Answer:

Turns of the primary coil: 500

Current in the primary coil: Ip= 0.01168A

Explanation:

Considering an ideal transformer I can propose the following equations:

        Vp×Ip=Vs×Is

Vp= primary voltaje

Ip= primary current

Vs= secondary voltaje

Is= secondary current

        Np×Vs=Ns×Vp

Np= turns of primary coil

Ns= turns of secondary coil

From these equations I can clear the number of turns of the primary coil:

Np= (Ns×Vp)/Vp = (20×120V)/4.8V = 500 turns

To determine the current in the secondary coil I use the following equation:

Is= (1.4W)/4.8V = 0.292A

Therefore I can determine the current in the primary coil with the following equation:

Ip= (Vs×Is)/Vp = (4.8V×0.292A)/120V = 0.01168A

A makeshift swing is constructed by making a loop in one end of a rope and tying the other end to a tree limb. A child is sittin
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

a) 264.74 N

b) 91.15 N

c) 20.12°

Explanation:

Given:

Angle between the rope and the vertical, θ = 19°

Tension in the rope, T = 280 N

For the system to be in equilibrium,

The net force in vertical as well as in horizontal direction, should be zero

Therefore,

a) For Vertical direction

Weight of the child = vertical component of the tension

W = T cosθ ..............(1)

or

W = 280 cos19° = 264.74 N          ............(a)

b) For horizontal

force on the child, F = T sinθ  .............(2)

or

F = 280 sin19° = 91.15 N

c) Now, on dividing (1) and (2), we have

W/F = Tcosθ/Tsinθ

or

tanθ = F/W

now, for F = 97 N

tanθ = 97/264.74 = 0.3663        (W from (a))

or

θ = tan⁻¹(0.3663)

or

θ = 20.12°

Does potassium have a greater nuclear charge than Chlorine?
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

This is important because in the case of the potassium atom, the outermost electrons will be attracted by the nucleus more. In other words, K+ has bigger effective nuclear charge than Cl− , which translates to a bigger net positive charge felt by the outermost electrons.

The half-life of radium-224 is approximately 3.66 days. Step 1 of 3 : Determine a so that A(t)=A0at describes the amount of radi
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

a = 0.827468

Explanation:

given,

half life of radium-224 = 3.66 days

now,

 A(t) = A_0 a^t

t is the time

A₀ is the amount at t = 0

at t = 0 ,    A(0) = 1

A(3.66) = 1/2

at t = 3.66

A(t) = A_0 a^t

\dfrac{1}{2}= 1. a^{3.66}

taking log both side

3.66 log (a) = log (0.5)

       log a = -0.0822

now,a = 10^{-0.0822}

         a = 0.827468

The presence of which magnetic feature best explains why a magnet can act at a distance on other magnets or on objects containin
Sergeu [11.5K]

The orientation with the largest magnetic torque on the dipole is Orientation B (See attached image).

<h3>What is Magnetic Torque?</h3>

The torque on the dipole is defined as:

τ = µ×B,

where B is the external magnetic field.

The magnitude of this torque is µB sinθ, where θ is the angle between B and µ

Magnetic Torque is highest when;

→     →

µ ⊥ β

That is when θ  = 90°. Hence B is the correct answer. Please see attached image.
