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.

What is the initial vertical velocity?
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

Thus, any projectile that has an initial vertical velocity of 21.2 m/s and lands 10.0 m below its starting altitude spends 3.79 s in the air.The initial vertical velocity is the vertical component of the initial velocity: v 0 y = v 0 sin θ 0 = ( 30.0 m / s ) sin 45 ° = 21.2 m / s .

Approximately how many kelvins are equal to 60°f? <br> a. 333 <br> b. 323 <br> c. 413 <br> d. 289
Afina-wow [57]
D. 289
Take the formula:
K=5/9(Fahrenheit-32)+273
Plug in Fahrenheit
K=5/9 (60-32)+273
From here it is simple math and you can plug it into your calculator getting 288.5555556 and round to 289

A tank of volume 0.25 ft is designed to contain 50 standard cubic feet of air. The temperature is 80° F.Calculate the pressure i
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

The inside Pressure of the tank is 4499.12 lb/ft^{2}

Solution:

As per the question:

Volume of tank, V = 0.25 ft^{3}

The capacity of tank, V' = 50ft^{3}

Temperature, T' = 80^{\circ}F = 299.8 K

Temperature, T = 59^{\circ}F = 288.2 K

Now, from the eqn:

PV = nRT                      (1)

Volume of the gas in the container is constant.

V = V'

Similarly,

P'V' = n'RT'                       (2)

Also,

The amount of gas is double of the first case in the cylinder then:

n' = 2n

\]frac{n'}{n} = 2

where

n and n' are the no. of moles

Now, from eqn (1) and (2):

\frac{PV}{P'V'} = \frac{nRT}{n'RT'}

P' = 2P\frac{T'}{T} = 2\times 2116\times \frac{299.8}{288.2} = 4499.12 lb/ft^{2}

Max and Jimmy want to jump on a trampoline. Max begins jumping in a steady pattern, making small waves in the trampoline. Jimmy
mylen [45]

Answer:

x_total = (A + B) cos (wt + Ф)

we have the sum of the two waves in a phase movement

Explanation:

In this case we can see that the first boy Max when he enters the trampoline and jumps creates a harmonic movement, with a given frequency. When the second boy Jimmy enters the trampoline and begins to jump he also creates a harmonic movement. If the frequency of the two movements is the same and they are in phase we have a resonant process, where the amplitude of the movement increases significantly.

         Max

               x₁ = A cos (wt + Ф)

         Jimmy

              x₂ = B cos (wt + Ф)

         

total movement

             x_total = (A + B) cos (wt + Ф)

 Therefore we have the sum of the two waves in a phase movement
