Explain how a step-down transformer makes electricity safe for use in homes.

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.

The density of gold is 19.3. G/cm(3). If a nugget of iron pyrite and nugget of gold each have a mass of 50 g, what can you concl

tangare [24]

The pyrite will be bigger, because its density is much lower.

I <em>do</em> know that the gold's volume will be 2.5906 (With a bunch more numbers after it)

50 divided by 19.3 = 2.5906

If a 2kg ball has and initial velocity of

lakkis [162]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 12 \ Newtons }}$

Explanation:

Force is equal to the product of mass and acceleration.

$F=m*a$

We know the mass, but not the acceleration. Therefore, we must calculate it before we can calculate force.

1. Calculate Acceleration

Acceleration is the change in velocity over the change in time.

$a=\frac{V_f-V_i}{t}$

The final velocity is 10 meters per second and the initial velocity is 4 meters per second. The time is 1 second.

$V_f=10 \ m/s \\V_i= 4 \ m/s \\t= 1 \ s$

Substitute the values into the formula.

$a=\frac{10 \ m/s-4 \ m/s }{1 \ s}$

Solve the numerator.

$a=\frac{6 \ m/s}{1 \ s }$

Divide.

$a= 6 \ m/s/s=6 \ m/s^2$

2. Calculate Force

Now we know the acceleration and the mass.

$m= 2 \ kg \\a= 6 \ m/s^2$

Substitute the values into the fore formula.

$F= 2 \ kg * 6 \ m/s^2$

Multiply.

$F= 12 \ kg*m/s^2$

1 kilogram meter per square second is equal to 1 Newton.
Our answer of 12 kg*m/s² is equal to 12 Newtons

$F= 12 \ N$

The force applies to the ball was <u>12 Newtons.</u>

A certain aircraft can fly 612 miles with the wind in 3 hours and travel the same distance against the wind in 6 hours. What is

Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

51 mph

Explanation:

Given: A certain aircraft can fly 612 miles with the wind in 3 hours and travel the same distance against the wind in 6 hours.

Formula: $Speed=\dfrac{Distance}{Time}$

Let speed of aircraft be x mph and speed of wind y mph

Aircraft along wind:

Actual speed of aircraft = x + y

Time taken = 3 hours

Distance = 612 miles

$\therefore x+y=\dfrac{612}{3}$

$x+y=204----------(1)$

Aircraft against wind:

Actual speed of aircraft = x - y

Time taken = 6 hours

Distance = 612 miles

$\therefore x-y=\dfrac{612}{6}$

$x-y=102----------(2)$

By solving equation (1) and equation (2) and we get

x = 153 mph

y = 51 mph

Hence, The speed of wind will be 51 mph
