netineya [11]

Answer:

the maximum height a man can jump from and land rigidly upright on both feet without breaking his legs is 0.34 m

Explanation:

Mass of a healthy man = 60 kg

energy the bone can take without breaking = 200 J

If a healthy man jumps from a height 'h', he falls with an energy equal to the potential energy due to his initial height above the ground.

initial potential energy of the healthy man = mgh

where m = mass of the man

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s^2

h = the height above ground

==> PE = 60 x 9.81 x h = 588.6h

If we assume that all energy is absorbed in the leg bones in a rigid landing, then we can safely say that this calculated PE for a healthy man is equal to the energy his bone can absorb in the jump without breaking.

equating, we have

200 = 588.6h

the maximum height a man can jump from without breaking his legs = 200/588.6 = 0.34 m

When people jump from a height, the sudden deceleration to zero can impact a big force on the leg bones, shattering them. If the time spent in decelerating to zero is increased, the overall force on the leg bones is reduced greatly.

Bending the knees gradually on landing from a jump from a height, and then rolling increases the time spent decelerating, and reduces the impact force on the legs due to the landing. If you observe carefully you will see that this is what professional stunts men and acrobats do when they jump from a height.

A mass on a horizontal surface is connected to the spring and pulled to the right along the surface stretching the spring by 25

solniwko [45]

Answer:

320 N/m

Explanation:

From Hooke's law, we deduce that

F=kx where F is applied force, k is spring constant and x is extension or compression of spring

Making k the subject of formula then

$k=\frac {F}{x}$

Conversion

1m equals to 100cm

Xm equals 25 cm

25/100=0.25 m

Substituting 80 N for F and 0.25m for x then

$k=\frac {80}{0.25}=320N/m$

Therefore, the spring constant is equal to 320 N/m
