Explanation:

neutron star, any of a class of extremely dense, compact stars thought to be composed primarily of neutrons. Neutron stars are typically about 20 km (12 miles) in diameter. Their masses range between 1.18 and 1.97 times that of the Sun, but most are 1.35 times that of the Sun.

What are the components of friction?

Tresset [83]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

Friction:

When an object slips on a surface, an opposing force acts between the tangent planes which acts in the opposite direction of motion. This opposing force is called Friction. Or in other words, Friction is the opposing force that opposes the motion between two surfaces.

The main component of friction are:

Normal Reaction (R):

Suppose a block is placed on a table in the above picture, which is in resting state, then two forces are acting on it at that time.

The first is due to its weight mg which is working from its center of gravity towards the vertical bottom.

The second one is superimposed vertically upwards by the table on the block, called the reaction force (P). This force passes through the center of gravity of the block.

Due to P = mg, the box is in equilibrium position on the table.

Coefficient of friction ( μ ):

The ratio of the force of friction and the reaction force is called the coefficient of friction.

Coefficient of friction, µ = force of friction / reaction force

μ = F / R

The coefficient of friction is volume less and dimensionless.

Its value is between 0 to 1.

Advantage and disadvantage from friction force:

The advantage of the force of friction is that due to friction, we can walk on the earth without slipping.
Brakes in all vehicles are due to the force of friction.
We can write on the board only because of the force of friction.
The disadvantage of this force is that due to friction, some parts of energy are lost in the machines and there is wear and tear on the machines.

How to reduce friction:

Using lubricants (oil or grease) in machines.
Friction can be reduced by using ball bearings etc.
Using a soap solution and powder.

Consider a transformer. used to recharge rechargeable flashlight batteries, that has 500 turns in its primary coil, 3 turns in i

Rashid [163]

Answer:

a) 0.72 V

b) 19.2 mA

c) 2.304 Watts

Explanation:

A transformer is used to step-up or step-down voltage and current. It uses the principle of electromagnetic induction. When the primary coil is greater than the secondary coil, the it is a step-down transformer, and when the primary coil is less than the secondary coil, the it is a step-up transformer.

number of primary turns = $N_{p}$ = 500 turns
