Answer:

Explanation:

mechanical advantage = output force / input force

= 740 N / 55 N

= 13.45

How does Mercury's close proximity to the sun and thin atmosphere affect its ability to maintain liquid water

Answer

A thin atmosphere does not supply much oxygen, and the heat from the sun would evaporate it, because mercury is close to the sun.

What force causes a falling object to gain kinetic energy?

hoa [83]

Answer:

Gravitational Potential Energy

Explanation:

As an object falls from rest, its gravitational potential energy is converted to kinetic energy. Conservation of energy as a tool permits the calculation of the velocity just before it hits the surface.

A portable x-ray unit has a step-up transformer. The 120 V input is transformed to the 100 kV output needed by the x-ray tube. T

slega [8]

Answer:

$N_s\approx41667 \hspace{3}lo ops$

Explanation:

In an ideal transformer, the ratio of the voltages is proportional to the ratio of the number of turns of the windings. In this way:

$\frac{V_p}{V_s} =\frac{N_p}{N_s} \\\\Where:\\\\V_p=Primary\hspace{3} Voltage\\V_s=V_p=Secondary\hspace{3} Voltage\\N_p=Number\hspace{3} of\hspace{3} Primary\hspace{3} Windings\\N_s=Number\hspace{3} of\hspace{3} Secondary\hspace{3} Windings$

In this case:

$V_p=120V\\V_s=100kV=100000V\\N_p=50$

Therefore, using the previous equation and the data provided, let's solve for $N_s$ :

$N_s=\frac{N_p V_s}{V_p} =\frac{(50)(100000)}{120} =\frac{125000}{3} \approx41667\hspace{3}loo ps$

Hence, the number of loops in the secondary is approximately 41667.

Standard weight and scales in the market should be checked in every two year why?

disa [49]

Answer:

to check for errors.

Explanation:

since some of the components of the scale are metallic, they are prone to rusting which would cause error in reading of the scale so there is organized checking if the scale to correct that.

hope it helps .
