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

An igneous intrusion whose boundaries lie parallel to the layering in the surrounding country rock is considered to be:
ikadub [295]
<span>...a concordant intrusion. In geology, "concordant" means the same as "sill" -- or, an intrusion that has gotten in between older layers of rock (or even beds of volcanic lava). An intrusion with boundaries parallel to layering in surrounding rocks suggests this, meaning it is considered to be a concordant intrusion.</span>

A 55.0-g sample of hot metal initially at 99.5oC was added to 40.0 g of water in a Styrofoam coffee cup calorimeter. The water a
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

Cp= 0.44 J/g.C

This is heat capacity of metal.

Explanation:

From energy conservation

Heat lost by metal = Heat gain by water +Heat gain by  calorimeter

Because here temperature of metal is high that is why it loose the heat.The temperature of water and  calorimeter is low that is why they gain the heat.

final temperature is T= 30.5 C

We know that sensible heat transfer given as

Q= m Cp ΔT

m=Mass

Cp=Specific heat capacity

ΔT=Temperature difference

By putting the values

55 x Cp ( 99.5 - 30.5) = 40 x 4.184 ( 30.5- 21 ) + 10 x ( 30.5 - 21)

Cp ( 99 .5- 30.5) = 30.65

Cp= 0.44 J/g.C

This is heat capacity of metal.
