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>

What is the kinetic energy of a 1130 kg truck that is moving with a velocity of 40 m/s?
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

The answer is 904,000.

Kinetic energy=1/2mv^2.

1/2×1130×40^2.

1/2×1808000=904,000Joules.

A cannon with a muzzle speed of 1 000 m/s is used to start an avalanche on a mountain slope. The target is 2 000 m from the cann
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

∅ = 89.44°

Explanation:

In situations like this air resistance are usually been neglected thereby making g= 9.81 m/s^{2}

Bring out the given parameters from the question:

Initial Velocity (V_{1}) = 1000 m/s

Target distance (d) = 2000 m

Target height (h) =  800 m

Projection angle ∅ = ?

Horizontal distance = V_{1x}tcos ∅     .......................... Equation 1

where V_{1x} = velocity in the X - direction

           t = Time taken

Vertical Distance = y = V_{1y} t - \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}        ................... Equation 2

Where   V_{1y} = Velocity in the Y- direction

              t  = Time taken

V_{1y} = V_{1}sin∅

Making time (t) subject of the formula in Equation 1

                    t = d/(V_{1x}cos ∅)

                      t = \frac{2000}{1000coso} = \frac{2}{cos0}  =    \frac{d}{cos o}             ...................Equation 3

substituting equation 3 into equation 2

Vertical Distance = d = V_{1y} \frac{d}{cos o} - \frac{1}{2}g\frac{2}{cos0}   ^{2}

                                  Vertical Distance = h = sin∅ \frac{d}{cos o} - \frac{1}{2}g\frac{2}{cos0}   ^{2}

  Vertical Distance = h = dtan∅   - \frac{1}{2}g\frac{2}{cos0}   ^{2}

  Applying geometry

                              \frac{1}{cos o} = tan^{2} o + 1

  Vertical Distance = h = d tan∅   - 2 g (tan^{2} o + 1)

               substituting the given parameters

               800 = 2000 tan ∅ - 2 (9.81)( tan^{2} o + 1)

              800 = 2000 tan ∅ - 19.6( tan^{2} o + 1)  Equation 4

Replacing tan ∅ = Q     .....................Equation 5

In order to get a quadratic equation that can be easily solve.

            800 = 2000 Q - 19.6Q^{2} + 19.6

Rearranging 19.6Q^{2} - 2000 Q + 780.4 = 0

                    Q_{1} = 101.6291

                      Q_{2} = 0.411

    Inserting the value of Q Into Equation 5

                 tan ∅ = 101.63    or tan ∅ = 0.4114

Taking the Tan inverse of each value of Q

                  ∅ = 89.44°     ∅ = 22.37°

Infer whether a system can have kinetic energy and potential energy at the same time
Rasek [7]
Yes, an object can have both of these at the same time. Potential energy is energy that is stored in an object. Kinetic energy is the energy that is associated with motion. So what you have to have is an object that is in motion but still has more energy that it has yet to convert into kinetic energy.
