A transformer has 300 turns of wire in the primary coil and 30 turns in the secondary coil. If the input voltage is 100 volts, the input voltage is

5 volts

10 volts

15 volts

20 volts

Detalhes da Resposta

The voltage in the secondary coil of a transformer is proportional to the ratio of the number of turns in the secondary coil to the number of turns in the primary coil. Since the secondary coil has 30 turns and the primary coil has 300 turns, the voltage in the secondary coil will be 1/10th of the voltage in the primary coil. Therefore, if the input voltage is 100 volts, the output voltage in the secondary coil would be 100 / 10 = 10 volts.

If a source of solid is moving, a stationary listener will hear a sound of different frequency. This is called?

doppler effect

resonance

ultra sound

rarefaction

Detalhes da Resposta

The phenomenon you're referring to is known as the Doppler effect. Simply put, the Doppler effect is a change in the frequency of a wave (such as sound or light) as the source of the wave moves relative to an observer. For example, if a car is approaching you, the sound of its horn will seem to have a higher frequency (or pitch) than if it were stationary or moving away from you. This is because as the car moves towards you, the sound waves are compressed, causing an increase in the frequency that you hear. Conversely, if the car is moving away from you, the sound waves will be stretched out, causing a decrease in the frequency that you hear. This is why the sound of a siren on an ambulance moving away from you seems to get lower and lower as it gets further away. So in short, the Doppler effect is a change in the frequency of sound (or any other wave) that occurs when the source of the wave is moving relative to an observer.

A hydrometer is an instrument for measuring the

relative density of a liquid by the method of flotation

relative density of a liquid by finding the apparent loss in weight

relative humidity of the air

Detalhes da Resposta

A hydrometer is an instrument for measuring the relative density of a liquid by the method of flotation. A hydrometer works by measuring the weight of a liquid in relation to the weight of an equal volume of water. The relative density of a liquid can be determined by floating the hydrometer in the liquid and measuring the level at which it floats. The hydrometer is calibrated so that the level at which it floats indicates the relative density of the liquid. The relative density of a liquid is important because it can affect the behavior of the liquid, such as its ability to mix with other liquids, its ability to dissolve solids, and its behavior under different conditions, such as temperature and pressure. Understanding the relative density of a liquid is important in many industries, including the chemical, pharmaceutical, and food industries.

The velocity of light in the liquid can be calculated using the formula for the refractive index (n) of a medium: v = c / n, where c is the velocity of light in a vacuum and n is the refractive index of the medium. In this case, n = 1.5, so the velocity of light in the liquid would be v = 3.0 x 10^8 m/s / 1.5 = 2.0 x 10^8 m/s. Therefore, the velocity of light in the liquid is 2.0 x 10^8 m/s

A. 5.165cm

5.160cm

Detalhes da Resposta

The most likely reading for the length of a metal rod using vernier callipers would be 5.160cm. This is because vernier callipers usually have a scale with increments of 0.1mm, and 5.160cm is the closest reading to 5.16cm, which would be the smallest increment that can be accurately measured using vernier callipers.
The other options, 5.165cm and 5.0cm, may not be as accurate as they do not match up with the smallest increment that can be measured using vernier callipers.

Detalhes da Resposta

The temperature of the room in degrees Celsius is 30.43°C.
A Mercury-in-glass thermometer works by measuring the expansion of mercury in a glass tube as the temperature increases. The lower fixed point is typically the point where the mercury is at its minimum and the upper fixed point is where the mercury is at its maximum. In this case, the lower fixed point is at 0°C and the upper fixed point is at 30°C, and the mercury is 210mm above the lower fixed point. So, the temperature of the room must be 30.43°C.

The expansion of water is anomalous between 0°C to 4°C. This means that in this temperature range, the density of water actually decreases as the temperature increases. This is different from most substances, which typically become less dense when they are heated and expand. The anomalous behavior of water in this temperature range makes it a critical factor in many biological and physical processes on Earth.

Detalhes da Resposta

High tension transmission refers to the transmission of electrical power at high voltage levels. High voltage allows for the transmission of electrical power over long distances with reduced losses, as less current is needed to transmit the same amount of power at high voltage. Therefore, high tension transmission can be described as high voltage and low current. This corresponds to: Low current and high voltage. In contrast, low tension transmission refers to the transmission of electrical power at low voltage levels, typically in the range of 110-240 volts. This type of transmission typically requires higher current levels to transmit the same amount of power.

Detalhes da Resposta

The period of a pendulum is the time it takes for one complete cycle of swinging back and forth. The period of a simple pendulum is determined by the length of the pendulum and the acceleration due to gravity. If the length of the pendulum is increased by a factor of four, then the period of the pendulum will also increase by a factor of two. This is because the period of a simple pendulum is proportional to the square root of its length. So, if the length of the pendulum is increased by a factor of four, the period will increase by a factor of the square root of four, which is equal to two. Therefore, the answer is 2.
