Answer: The correct option is B.

Explanation:

In the given problem, a basketball rolls to a stop along a gym floor without anyone touching it.

The basketball stops own its own because of the force of friction. Friction is a force which opposes the motion of the object. The direction of the force of friction is in an opposite direction to the motion of the object.

The frictional force will act between the basket ball and the floor.

Therefore, the correct option is B.

A transformer has a primary voltage of 115 V and a secondary voltage of 24 V. If the number of turns in the primary is 345, how
Nata [24]

Answer:

C. 72

Explanation:

Transformer: A transformer is an electromagnetic device that uses the property of mutual inductance to change the voltage of alternating supply.

In a ideal transformer,

Vs/Vp = Ns/Np ............................................. Equation 1

Where Vp = primary voltage, Vs = secondary voltage, Ns = Secondary turn, Np = primary turn.

Making Ns the subject of the equation,

Ns =(Vs/Vp)Np .......................................... Equation 2

Given: Vs = 24 V, Vp = 115 V, Np = 345.

Substitute into equation 2

Ns = (24/115)345

Ns = 72 turns.

Thus the number of turns in the secondary = 72 turns.

The right option is C. 72

What is a solution that has the capacity to hold additional solute at a given temperature called? A. Unsaturated
gavmur [86]
<span>The correct option is A. There are three basic type of solutions, these are: unsaturated, saturated and super saturated solution. An unsaturated solution is a solution that has the capacity to hold more solute at a particular temprature, it is a solutin that is not yet saturated with the solute [particles dissolve in it].</span>

Which of the following objects is in static equilibrium?
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

b- a bicycle sitting on the ground

Explanation:

'Static' means it's not moving.

So, only the answer listed as "a bicycle sitting on the ground" corresponds to that condition.

All others possible answers describe something that is moving (an apple falling, a motorcycle accelerating, a car moving at a constant speed).  Even if they are going at a constant speed, they are moving, so not static.

What is the formula to find the second charge in Coulomb's Law?
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

1.F is the electrostatic force between charges (in Newtons),

2.q₁ is the magnitude of the first charge (in Coulombs),

3.q₂ is the magnitude of the second charge (in Coulombs),

4.r is the shortest distance between the charges (in m),

5.ke is the Coulomb's constant. It is equal to 8.98755 × 10⁹ N·m²/C² .
