In this example we will see how a transformer can be used to change the voltage output of a wall receptacle. A friend returns from Europe with a device that she claims to be the world's greatest coffee maker. Unfortunately, it was designed to operate from a 240 V line, standard in Europe. At this rms voltage, the coffee draws 1500 W of power. (a) If your friend wants to operate the coffee maker in the United States, where the rms line voltage is 120 V, what turns ratio does her transformer need to have for the coffee maker to work

In a bumper car arena, two cars of equal mass are heading straight toward each other. the orange one is traveling at a speed of 5 meters per second. the green one is traveling at a speed of 2 meters per second. which of the forces most affects the motion of the bumper cars after they collide? a) gravity b) friction c) the other car d) wind resistance

Why is there friction between objects

The key to stability is feedback between the reservoir and the fluxes into and/or out of the reservoir. assume that the rate of outflow from a reservoir depends on the size of the reservoir according to the following relationship: outflow rate= k x (size of reservoir), where k is a constant. a reservoir of water has a volume of 5000 liters, and the rate of outflow at steady state is 25 liters per minute. what is k? (give both the numerical value and its units.) what is the residence time? what is the relationship between k and the residence time?
