Answer:

(A-) Number of turns in secondary coil will be<u> less than 125.</u>

(B-) EXPLAIN- The voltage is to be lowered.<u> The voltage will be reduced from 120 to 9 volts.</u> As a result, a<u> step down transformer </u>will be used, indicating that the secondary coil's number of turns would be less than 125.

(C-)<u> The number of turns on the secondary coil is 12.5</u>

<u></u>

Explanation:

  • STEP DOWN TRANSFORMER - A step-down transformer transforms high voltage (HV) and low current from the transformer's primary side to low voltage (LV) and high current on the secondary side. A phase down transformer is the opposite of this.

In electrical networks and transmission lines, a step-down transformer can be used in a number of ways.

<u>Step down transformer formula-</u>

                  V_s=\frac{N_s\times V_p}{N_p}

We are given with the -

Primary voltage V_p = 120V

Secondary voltage Vs=12V

Number of primary turns N_p=125

  • <u>To calculate the number of turns on the secondary coil -</u>

       Since , the transformer ratio is given as -

                   \frac{N_s}{N_p} =\frac{V_s}{V_p}

So, the number of turns on the secondary coil is - N_s=N_p\times\frac{V_p}{V_s}

            Putting , the given values -:

                125\times\frac{12}{120}

         =   12.5

<u>Therefore , the number of turns on secondary coil is 12.5 .</u>

A planet is discovered orbiting around a star in the galaxy Andromeda at four times the distance from the star as Earth is from
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

Tp/Te = 2

Therefore, the orbital period of the planet is twice that of the earth's orbital period.

Explanation:

The orbital period of a planet around a star can be expressed mathematically as;

T = 2π√(r^3)/(Gm)

Where;

r = radius of orbit

G = gravitational constant

m = mass of the star

Given;

Let R represent radius of earth orbit and r the radius of planet orbit,

Let M represent the mass of sun and m the mass of the star.

r = 4R

m = 16M

For earth;

Te = 2π√(R^3)/(GM)

For planet;

Tp = 2π√(r^3)/(Gm)

Substituting the given values;

Tp = 2π√((4R)^3)/(16GM) = 2π√(64R^3)/(16GM)

Tp = 2π√(4R^3)/(GM)

Tp = 2 × 2π√(R^3)/(GM)

So,

Tp/Te = (2 × 2π√(R^3)/(GM))/( 2π√(R^3)/(GM))

Tp/Te = 2

Therefore, the orbital period of the planet is twice that of the earth's orbital period.

A child of mass 40.0 kg is in a roller coaster car that travels in a loop of radius 7.00 m. at point a the speed of the car is 1
pav-90 [236]
I attached the missing picture.
The force of seat acting on the child is a reaction the force of child pressing down on the seat. This is the third Newton's law. The force of a child pressing down the seat and the force of the seat pushing up on the child are the same.
There two forces acting on the child. The first one is the gravitational force and the second one is centrifugal force. In this example, the force of gravity is always pulling down, but centrifugal force always acts away from the center of circular motion.
Part A
For point A we have:
F_a=F_cf-F_g
In this case, the forces are aligned, centrifugal is pointing up and gravitational is pulling down.
F_a=m\frac{v^2}{r}-mg=179 $N
Part B
At the point, B situation is a bit more complicated. In this case force of gravity and centrifugal force are not aligned. We have to look at y components of this forces, y-axis, in this case, is just pointing upward.
F=F_{cf}\cos(30)-mg=m\frac{v^2}{r}\cos(30)-mg=153.2$N
Part C
The child will stay in place at point A when centrifugal force and force of gravity are in balance:
F_g=F_{cf}\\&#10;mg=m\frac{v^2}{r}\\&#10;gr=v^2\\&#10;v=\sqrt{gr}=8.29\frac{m}{s}

If a person is 6.25 m away from a 60.0 w speaker, what is the sound level they are hearing?
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

110.87 dB

Explanation:

(I got it right on Acellus)

I= P/4(pi)r^2 = 60/4(pi)6.25^2

60/4(pi)6.25^2=0.12223

B=10log(I/Io)

B=10log(0.12223/1*10^-12) = 110.87 dB
