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

Five race cars speed toward the finish line at the Jasper County Speedway. The table lists each car’s speed in meters/second. If

nekit [7.7K]

We have: v = d/t
From the expression, we conclude speed is indirectly proportional to speed.
So, the car which will take longer time must have the smallest speed. Among all the options Car C has the smallest speed. So, it would be your answer.

In short, Your Answer would be Option C) Car C will take longer time than any other.

Hope this helps!

Poorly treated municipal wastewater is discharged to a stream. The river flow rate upstream of the discharge point is Qu/s = 8.7

Musya8 [376]

Answer

given,

Q u = 8.7 m³/s

Q d= 0.9 m³/s

BOD concentration = 50 mg/L

a) BOD concentration at the down stream

$C_{down}=\dfrac{0.9\times 50}{8.7+0.9}$

$C_{down}=\dfrac{0.9\times 50}{9.6}$

= 4.69 mg/L

b) discharge = 9.6 m³/s

cross sectional area = 10 m²

velocity steam = $\dfrac{8.7+0.9}{10}$

= 0.96 m/s

time taken to move 50 km down stream = $\dfrac{50 \times 1000}{0.96}$

= 52083.3 s

= $\dfrac{52083.3}{3600\times 24}$

= 0.6 days

now,

$C_t=C_0e^{-kt}$

$C_t=4.6875\ e^{-0.2\times 0.6}$

$C_t = 4.16 mg/L$

Which interaction between x-ray photons and matter results in total absorption of the incident photon?

Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

Photoelectric effect

Explanation:

In the photoelectric effect, when an x-ray strikes on a metal surface, the energy is completely absorbed by the metal. If the energy would be equal to or more than work function of metal, electron ejects out. The kinetic energy of the electron which is ejected depends on the energy of the incident radiation and work function of the metal.

You jump off a truck and accelerate toward the surface of the Earth. Does the Earth accelerate toward you?

Triss [41]

When we jump from the truck and accelerate towards the earth surface, the earth also accelerates towards us but it's acceleration is very negligible.

To find the answer, we need to know about the acceleration of earth due to the gravitational attraction.

<h3>What's the gravitational force between the earth and a person?</h3>
