Answer:

W = 600 N

Explanation:

The mechanical advantage of any machine is the ratio of the load or weight to the effort applied. Hence, the general formula for mechanical advantage is as follows:

M.A = W/P

where,

M.A =Mechanical Advantage of Hammer = 10

W = Maximum force that could be generated = ?

P = Force created by me = 60 N

Therefore,

10 = W/60 N

W = 10*60 N

<u>W = 600 N</u>

The voltage entering a transformer’s primary winding is 120 volts. The primary winding is wrapped around the iron core 10 times.
loris [4]
<u>Answer</u>

 48 Volts  

<u>Explanation</u>
The question can be solve using the turn rule of a transformer that states;

Np/Ns = Vp/Vs
Where Np ⇒ number of turns in the primary coil.
            Ns ⇒number of turns in the seconndary coil
            Vp ⇒ primary voltage
             Vs ⇒secondary voltage

Np/Ns = Vp/Vs

10/4 = 120/Vp

Vp = (120 × 4)/10

      = 480/10
      = 48 Volts

A sound wave was determined to have a frequency of 0.3 Hz, speed of 150 cm/s, and amplitude of 2 cm. Find its wavelength.
fredd [130]

Answer:

5 m

Explanation:

From the question,

v = λf....................... Equation 1

Where v = speed of the sound wave, λ = wavelength of the sound wave, f = frequency of the sound wave.

make λ the subject of the equation

λ = v/f..................... Equation 2

Given: v = 150 cm/s = 1.5 m/s, f = 0.3 hz.

Substitute these values into equation 2

λ = 1.5/0.3

λ = 5 m.

Pls place the words in the right place I'll give brainless and the points!
Sphinxa [80]

Explanation:

you measure temperature in degrees celsius using a thermometer. Thermal energy is measured in joules. A larger volume of water will take longer to heat up but will store more energy than the smaller object. However, a smaller object will lose it's heat faster than a larger object. A cup of tea has less thermal energy than a swimming pool.
