Which list of properties of alternation current is the most likely reason it was chosen over direct current to provide electrici

Physics

Paraphin [41]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

- Direct current is a current in which electrons flow in one direction only

- Alternating current is a current in which the direction of the electron flow reverses periodically - so, half a cycle forward, half a cycle backward

There are several advantages of using alternating currents for the transmission of electricity across a country, over large distances. The main advantages are:

- The voltage of alternating currents can be easily increased/decreased by using transformers. For instance, a transformer is used at the beginning of the transmission line to increase the voltage (electricity is transmitted at high voltage in order to reduce dissipated power), and then another transformer is used before the electricity enters the houses, in order to decrease the voltage. Transformers only work with alternating currents.

- It is easy to interrupt the flow of an alternating current, because its value naturally becomes zero every half a cycle, so this is useful in case the current must be interrupted.

A box weighing 200N is pushed on a horizontal floor. What acceleration will result if a horizontal force of 100N is applied on t
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

the friction force in the reverse direction is 200 *0.4=80 N.

the net forward force acting on the box is therefore

Fnet= 100 - 80  N

= 20 N

acceleration = Fnet / mass

=Fnet *g/(weight)

=20 *9.8/200 = 0.98 m/s^2

You decide to roll a 0.11-kgkg ball across the floor so slowly that it will have a small momentum and a large de Broglie wavelen
Oksanka [162]

The de Broglie wavelength \lambda = 4.0\times 10^{-30}m

We know that

de Broglie wavelength = \lambda = \frac{h}{mv}\lambda = \frac{6.63\times 10^{-34}}{0.11\times 1.5 \times 10 ^{-3}}

\lambda = 4.0\times 10^{-30}m

<h3>What is de Broglie wavelength?</h3>

According to the de Broglie equation, matter can behave like waves, much like how light and radiation do, which are both waves and particles. A beam of electrons can be diffracted just like a beam of light, according to the equation. The de Broglie equation essentially clarifies the notion of matter having a wavelength.

Therefore, whether a particle is tiny or macroscopic, it will have a wavelength when examined.

The wave nature of matter can be seen or observed in the case of macroscopic objects.

<h3>No:1</h3>

The object is moving with constant or uniform acceleration and in average speed

<h3>No:-2</h3>

The object is de accelerating

<h3>No:-3</h3>

The object deaccelerated and came to rest so fast.

<h3>No:-4</h3>

The object moves slowly first then accelerated.

<h3>No:-5</h3>

The object accelerated at first so fast then move with constant acceleration then again accelerated .
