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

Every year _______ species go extinct.<br> a. 3<br> b. 72<br> c. 1000<br> d. 20000
Tems11 [23]
Well, the thing is: we don't really know, as we don't even know how many species there are on earth.

If we take a look at the estimates of <span>World Wide Fund for Nature, an organization that works toward combating species extinction, their estimates vary from 200 to 100 000 - but a probable number is 20 000 (d). </span>

A person is standing on and facing the front of a stationary skateboard while holding a construction brick. The mass of the pers
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

0.74 m/s

Explanation:

From the question,

We apply the law of conservation of momentum,

Total momentum before collision = Total momentum after collision.

Since the skateboard, the person and the brick where stationary, therefore, the total momentum before collision is 0

0 = Total momentum after collision

(m+M)V + m'v = 0

Where m = mass of the  skateboard, M = mass of the person, m' = mass of the brick, V = recoil velocity of the person and the skateboard, v =  velocity of the brick

make V the subject of the equation above

V = -m'v/(m+M)................... Equation 1

Given: m = 4.10 kg, M = 68.0 kg, m' = 2.50 kg, v = 21.0 m/s.

Substitute these values into equation 1

V = -(2.5×21)/(68+2.5)

V = 52.50/70.5

V = 0.74 m/s

Which of the following is not a form of an inclined plane?
disa [49]

Answer: piece of paper cut into a triangle  

Explanation:

A plane surface lifted at an angle to horizontal from one edge is said to be an inclined plane. A wedge, a ramp or a screw are examples of a forms of inclined plane. A screw is like a inclined plane wound on a cylinder. These are simple machines. On the other hand, a piece of paper cut into a triangle is not an inclined plane as it does rise at an angle from horizontal. It is not a machine.
