A voltage V is applied to the primary coil of a step-up transformer with a 3:1 ratio of turns between its primary and secondary

Snezhnost [94]

Explanation:

Let $N_p\ and\ N_s$ are the number of turns in primary and secondary coil of the transformer such that,

$\dfrac{N_p}{N_s}=\dfrac{1}{3}$

A resistor R connected to the secondary dissipates a power $P_s=100\ W$

For a transformer, $\dfrac{N_s}{N_p}=\dfrac{V_s}{V_p}$

$V_s=(\dfrac{N_s}{N_p})V_p$

$V_s=3V_p$ ...............(1)

The power dissipated through the secondary coil is :

$P_s=\dfrac{V_s^2}{R}$

$100\ W=\dfrac{V_s^2}{R}$

$V_p^2=\dfrac{100R}{9}$ .............(2)

Let $N_p'\ and\ N_s'$ are the new number of turns in primary and secondary coil of the transformer such that,

$\dfrac{N_p'}{N_s'}=\dfrac{1}{24}$

New voltage is :

$V_s'=(\dfrac{N_s'}{N_p'})V_p'$

$V_s'=24V_p$ ...............(3)

So, new power dissipated is $P_s'$

$P_s'=\dfrac{V_s'^2}{R}$

$P_s'=\dfrac{(24V_p)^2}{R}$

$P_s'=24^2\times \dfrac{(V_p)^2}{R}$

$P_s'=24^2\times \dfrac{(\dfrac{100R}{9})}{R}$

$P_s'=6400\ Watts$

So, the new power dissipated by the same resistor is 6400 watts. Hence, this is the required solution.

A rock is thrown with a force of 500 N and an acceleration is 75 m/s^2. What is its mass?

artcher [175]

Answer:

We conclude that the mass of a rock with a force of 500 N and an acceleration of 75 m/s² is 6.7 kg.

Hence, option D is correct.

Explanation:

Given

Force F = 500 N

Acceleration a = 75 m/s²

To determine

Mass m = ?

Important Tip:

The mass of a rock can be found using the formula F = ma

Using the formula

$F = ma$

where

F is the force (N)

m is the mass (kg)

a is the acceleration (m/s²)

now substituting F = 500, and a = 75 m/s² in the formula

$F = ma$

$500 = m(75)$

switch sides

$m\left(75\right)=500$

Divide both sides by 75

$\frac{m\cdot \:75}{75}=\frac{500}{75}$

simplify

$m=\frac{20}{3}$

$m=6.7$ kg

Therefore, we conclude that the mass of a rock with a force of 500 N and an acceleration of 75 m/s² is 6.7 kg.

Hence, option D is correct.

Problem A spring was at its resting position where it is attached to a wall at its left side and a block at its right side as sh

puteri [66]

Answer:

F = 19.1 N

Explanation:

To find the force exerted by the string on the block you use the following formula:

$F=kx$ (1)

k: spring constant = 95.5 N/m

x: displacement of the block from its equilibrium position = 0.200 m

you replace the values of k and x in the equation (1):

$F=(95.5N/m)(0.200m)=19.1N$

Hence, the force exterted on the block is 19.1 N
