In what sense can a transformer be considered an electrical lever? What does it multiply? What does it not multiply?

Physics

Answer:

This is because it steps up or steps down electrical voltage. It multiplies either voltage (if it is a voltage transformer )or current (if it is a current transformer), but it does not multiply electrical power.

Explanation:

A transformer steps up or steps down electrical voltage, by transmitting power at a voltage, V₁ and Current I₁ at one terminal, to a voltage, V₂ and Current I₂ at its other terminals, just like a lever transmits force from one point to another. Since the power transmitted remains the same, (energy per unit time remains constant), I₁V₁ = I₂V₂ ⇒ I₁/I₂ = V₂/V₁ = n (the turns ratio of the transformer). So, the turns ratio will determine if its a step-up or step-down transformer. V₂ = nV₁. So, if V₁ > V₂ it is a step down transformer and if V₁ < V₂ it is a step-up transformer.It multiplies either voltage (if it is a voltage transformer )or current (if it is a current transformer), but it does not multiply electrical power, since P = IV = constant for the transformer.

A 2 kg blue car is moving 6 m/s to the right and collides with a 3 kg red car that is moving 2 m/s to the left. The cars collide
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

Their velocity after the collision is 1.2 m/s, to the right.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the blue car, m₁ = 2 kg

initial velocity of the blue car, u₁ = 6 m/s

mass of the red car, m₂ = 3 kg

initial velocity of the red car, u₂ = 2 m/s

let the blue car moving to the right be in positive direction

also, let the red car moving to the left be in negative direction

Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum for inelastic collision.

m₁u₁ - m₂u₂ = v(m₁ + m₂)

where;

v is their velocity after the collision

(2 x 6) - (3 x 2) = v(2 + 3)

12 - 6 = 5v

6 = 5v

v = 6/5

v = 1.2 m/s, to the right

Therefore, their velocity after the collision is 1.2 m/s, to the right.

Assume that the same amount of current passes through the electromagnets shown. Identify which electromagnet is stronger than th
hodyreva [135]

First electromagnet

Explanation:

The first electromagnet is the strongest and it is stronger than the given electromagnet above.

An electromagnet is a temporary magnet made by passing current through a wire wounded round an iron core or metallic core.

  • When current is passed through, the metal becomes magnetic.
  • The strength of the electromagnet depends on the number of coil round the metal core and also the intensity of current passed through it.
  • The higher the number of coils wounded round the metal core, the stronger the electromagnet that will be produced.
  • Also, the higher the intensity of electricity passed through the wire, the stronger it is.

An 80-kg astronaut becomes separated from his spaceship. He is 15.0 m away from it and at rest relative to it. In an effort to g
9966 [12]

The astronaut will take 300 seconds

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the law of conservation of momentum.

In fact, the total momentum of the astronaut+object system must be conserved.

Initially, they are both at rest, so their total momentum is zero:

p=0

After the astronaut throws the object, their total momentum is:

p=MV+mv

where:

M = 80 kg is the mass of the astronaut

V is the final velocity of the astronaut

m = 500 g = 0.5 kg is the mass of the object

v = 8.0 m/s is the velocity of the object

Since momentum is conserved, we can write

0=MV+mv

And solving for V,

V=-\frac{mv}{M}=-\frac{(0.5)(8.0)}{80}=-0.05 m/s

Which means that he starts moving at 0.05 m/s in the direction opposite to the object.

Now the astronaut needs to cover a distance of

d = 15.0 m

And his speed is

v = 0.05 m/s

Therefore, the time taken is

t=\frac{d}{v}=\frac{15.0}{0.05}=300 s
