In practice, if a voltmeter was connected across any combination of the terminals, the potential difference would be less than w

hat is calculated. State why this is so and explain how the difference is kept to a minimum in modern transformers.

Answer:

This difference is kept to a minimum because the resistance in transformers is a few tens of ohms and the resistance of modern voltmeters is of the order of MΩ.

Explanation:

A voltmeter is built by a galvanometer and a resistance in series, this set is connected in parallel to the resistance where the voltage is to be measured, therefore the voltage is divided between the voltmeter and the element to be measured, consequently the measured voltage It is less than the calculated one, since for them the resistance of the voltmeter is assumed infinite.

This difference is kept to a minimum because the resistance in transformers is a few tens of ohms and the resistance of modern voltmeters is of the order of MΩ.

calculate the distance a plane flies on a 7.95 hour flight from Chicago to London. Assume a constant speed of 800.0 km/h
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

6360 km

Explanation:

Use the kinematics equation x=v_ot+\frac{1}{2}at^2.  We are given t = 7.95 hours and a = 0 m/s^2 (constant speed means there is no acceleration).  Solve for x.

x=(800)(7.95)+\frac{1}{2}(0)(7.95^2)\\x=6360 \ km

What is the disadvantage of the parallax method, especially for studying distant parts of the Galaxy?
Katena32 [7]

Answer and Explanation:

Parallax method is used for finding the distance of objects in space there are two types of parallax method that is stellar parallax and trigonometric parallax.The disadvantage of using parallax method is that it can can not reach so far in the Galaxy due to this reason parallax method is generally not used for measuring distance in galaxy.

A wave on a string is described by y(x, t) = (3.0 cm) × cos[2π(x/(2.4 m + t/(0.20 s))], where x is in m and t in s.
Len [333]

Corrected and Formatted Question:

A wave on a string is described by y(x, t) = (3.0 cm) × cos[2π(x/(2.4 m) + t/(0.20 s))], where x is in m and t in s.

(a) In what direction is this wave traveling?

(b) What are the wave speed, frequency, and wavelength?

(c) At t = 0.50 , what is the displacement of the string at x = 0.20 m?

Answer:

The wave is travelling in the negative x direction

The wave speed = 12.0m/s

The frequency = 5Hz

The wavelength = 2.4m

The displacement at t = 0.50s and x = 0.20m is -0.029m

Explanation:

The general wave equation is given by;

y(x, t) = y cos (2\pi(x/λ) - 2\pift)    --------------------------------(i)

Where;

y(x, t) is the displacement of the wave at position x and a given time t

y = amplitude of the wave

f = frequency of the wave

λ = wavelength of the wave

Given;

y(x, t) = (3.0 cm) × cos[2π(x/(2.4 m) + t/(0.20 s))]   ------------------(ii)

Which can be re-written as;

y(x, t) = (3.0 cm) × cos[2π(x/(2.4 m)) + 2π(t/(0.20 s))]  -------------(iii)

Comparing equations (i) and (iii) we have that;

=> 2π(x/(2.4 m) = 2π(x/λ)

=> λ = 2.4m

Therefore the wavelength of the wave is 2.4m

Also, still comparing the two equations;

=> 2π(t/(0.20 s) = 2πft

=> f = 1 / 0.20

=> f = 5Hz

Therefore the frequency of the wave is 5Hz

To get the wave speed (v), it is given by;

v = f x λ

Where f = 5Hz and λ = 2.4m

=> v = 5 x 2.4

=> v = 12.0m/s

Therefore, the speed of the wave is 12.0m/s

At t = 0.50s and x = 0.20m;

The displacement, y(x,t) of the string wave is given by

y(x, t) = (3.0 cm) × cos[2π(x/(2.4 m) + t/(0.20 s))]

<em>Convert the amplitude of 3.0cm to m</em>

=> 3.0cm = 0.03m

<em>Substitute this back into the equation</em>

=> y(x, t) = (0.03m) × cos[2π(x/(2.4 m) + t/(0.20 s))]

<em>Substitute the values of t and x into the equation above;</em>

=> y(x, t) = (0.03m) × cos[2π((0.20)/(2.4 m) + 0.50/(0.20 s))]

<em>Carefully solve the equation</em>

=> y(x, t) = (0.03m) × cos[2π((0.20)/(2.4 m)) + 2π(0.50/(0.20 s))]

=> y(x, t) = (0.03m) × cos[0.08π + 5π]

=> y(x, t) = (0.03m) × cos[5.08π]

=> y(x, t) = (0.03m) × cos[15.96]

=> y(x, t) = (0.03m) × cos[15.96]

=> y(x, t) = (0.03m) × -0.9684

=> y(x, t) = 0.029m

Therefore the displacement at those points is -0.029m

Also, the sign of the displacement shows that the direction of the wave is in the negative x direction.

Mars has two moons, Phobos and Deimos. Phobos orbits Mars at a distance of 9380 km from Mars's center, while Deimos orbits at 23
Sloan [31]

Answer:

The ratio is   \frac{T_1}{T_2}  = 3.965

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  radius of Phobos orbit is  R_2 =  9380 km

    The radius  of Deimos orbit is  R_1  =  23500 \  km

Generally from Kepler's third law

    T^2 =  \frac{ 4 *  \pi^2 *  R^3}{G * M  }

Here M is the mass of Mars which is constant

        G is the gravitational  constant

So we see that \frac{ 4 *  \pi^2  }{G * M  } =  constant

   

    T^2 = R^3   *  constant      

=>  [\frac{T_1}{T_2} ]^2 =  [\frac{R_1}{R_2} ]^3

Here T_1 is the period of Deimos

and  T_1 is the period of  Phobos

So

      [\frac{T_1}{T_2} ] =  [\frac{R_1}{R_2} ]^{\frac{3}{2}}

=>    \frac{T_1}{T_2}  =  [\frac{23500 }{9380} ]^{\frac{3}{2}}]

=>    \frac{T_1}{T_2}  = 3.965
