A physics student wants to make a home-made transformer which will produce an output voltage of 5 volts when he plugs the transformer into the wall socket (the voltage at the wall socket is 110 volts). To do this he first wraps 250 turns of normal wire around an iron rod. (This is the primary side of the transformer.) This wire can carry a maximum of 1 Ampere. He then wraps a second coil (the secondary coil) around the iron rod made up of larger wire. a. Assuming an ideal transformer, how many turns of this heavier wire will he need to make in order to provide an output voltage in the secondary of 5 volts? b. What maximum current can be drawn from the secondary of this transformer - assuming that the wires in the secondary could handle that much current.

The long wire carries a constant current of 10 Amperes moving from right to left, as shown in the diagram. At some instant in time, the current in the long wire decreases to 5 Amperes. a.

Physics 202 Exam III 7 9. A 100 gram mass is attached to a spring so that the mass will slide back and forth on the top of a frictionless table. The spring constant is 1000 N/m.

Physics 202 Exam III 8 11. A frog weighing 200 grams hops onto a decorative metal leaf (in the shape of a lilly pad leaf) in the flower garden. This metal leaf (with a mass of 100 grams) is mounted on a spring, so that when the frog first hops on, this leaf-frog-spring system oscillates with a frequency of 3 Hz. While sitting on this decorative leaf the frog satiates himself by catching various critters which are flying around a nearby solar light. As he eats more and more bugs, his mass slowly increases. Each time he flicks out his tongue to catch a bug, the leaf he sits on oscillates up and down for a few seconds (oscillating more slowly each time he catches another meal). After some time, the frog, who is now quite full and heavy, makes one final attempt to catch a last morsel - but because he is so full and tired, he misses. The leaf and frog, however, once more begin to oscillate because of this last ditch effort. The oscillation frequency now is 2.9 Hz. a) Determine the spring constant of the spring. b) Determine the mass of bugs that the frog at that night. [Hint: You can solve this independent of the actual value of the spring constant so that your answer will not depend upon the answer in (a). ]
