What factors affect the chemical properties of seawater

1 answer:

3 0

An ocean's salinity is affected by water and air temperature, the volume of water that flows into it, its age and the chemical composition of surrounding geological formations. Because the effect of these factors varies over the area of an ocean, different levels are found within the ocean

A lamp is connected to the power supply.

Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

There are 45 turns in the secondary coil.

Explanation:

Given that,

Input potential of the lamp, $V_{in}=5\ V$

The output potential of the lamp, $V_{out}=1.5\ V$

Number of turns in primary coil, $N_P=150$

We need to find the number of turns needed on the secondary coil. We know that the ratio for a transformer is as follows :

$\dfrac{V_{out}}{V_{in}}=\dfrac{N_s}{N_P}\\\\N_s=\dfrac{V_{out}N_P}{V_{in}}\\\\N_s=\dfrac{1.5\times 150}{5}\\\\N_s=45\$

So, there are 45 turns in the secondary coil.

Power Rating of a Resistor. The power rating of a resistor is the maximum power the resistor can safely dissipate without too gr

IgorLugansk [536]

(a) 273.9 V

The power rating of the resistor is given by

$P=\frac{V^2}{R}$

where

P is the power rating

V is the potential difference across the resistor

R is the resistance

If the maximum power rating is $P=5.0 W$ , and the resistance of the resistor is $R=15 k\Omega = 15000 \Omega$ , then we can find the maximum potential difference across the resistor by re-arranging the previous equation for V:

$V=\sqrt{PR}=\sqrt{(5.0 W)(15000 \Omega)}=273.9 V$

(b) 1.6 W

In this case, we have:

$R=9.0 k\Omega = 9000 \Omega$ is the resistance of the resistor

$V=120 V$ is the potential difference across the resistor

So we can find the power rating by using the same formula of part (a):

$P=\frac{V^2}{R}=\frac{(120 V)^2}{9000 \Omega}=1.6 W$

(c) Maximum voltage: 14.1 V; Rate of heat: 2.00 W and 3.00 W

Here we have two resistors of

$R_1 = 100 \Omega\\R_2 = 150 \Omega$

and each resistor has a power rating of

P = 2.00 W

So the greatest potential difference allowed in the first resistor is

$V=\sqrt{PR_1}=\sqrt{(2.00 W)(100 \Omega)}=14.1 V$

While the greatest potential difference allowed in the second resistor is

$V=\sqrt{PR_2}=\sqrt{(2.00 W)(150 \Omega)}=17.3 V$

So the greatest potential difference allowed not to overheat either of the resistor is 14.1 V.

In this condition, the power dissipated on the first resistor is 2.00 W, while the power dissipated on the second resistor is

$P_2 = \frac{V^2}{R_2}=\frac{(14.1 V)^2}{150 \Omega}=1.33 W$

And this corresponds to the rate of heat generated in the first resistor (2.00 W) and in the second resistor (1.33 W).

Which statement BEST explains why the specific heat of water is higher than the specific heat of most other substances?

solniwko [45]

Due to its polarity and hydrogen bonding water can absorb heat without a significant temperature change.. The high specific heat of water helps regulate the rate at which air changes temperature, which is why the temperature change between seasons is gradual instead of sudden, especially near the oceans.
