Answer:

B) Water is a solvent

Explanation:

Among many other chemicals, water can dissolve a variety of substances. The solvent properties of chemicals are far beyond it. That property makes water a universal solvent.

Water has one atom of oxygen and two atoms of hydrogen.

One side of the water molecule is positively charged and the other side is negatively charged. This property attracts other substances like salt and disintegrates into positive and negatively charged ions. This property is due to its physical and chemical nature.

Two cars A and B are 100m apart moving towards each other with

maxonik [38]

Let car A's starting position be the origin, so that its position at time t is

A: x = (40 m/s) t

and car B has position at time t of

B: x = 100 m - (60 m/s) t

They meet when their positions are equal:

(40 m/s) t = 100 m - (60 m/s) t

(100 m/s) t = 100 m

t = (100 m) / (100 m/s) = 1 s

so the cars meet 1 second after they start moving.

They are 100 m apart when the difference in their positions is equal to 100 m:

(40 m/s) t - (100 m - (60 m/s) t) = 100 m

(subtract car B's position from car A's position because we take car A's direction to be positive)

(100 m/s) t = 200 m

t = (200 m) / (100 m/s) = 2 s

so the cars are 100 m apart after 2 seconds.

1. A step-up transformer increases 15.7V to 110V. What is the current in the secondary as compared to the primary? Assume 100 pe

Serjik [45]

1. $I_2 = 0.14 I_1$

Explanation:

We have:

$V_1 = 15.7 V$ voltage in the primary coil

$V_2 = 110 V$ voltage in the secondary coil

The efficiency of the transformer is 100%: this means that the power in the primary coil and in the secondary coil are equal

$P_1 = P_2\\V_1 I_1 = V_2 I_2$

where I1 and I2 are the currents in the two coils. Re-arranging the equation, we find

$\frac{I_2}{I_1}=\frac{V_1}{V_2}=\frac{15.7 V}{110 V}=0.14$

which means that the current in the secondary coil is 14% of the value of the current in the primary coil.

2. 5.7 V

We can solve the problem by using the transformer equation:

$\frac{N_p}{N_s}=\frac{V_p}{V_s}$

where:

Np = 400 is the number of turns in the primary coil

Ns = 19 is the number of turns in the secondary coil

Vp = 120 V is the voltage in the primary coil

Vs = ? is the voltage in the secondary coil

Re-arranging the formula and substituting the numbers, we find:

$V_s = V_p \frac{N_s}{N_p}=(120 V)\frac{19}{400}=5.7 V$
