Answer:

Batteries are systems that store chemical energy and then release it as electrical energy when they are connected to a circuit. Batteries can be made from many materials, but they all share three main components: a metal anode, a metal cathode and an electrolyte between them. The electrolyte is an ionic solution that allows charge to flow through the system. When a load, such as a light bulb, is connected, an oxidation-reduction reaction occurs that releases electrons from the anode while the cathode gains electrons

Water flows with constant speed through a garden hose that goes up to 27.5 cm high. if the water pressure is 132kpa at the botto

sergejj [24]

Answer:

The pressure at the top of the step is 129.303 kilopascals.

Explanation:

From Hydrostatics we find that the pressure difference between extremes of the water column is defined by the following formula, which is a particular case of the Bernoulli's Principle ( $v_{bottom}\approx v_{top}$ ):

$p_{bottom}-p_{top} = \rho\cdot g\cdot \Delta h$ (1)

$p_{bottom}$ , $p_{top}$ - Total pressures at the bottom and at the top, measured in pascals.

$\rho$ - Density of the water, measured in kilograms per cubic meter.

$\Delta h$ - Height difference of the step, measured in meters.

If we know that $p_{bottom} = 132000\,Pa$ , $\rho = 1000\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}}$ , $g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ and $\Delta h = 0.275\,m$ , then the pressure at the top of the step is:

$p_{top} = p_{bottom}-\rho\cdot g\cdot \Delta h$

$p_{top} = 132000\,Pa-\left(1000\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} \right)\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)\cdot (0.275\,m)$

$p_{top} = 129303.075\,Pa$

$p_{top} = 129.303\,kPa$

The pressure at the top of the step is 129.303 kilopascals.

An American traveler in China carries a transformer to convert China's standard 220 V to 120 V so that she can use some small ap

Arisa [49]

Answer:

(a) The ratio of turns in the primary and secondary coils of her transformer is 1.833

(b) The ratio of input to output current is 0.55

(c) To increase the output voltage, you can either increase the number of turns in the secondary coil (step-up) or increase the input current. Therefore, the Chinese person has to increase the input current of the transformer to achieve an increased output voltage that can power her 220 V appliances.

Explanation:

Given;

input voltage, $V_p$ = 220 V
