One major advantage of alternating current over direct current is that you can use alternating current with a device known as a

transformer. The reason why alternating current works in transformers but direct current does not is?

transformer makes use of mutual induction for its operation in which change in magnetic field in one coil due to variation of current , induces voltage in the other coil. so changing magnetic field in the primary coil is very much needed for the transformer. Alternating current is a current which varies with time , hence it is suitable to produce changing magnetic field in the primary coil. on the other hand , the direct current remains constant all the time. hence can not produce a changing magnetic field. so DC current is not useful for transformers.

An airplane accelerates from rest down a runway at 3.20 m/s2 for 32.8 seconds until it lifts off the ground. Determine the dista
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

s=1721.344m  ,v=104.96m/s.

Explanation:

using thr equation of motion;

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^{2}

u=0, plane starts from rest,

s=\frac{1}{2}at^{2}

a=3.2m/s^{2}, t=32.8s \\ s=\frac{1}{2}*3.2*32.8^{2}

s=1721.344m

v=u+at

v=0 +3.2*32.8

v=104.96m/s

When the displacement of a mass on a spring is 12 a the half of the amplitude, what fraction of the mechanical energy is kinetic
Sveta_85 [38]
You know that when the displacement is equal to the amplitude (A), the velocity is zero, which implies that the kinetic energy (KE) is zeero, so the total mechanical energy (ME) is the potential energy (PE).

And you know that the potential energy, PE, is [ 1/2 ] k (x^2)

Then, use x = A, to calculate the PE in the point where ME = PE.

ME = PE = [1/2] k (A)^2.

At half of the amplitude, x = A/2 => PE = [ 1/2] k (A/2)^2

=> PE = [1/4] { [1/2]k(A)^2 } = .[1/4] ME

So, if PE is 1/4 of ME, KE is 3/4 of ME.

And the answer is 3/4
