Answer: Increase or decrease a voltage

Explanation: Transformers are designed <u>for increasing or decreasin</u>g the voltage in an electrical circuit, using the principle of e<em>lectromagnetic induction</em>.

These only work with alternating currents, because this alternating current drifts in the generation of permanent magnetic flux. The arrangement to make this possible consists of a pair of coils with a number of different spirals isolated from each other, and a ferromagnetic material is added to the core to optimize the magnetic flux.  Thanks to the different number of spirals in the coils the increase or decrease of the voltage is achieved.

The voltage transformation follows the following mathematical formula:

\frac{V_{s} }{V_{p} }=\frac{N_{s} }{N_{p} }

Where

[tex]\V_{s} =  Secondary voltage

[tex]\V_{p} = Primary voltage

[tex]\[N_{s} = Secondary number of spirals

[tex]\N_{p} = Primary number of spirals

what is the approximate weight of a 20-kg cannonball on the moon if the acceleration due to gravity is 1.6m/s^2
monitta
On Earth, a cannonball with a mass of 20 kg would weigh 196 Newtons.
With the formula F=mg, where F is the weight in Newtons, m is the mass, and g is the acceleration due to gravity on the Earth which is 9.8m/s^2.
F=20kg x 9.8m/s^2= 196 Newtons

BUT on the moon, acceleration due to gravity is 1.6 m/s^2,
so F=mg=20kgx1.6m/s^2= 32 N

A force of 450 N accelerates a box across a frictionless surface at a rate of 15 m/s 2 . What is the mass of the box? 30 N 30 kg
Elza [17]
Hey there,

Your correct answer would be 30kg.

450 = m × 15 or also 450/15=m.

Hope this helps.
