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.

KonstantinChe [14]

Complete Question

The schematics is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

For single pane is  Q  =1.96 *10^{4}} \  W  

For  double pane is  Q_2  = 120 \  W

Explanation:

Generally the heat loss through  a single pane is mathematically represented by  Fourier’s law as

      Q  =  k_g *  H^2  *  \frac{ T_1 - T_2 }{L}

=>    Q  =  1.4  *  2^2 *  \frac{ 15 -(-20)  }{ 5 *  \frac{1 \ m}{1000 \ mm}}

=>    Q  =1.96 *10^{4}} \  W        

Generally the heat loss through  a double pane is mathematically represented by  Fourier’s law as

      Q_2  =  k_a *  H^2  *  \frac{ T_1 - T_2 }{L}

=>    Q_2  =  0.024  *  2^2 *  \frac{ 10 -(-15)  }{ 10 *  \frac{1 \ m}{1000 \ mm}}

=>    Q_2  = 120 \  W

What can we conclude from the attractive nature of the force between a positively charged rod and an object?
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

E; The object is negatively charged

Explanation:

Here, we want to state the conclusion that can be drawn from a positively charged rod being attracted to an object.

Generally as we know, oppositely charged materials attract while the ones with same charges repel each other.

Thus, in this case, for the rod to attract the object, there must have been an opposite charge of negativity on the object

So we conclude that the reason why the rod attracted the object was because of the presence of opposing charges on both of them. And since the rod has taken the positive charge, it is only correct to state that the object is negatively charged

What does a motion diagram represent? ​
Stels [109]

Answer:

A motion diagram represents the motion of an object by displaying its location at various equally spaced times on the same diagram. Motion diagrams are a pictorial description of an object's motion. They show an object's position and velocity initially, and present several spots in the center of the diagram.

James Bond is trying to escape his enemy on a speedboat but
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

100 m/s

Explanation:

Mass the mass of Bond's boat is m₁. His enemy's boat is twice the mass of Bond's i.e. m₂ = 2 m₁

Initial speed of Bond's boat is 0 as it won't start and remains stationary in the water. The initial speed of enemy's boat is 50 m/s. After the collision, enemy boat is  completely stationary. Let v₁ is speed of bond's boat.

It is the concept of the conservation of momentum. It remains conserved. So,

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2

Putting all the values, we get :

0+(2m_1)50=m_1v_1+(2m_2)(0)\\\\100m_1=m_1v_1\\\\v_1=100\ m/s

So, Bond's boat is moving with a speed of 100 m/s after the collision.
