A transformer has an input voltage of 4V, an output voltage of 8V and 50 turns on its primary coil. Assuming 100% efficiency, find the number of turns on the secondary coil.

Using Vp/Vs=Np/Ns, we can rearrange to get Ns= (VsNp)/VpSo, Ns = 8*50/4=100 turns.

A projectile is launched from ground level with a speed of 25 m/s at an angle of 42° to the horizontal. What is the horizontal distance from the starting point of the projectile when it hits the ground?

Resolve the vertical velocity of the projectile (25sin42) and use v=u+at where v=-25sin42m/s, u=25sin42m/s, a=-9.8m/s/s to find t. t= (50sin42)/9.8= 3.41sResolve horizontal velocity (25cos42) and multiply...

A tractor pulls a plough 2km across a field using a constant force of 8N, what is the work done by the tractor?

Work done= F x d; where d= distance object has been moved through in same direction of force and F= resultant force. F=8 N.d=2 x 1000 m.WD = 2000 x 8 = 16000 J

What is the difference between current and voltage?

The current is the number of electrons flowing through the wire per second. The voltage however, is the amount of energy each individual electron is carrying as it moves through the wire.

A kettle has a 55% energy efficiency. The input energy for the kettle is 378,000 J per boil. Calculate the amount of energy dissipated in 5 boils.

Energy used for one boil = (3.78 x 105 / 100) x 55Energy used for one boil = 2.079 x 105 J Energy lost per boil = 3.78 x 105 -2.079 x 105Energy lost per boil = ...
