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

A disk-shaped merry-go-round of radius 2.13 m and mass 175 kg rotates freely with an angular speed of 0.651 rev/s. A 55.4 kg per

GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

Explanation:

To find out the angular velocity of merry-go-round after person jumps on it , we shall apply law of conservation of ANGULAR momentum

I₁ ω₁ + I₂ ω₂ = ( I₁ + I₂ ) ω

I₁ is moment of inertia of disk , I₂ moment of inertia of running person , I is the moment of inertia of disk -man system , ω₁ and ω₂ are angular velocity of disc and man .

I₁ = 1/2 mr²

= .5 x 175 x 2.13²

= 396.97 kgm²

I₂ = m r²

= 55.4 x 2.13²

= 251.34 mgm²

ω₁ = .651 rev /s

= .651 x 2π rad /s

ω₂ = tangential velocity of man / radius of disc

= 3.51 / 2.13

= 1.65 rad/s

I₁ ω₁ + I₂ ω₂ = ( I₁ + I₂ ) ω

396.97 x .651 x 2π + 251.34 x 1.65 = ( 396.97 + 251.34 ) ω

ω = 3.14 rad /s

kinetic energy = 1/2 I ω²

= 3196 J

To pull an old stump out of the ground, you and a friend tie two ropes to the stump. You pull on it with a force of 500 N to the

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

C. less than 950 N.

Explanation:

Given that

Force in north direction F₁ = 500 N

Force in the northwest F₂ = 450 N

Lets take resultant force R

The angle between force = θ

θ = 45°

The resultant force R

$R=\sqrt{F_1^2+F_2^2+2F_1F_2cos\theta}$

$R=\sqrt{500^2+450^2+2\times 450\times 500\times cos\theta}$

R= 877.89 N

Therefore resultant force is less than 950 N.

C. less than 950 N

Note- When these two force will act in the same direction then the resultant force will be 950 N.

In the presence of a dielectric, the capacitance of a electric field inside the plates now is: a) Less b) More c) Same as the el

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

As the dielectric is inserted between the plates of a capacitor, the capacitance becomes K times and the electric field between the plates becomes 1 / K times the original value. Where, K be the dielectric constant.

Atmospheric pressure decreases as altitude increases. in other words, there is more air pushing down on you at sea level, and th

Nutka1998 [239]

At sea level, the size amid the 2 alkanes lets for pentane to simmer at a lower temperature than hexane. Phenol has a higher boiling point due to hydrogen bonding High altitude would have the same order while low pressure only cuts the temperature at which a solvent boils. Boiling has to do with molecular size, the occurrence/nonappearance of hydrogen bonds, and other steric issues.
So the answer would be pentane high altitude, hexane high altitude, hexane sea level, hexanol sea level. In order of boil first to boil last. This is clarified because altitude has a better effect on vapor pressure (and hence boiling points) than inter-molecular forces.
