Answer:

In space we feel weightlessness because the earth's gravity has less effect on us. The Earth's gravitational attraction at those altitudes is only about 11% less than it is at the Earth's surface. If you had a ladder that could reach as high as the shuttle's orbit, your weight would be 11% less at the top.

Hope this helps:)

An American traveler in China carries a transformer to convert China's standard 220 V to 120 V so that she can use some small ap

Arisa [49]

Answer:

(a) The ratio of turns in the primary and secondary coils of her transformer is 1.833

(b) The ratio of input to output current is 0.55

(c) To increase the output voltage, you can either increase the number of turns in the secondary coil (step-up) or increase the input current. Therefore, the Chinese person has to increase the input current of the transformer to achieve an increased output voltage that can power her 220 V appliances.

Explanation:

Given;

input voltage, $V_p$ = 220 V

output voltage, $V_s$ = 120 V

General transformer equation is given as;

$\frac{V_p}{V_s} = \frac{N_p}{N_s} = \frac{I_s}{I_p}$

where;

Np is number of turns in the primary coil

Ns is number of turns in the secondary coil

Is - is the secondary current or output current

Ip - is the primary current or input current

(a) The ratio of turns in the primary and secondary coils of her transformer;

$\frac{N_p}{N_s} = \frac{V_p}{V_s} \\\\\frac{N_p}{N_s} = \frac{220}{120} = 1.833$

(b) The ratio of input to output current;

$\frac{I_p}{I_s} = \frac{V_s}{V_p} \\\\\frac{I_p}{I_s} = \frac{120}{220} \\\\\frac{I_p}{I_s} = 0.55$

What factors affect attractive force

Inga [223]

Two Factors That Affect How Much Gravity Is on an Object. Gravity is the force that gives weight to objects and causes them to fall to the ground when dropped. Two major factors, mass and distance, affect the strength of gravitational force on an object.
