The answer is The ability to carry power across long distances.  The movement of electrical current is constantly reversing direction.AC current reverses direction 60 times per second. It is very easy to adjust the voltage of AC using a device known as a transformer. P<span>ower companies can transmit power at extremely high voltage levels and then transform the voltage down to 120 volts inside the house.</span> The ability to carry power across long distances was the most important advantage of AC over DC.

You obtain a 100-W light bulb and a 50-W light bulb. Instead of connecting them in the normal way, you devise a circuit that pla
lesantik [10]

Answer:

When they are connected in series

     The  50 W bulb glow more than the 100 W bulb

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The power rating  of the first bulb is P_1  = 100 \ W

      The power rating of the second bulb is  P_2  =  50 \ W

     

Generally the power rating of the first bulb is mathematically represented as

      P_1  =  V^2 R

Where  V is the normal household voltage which is constant for both bulbs

  So  

        R_1  =  \frac{V^2}{P_1 }

substituting values

        R_1  =  \frac{V^2}{100}

Thus the resistance of the second bulb would be evaluated as

       R_2  =  \frac{V^2}{50}

From the above calculation we see that

        R_2  >  R_1

This power rating of the first bulb can also be represented mathematically as  

        P_  1  =  I^2_1  R_1

This power rating of the first bulb can also be represented mathematically as    

       P_  2  =  I^2_2 R_2

Now given that they are connected in series which implies that the same current flow through them so

       I_1^2 =  I_2^2

This means  that

       P \ \alpha  \  R

So  when they are connected in series

     P_2  >  P_1

This means that the 50 W bulb glows more than the 100 \ W bulb

A man at point A directs his rowboat due north toward point B, straight across a river of width 100 m. The river current is due
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

1.35208 m/s

Explanation:

Speed of the boat = 0.75 m/s

Distance between the shores = 100 m

Time = Distance / Speed

Time=\frac{100}{0.75}=133.33\ s

Time taken by the boat to get across is 133.33 seconds

Point C is 150 m from B

Speed = Distance / Time

Speed=\frac{150}{\frac{100}{0.75}}=1.125\ m/s

Velocity of the water is 1.125 m/s

From Pythagoras theorem

c=\sqrt{0.75^2+1.125^2}\\\Rightarrow c=1.35208\ m/s

So, the man's velocity relative to the shore is 1.35208 m/s

Would it be true that if you double the distance of an astronaut from a planet, the gravitational pull between them would be hal
velikii [3]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Newton's law of universal gravitation is usually stated that every particle attracts every other particle in the universe with a force which is directly proportional to the product of their masses(m1 and m2) and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers(r).

F = Gm1m2/r²

This is a general physical law derived from

empirical observations by what Isaac Newton called inductive reasoning.

when distance is doubled the gravitational force will be reduced by quarter not half.

Why must the electric field be normal to the surface at every point of a charged conductor?
solong [7]
-- If the field were inclined to the surface, then it would have
some component parallel to the surface. 

-- Then, since we're talking about a conductor, the charges
on the object would move in response to that component
of the field, until there was no longer any component of the
field trying to move them.
