To find for the input current, we use ratio and proportion concept. We use the equation:

I(input)/ I(output) = V(output)/ V(input)

I(input) / 1.8 A = 24 V / 120 V
I(input) = 0.36 A

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day. Feel free to ask more questions.

A quarterback passes a football from height h = 2.1 m above the field, with initial velocity v0 = 13.5 m/s at an angle θ = 32° a
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

a)    x = v₀² sin 2θ / g

b)    t_total = 2 v₀ sin θ / g

c)    x = 16.7 m

Explanation:

This is a projectile launching exercise, let's use trigonometry to find the components of the initial velocity

        sin θ = v_{oy} / vo

        cos θ = v₀ₓ / vo

         v_{oy} = v_{o} sin θ

         v₀ₓ = v₀ cos θ

         v_{oy} = 13.5 sin 32 = 7.15 m / s

         v₀ₓ = 13.5 cos 32 = 11.45 m / s

a) In the x axis there is no acceleration so the velocity is constant

         v₀ₓ = x / t

          x = v₀ₓ t

the time the ball is in the air is twice the time to reach the maximum height, where the vertical speed is zero

          v_{y} = v_{oy} - gt

          0 = v₀ sin θ - gt

          t = v_{o} sin θ / g

         

we substitute

       x = v₀ cos θ (2 v_{o} sin θ / g)

       x = v₀² /g      2 cos θ sin θ

       x = v₀² sin 2θ / g

at the point where the receiver receives the ball is at the same height, so this coincides with the range of the projectile launch,

b) The acceleration to which the ball is subjected is equal in the rise and fall, therefore it takes the same time for both parties, let's find the rise time

at the highest point the vertical speed is zero

          v_{y} = v_{oy} - gt

          v_{y} = 0

           t = v_{oy} / g

           t = v₀ sin θ / g

as the time to get on and off is the same the total time or flight time is

           t_total = 2 t

           t_total = 2 v₀ sin θ / g

c) we calculate

          x = 13.5 2 sin (2 32) / 9.8

          x = 16.7 m

72km/hr = 72000m/3600seconds(we convert km/hr to m/s
= 20m/s
Velocity= 20m/s
In 4seconds,distance covered=20x4= 80m
Therefore,an accident occurs because in 4seconds, the car would have moved past 20m

n an object. one force is 3N to the east and the other force is 9n to the west. what is the net force acting on the object ​
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

-6N

Explanation:

The force to the east is acting in the positive x-direction therefore it is positive. The force to the east is in the negative x-direction therefore it is negative. The net force is just the sum of the two so 3-9=-6

he membrane that surrounds a certain type of living cell has a surface area of 6.0 x 10-9 m2 and a thickness of 1.6 x 10-8 m. As
k0ka [10]

Answer:

1.54481175\times 10^{-12}\ C

Explanation:

\epsilon_0 = Permittivity of free space = 8.85\times 10^{-12}\ F/m

A = Area = 6\times 10^{-9}\ m^2

d = Thickness = 1.6\times 10^{-8}\ m

k = Dielectric constant = 5.4

V = Voltage = 86.2 mV

Charge is given by

Q=CV\\\Rightarrow Q=k\epsilon\dfrac{A}{d}V\\\Rightarrow Q=5.4\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}\times \dfrac{6\times 10^{-9}}{1.6\times 10^{-8}}\times 86.2\times 10^{-3}\\\Rightarrow Q=1.54481175\times 10^{-12}\ C

The charge on the outer surface is 1.54481175\times 10^{-12}\ C

Suppose 8.50 ✕ 10^5 J of energy are transferred to 1.63 kg of ice at 0°C. The latent heat of fusion and specific heat of water a
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

(a) 5.43 x 10⁵ J

(b) 3.07 x 10⁵ J

(c) 45 °C

Explanation:

(a)

L_{f} = Latent heat of fusion of ice to water = 3.33 x 10⁵ J/kg

m = mass of ice = 1.63 kg

Q_{f} = Energy required to melt the ice

Energy required to melt the ice is given as

Q_{f} = m L_{f}

Q_{f} = (1.63) (3.33 x 10⁵)

Q_{f} = 5.43 x 10⁵ J

(b)

E = Total energy transferred = 8.50 x 10⁵ J

Q  = Amount of energy remaining to raise the temperature

Using conservation of energy

E = Q_{f} + Q

8.50 x 10⁵ = 5.43 x 10⁵ + Q

Q = 3.07 x 10⁵ J

(c)

T₀ = initial temperature = 0°C

T = Final temperature

m = mass of water = 1.63 kg

c = specific heat of water = 4186 J/(kg °C)

Q = Amount of energy to raise the temperature of water = 3.07 x 10⁵ J

Using the equation

Q = m c (T - T₀)

3.07 x 10⁵ = (1.63) (4186) (T - 0)

T = 45 °C
