Answer:

Step-up transformers are used at power stations to produce the very high voltages needed to transmit electricity through the National Grid power lines. These high voltages are too dangerous to use in the home, so step-down transformers are used locally to reduce the voltage to safe levels.

an object 24.0 cm from a concave mirror creates a virtual image at -33.5 cm. if the image is 7.25 cm tall, what is the height of

Hitman42 [59]

The height of the object will be -5.19 cm

A concave mirror's reflecting surface curves inward and away from the light source. Light is reflected inward to a single focus point via concave mirrors. Concave mirrors, in contrast to convex mirrors, produce a variety of images depending on the object's to the mirror.

Given an object 24.0 cm from a concave mirror creates a virtual image at -33.5 cm. if the image is 7.25 cm tall

So let,

v = Image distance from the mirror = -33.5 cm

u = object distance from the mirror (concave) = 24 cm

hi = Image height = 7.25 cm

h = height of the object = ?

Using below formula to find height of the object

-v/u = hi/h

Putting all value in the formula we get

-(-33.5)/(-24) = 7.25/h

h = -5.19 cm

Therefore the height of the object will be -5.19 cm

A cue stick hits a cue ball with an average force of 22 N for a duration of 0.029 s. If the mass of the ball is 0.15 kg, how fas

Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

4.25 m/s

Explanation:

Force, F = 22 N

Time, t = 0.029 s

mass, m = 0.15 kg

initial velocity of the cue ball, u = 0

Let v be the final velocity of the cue ball.

Use newton's second law

Force = rate of change on momentum

F = m (v - u) / t

22 = 0.15 ( v - 0) / 0.029

v = 4.25 m/s

Thus, the velocity of cue ball after being struck is 4.25 m/s.

The mass of the Moon is 7.35 x 1022 kg, while that of Earth is 5.98 x 1024 kg. The average distance from the center of the Moon

Kryger [21]

Answer:

aaa

Explanation:

$m_e$ = Mass of the Earth = 5.98 × 10²⁴ kg

G = Gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

$r_1$ = Distance from the center of the Moon to the center of Earth = 6371000 m

$r_2$ = Distance from the center of the earth center to sun center

$m_m$ = Mass of moon = $7.35\times 10^{22}\ kg$

M = Mass of sun = $1.989\times 10^{30}\ kg$

$F_1=G\frac{m_em_m}{r_1^2}\\\Rightarrow F_1=6.67\times 10^{-11}\frac{5.98\times 10^{24}\times 7.35\times 10^{22}}{(384000000)^2}\\\Rightarrow F_1=1.988\times 10^{20}\ N$

$F_2=G\frac{Mm_e}{r_1^2}\\\Rightarrow F_2=6.67\times 10^{-11}\frac{5.98\times 10^{24}\times 1.989\times 10^{30}}{(149.6\times 10^9+6371000+695.51\times 10^6)^2}\\\Rightarrow F_2=3.511\times 10^{22} N$

$\frac{F_1}{F_2}=\frac{1.988\times 10^{20}}{3.511\times 10^{22}}\\\Rightarrow \frac{F_1}{F_2}=0.00566\\\Rightarrow F_1=F_20.00566$

Hence the force of moon on earth is 0.00566 times the force of earth on moon center to center
