10. A diver is collecting shells under water. They see a very large and beautiful shell so they reach out to pick it up. After s

everal missed attempts to grab the shell, the diver places it in a dive bag and surfaces. At the surface the diver is surprised that the shell is smaller than they thought. Explain this phenomenon.

A 79 kg person sits on a 3.7 kg chair. Each leg of the chair makes contact with the floor in a circle that is 1.3 cm in diameter

vampirchik [111]

I'll assume that the chair has four legs.

Since the chair weights 3.7 kg by itself, it will weigh (79+3.7)=82.7 kg with the person sitting on it. And each of the chair's legs will take about (82.7/4)=20.675 kg.

Each leg touches the floor in a circle with 1.3cm diameter. The area of that circle is about (3.14*(1.3/2)^2)=1.327 cm^2.

Pressure is measured by force per area. So, the pressure from each leg is about 20.675kg / 1.327cm^2. That simplifies to 15.58 kg/cm^2.

A transformer has a primary coil with 106 turns and a secondary coil of 340 turns. The AC voltage across the primary coil has a

UkoKoshka [18]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to transformers, that is to say passive electrical device that transfers electrical energy from one electrical circuit to one or more circuits.

From the mathematical definition we have that the relationship between the voltage of the first coil and the second coil is proportional to the number of loops of the first and second loop, that is:

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

Where

$V_p =$ input voltage on the primary coil.

$V_s=$ input voltage on the secondary coil.

$N_p=$ number of turns of wire on the primary coil.

$N_s =$ number of turns of wire on the secondary coil.

Replacing our values we have:

$V_p = 128V$

$N_p = 106$

$N_s = 340$

Replacing,

$\frac{V_s}{128} = \frac{340}{106}$

$V_s = 410.56V$

From the same relations of number of turns and the voltage of the first and second coil we also have the relation of electricity and voltage whereby:

$V_s I_s = V_p I_p$

Where

$I_p$ = Current Primary Coil

$I_s$ = Current secundary Coil

Therefore:

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

$I_s = \frac{(128)(6)}{410.56}$

$I_s = 1.87 A$

Therefore the maximum values for the secondary coil of the voltage is 410.56V and Current is 1.87A

The speed of light in vacuum is exactly 299,792,458 m/s. A beam of light has a wavelength of 651 nm in vacuum. This light propag

sukhopar [10]

Answer:

$v=2.58\times10^8m/s$

Explanation:

The index of refraction is equal to the speed of light c in vacuum divided by its speed v in a substance, or $n=\frac{c}{v}$ . For our case we want to use $v=\frac{c}{n}$ , which for our values is equal to:

$v=\frac{c}{n}=\frac{299792458m/s}{1.16}=258441774.138m/s$

Which we will express with 3 significant figures (since a product or quotient must contain the same number of significant figures as the measurement with the <em>least</em> number of significant figures):

$v=2.58\times10^8m/s$

What is the difference between light energy and heat energy

MrRissso [65]

ANSWER:

What is the difference between heat and light? - Physics Stack ... Heat and light are different but they are both forms of energy. Heat is a form of kinetic energy contained in the random motion of the particles of a material. Light is a form of electromagnetic energy. As with other forms of energy, heat energy can be transformed into light energy and vice versa.
