Answer:

Sample Response: High-voltage current enters the primary winding, which induces a magnetic field in the core. The magnetic field induces a current in the secondary winding. The voltage in the secondary winding is lower because it has fewer coils than the primary winding.

Answer:

it lowers the voltage in homes

Explanation:

this is due to safety reasons as a human cant survive power line voltages which are between 150k and 760k and if you plugged anything short of a piece of 1 inch thick wire not counting insulation it would immediately start smoking and burn the cable.

1. A 4000-kg truck traveling with a velocity of 20 m/s due south collides headon with a 1350-kg car traveling with a velocity of
velikii [3]

(a) The momentum of each vehicle prior to collision is 80000 kgm/s for truck and 13500 kgm/s for car.

(b) The size of momentum is 93500 kgm/s and it will be directed towards South.

Explanation:

The mass of the truck moving due south is given as 4000 kg and the speed is 20 m/s. Similarly, the mass of the car moving due north is 1350 kg and the speed is 10 m/s.

(a) Then the momentum of each vehicle can be obtained by the product of mass with their respective speed.

Momentum of truck = Mass * Speed = 4000 * 20 =80000  kgm/s

Similarly, the momentum of car will be

Momentum of car = 1350 * 10 = 13500 kgm/s

So, the momentum of each vehicle prior to collision is 80000 kgm/s for truck and 13500 kgm/s for car.

(b) Since, after collision, the vehicles stick together, the momentum after collision will be equal to the total momentum of both the vehicles before collision. This is because, it will obey conservation of momentum.

Momentum of vehicles after collision = total momentum before collision

Momentum after collision = 80000+13500 = 93500 kgm/s.

The direction of the vehicles after collision will be towards south as the mass and speed of the truck is greater than car. So the impact or force exerted on the car by the truck will be greater and thus both the vehicles will be directed towards south after collision.

Thus, the size of momentum is 93500 kgm/s and it will be directed towards South.

Recall specific heat of water is 4186 j/kg/C. Find the specific heat of sample.
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

Shown by explanation;

Explanation:

The heat of the sample = mass ×specific heat capacity of the sample × temperature change(∆T)

Assumption;I assume the mass of the samples are : 109g and 192g

∆T= 30.1-21=8.9°c.

The heat of the samples are for 109g are:

0.109 × 4186 × 8.9 =4060.84J

For 0.192g are;

∆T= 67-30.1-=36.9°c

0.192 × 4186×36.9=29656.97J

According to the "Law of Increasing Opportunity Costs," what would be the opportunity cost of a student who is staying up all ni
kodGreya [7K]

C. The opportunity cost of a student who is staying up all night to study for an exam that he has to take in the early morning is sleep or rest.

<h3>What is law of opportunity cost?</h3>

The law of increasing opportunity cost is an economic principle that describes how opportunity costs increase as resources are applied.

As the student gives up his sleep or night rest in the place of his exam preparation, we say that the opportunity cost is the sleep or rest.

Thus, the opportunity cost of a student who is staying up all night to study for an exam that he has to take in the early morning is sleep or rest.

The iron nail’s mass is 16 grams and its temperature drops 650 C when dropped into the water. How much heat energy did the iron
Mice21 [21]

The heat energy transferred by the iron nail is 4680 J

Explanation:

The thermal energy transferred by a substance to another substance is given by the equation

Q=mC\Delta T

where

m is the mass of the substance

C is its specific heat capacity

\Delta T is its change in temperature

For the iron nail in this problem, we have:

m = 16 g

C=0.450 J/g^{\circ}C

\Delta T = -650^{\circ}C

So, the amount of heat energy given off by the nail is

Q=(16)(0.450)(-650)=-4680 J

where the negative sign indicates that the heat is given off.
