Answer:

C) High voltage to low voltage

Explanation:

At a power plant, there is a production of electricity at a high voltage compared to the voltage provided to our home.

Voltage of about 12 KV is produced by power plant which is then converted into about 400 KV or greater (depending upon the countries) to transfer electricity from power plant to city Grid station using Step-up transformer. At City Grid station, Step-down transformer is used to convert high voltage (about 400 KV) to low voltage (about 13 KV) to transfer electricity from grid station to the city. Then this low voltage (about 13 KV) again converted to 220 V using Step-down transformer for household usage. So, overall  about 12 KV voltage at power plant is converted into 220 V for household usage using step-up and step-down transformer at different stages.

The faintest sound an ear can hear (20 micro-pascals) is roughly ______ times smaller than atmospheric pressure at sea level.
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer: 5.06\times10^{9}

At sea level, there is one standard atmospheric pressure which is equal to 101.325 kilopascals.

The pressure of faintest sound that a human ear can hear is 20 micro-pascals.

taking the ratio of two:

\frac {101.325 kilopascals. }{20 micropascals} = \frac {101.325 \times 10^{3}Pa}{20 \times 10^{-6}Pa}

=5.06\times10^{9}

Hence, the atmospheric pressure at sea level is 5.06\times10^{9} times greater than the faintest sound that a human ear can hear.

A sphere with a charge q is fixed at the bottom left corner of the right triangle shown in the figure. Points P and R are at the
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

the final potential energy of this system is 3U0/10

Explanation:

We are given

charge at left end  and another test charge at point p

Potential energy is given by  = \frac{k*Q1*Q2 }{R}

where k is electrostatics constant = 9 *10^9

Q1 = first charge , Q2=  test charge

R= distance between charges

potential at point p

U0 = k*Q1*Q2 /3 ⇒ kq1q2 = 3U0 ..............1

now the test charge moves to point R

using Pytahgoreou theorem

R(distance) = \sqrt{8^2 + 6^2} = 10

New Potential energy

U1 = kq1*q2 / 10

substituting  kq1q2 = 3U0 from 1

U1 = 3U0/10

So this is the final potential energy of this system.

How can you use the graph of velocity versus time to estimate the acceleration of the ball?
kenny6666 [7]

Answer: acceleration = slope  graph velocity vs time

Explanation: if you have the graph of velocity vs time , the slope of that graph equals the acceleration of our object assuming constant acceleration...but remenber por a real object is really hard to keep constant acceleration

A hydraulic machine has a small piston and a larger piston. Explain how a hydraulic machine multiplies force? What happens to th
Tanya [424]

Answer:

Explanation:

Pressure is equal to the force divided by the area on which it acts. Since the smaller piston has less area so from less force also we can get more efficiency in work. And according to the Pascal's principle, in a hydraulic system, pressure exerted on a piston produces an equal increase in pressure on another piston in the system. Thus by applying little force in the smaller piston, we can get same force from larger piston too. A hydraulic machine magnifies force.
