    Input and output voltages of a transformer?

    Heres how u do the problem... First let me tell u the basics of a transformer. A transformer is a mutual inductance based device that transfers power from one part to the other. It does so by virtue of stepping up the voltage or the current. i.e VI = constant. So if the input voltage...

    Speed of Light?

    The speed of light is always a constant irrespective of the frame of reference or medium. The apparent slowing down of light due to refraction is due to the fact that the atoms inside the medium absorb the light and then emit the light after some time delay. This time delay in the transmission...

    Tension force

    No the accln is not and will not be greater than g: This is because, the weight of both the bodies will act downwards while the accln on the lighte body due to the heavier body will act upwards. (Get the picture?) Hence the force eqtn wil be like this: m_{1} * g - T = m_{2}*(g-a) So...

    Tension force

    I'll just give you a small hint. The Masses are suspended from the pulley on either side of the uplley. So the heavier mass is going to exert a force F on the lighter mass and will try to make it move towards itself. This force exerted by the heavier mass - tension will be equal to the force on...
