At its closest approach, a moon comes within 200,000 km of the planet it orbits. At that point, the moon is 300,000 km from the

other focus of its orbit, f2. The planet is focus f1 of the moon's elliptical orbit. How far is the moon from the planet when it is 260,000 km from f2?

Answer:

s₁ = 240,000 km

Explanation:

The distance between both the focuses f₁ and f₂ will be the sum of distances of the moon from each focus at a given point. Therefore,

s = s₁ + s₂

where,

s = total distance between the focuses = ?

s₁ = distance between f1 and moon = 200,000 km

s₂ = distance between f₂ and moon = 300,000 km

Therefore,

s = 200,000 km + 300,000 km

s = 500,000 km

Now, when the distance from f₂ becomes 260,000 km, then the distance from f₁(planet) will become:

s = s₁ + s₂

500,000 km = s₁ + 260,000 km

s₁ = 500,000 km - 260,000 km

<u>s₁ = 240,000 km</u>

Consider a transformer. used to recharge rechargeable flashlight batteries, that has 500 turns in its primary coil, 3 turns in i
Rashid [163]

Answer:

<em>a) 0.72 V</em>

<em>b) 19.2 mA</em>

<em>c) 2.304 Watts</em>

Explanation:

A transformer is used to step-up or step-down voltage and current. It uses the principle of electromagnetic induction. When the primary coil is greater than the secondary coil, the it is a step-down transformer, and when the primary coil is less than the secondary coil, the it is a step-up transformer.

number of primary turns = N_{p} = 500 turns

input voltage = V_{p} = 120 V

number of secondary turns = N_{s} = 3 turns

output voltage = V_{s} = ?

using the equation for a transformer

\frac{V_{s} }{V_{p} }  = \frac{N_{s} }{N_{p} }

substituting values, we have

\frac{V_{s} }{120 }  = \frac{3 }{500} }

500V_{p}  = 120*3\\500V_{p} = 360

V_{p} = 360/500 =<em> 0.72 V</em>

<em></em>

b) by law of energy conservation,

I_{P}V_{p} = I_{s}V_{s}

where

I_{p} = input current = ?

I_{s} = output voltage = 3.2 A

V_{s} = output voltage = 0.72 V

V_{p} = input voltage = 120 V

substituting values, we have

120I_{p} = 3.2 x 0.72

120I_{p} = 2.304

I_{p}  = 2.304/120 = 0.0192 A

= <em>19.2 mA</em>

<em></em>

c) power input = I_{p} V_{p}

==> 0.0192 x 120 = <em>2.304 Watts</em>

Bird bones have air pockets in them to reduce their weight. This also gives them an average density significantly less than that
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

mas of water displaced = 41.4 g

Explanation:

Weight in air = True weight = 45 g

Apparent weight = 3.6 g

Apparent weight = True weight - Buoyant force

Buoyant force = 45 g - 3.6 g = 41.4 g

Weight of water displaced = Buoyant force

Weight of water displaced = 41.4 g dyne

mas of water displaced = 41.4 g
