. Common household appliances are rated at 110 V, but power companies deliver voltage in the kilovolt range and then step the vo

ltage down using transformers to 110 V to be used in homes. You will learn in later chapters that transformers consist of many turns of wire, which warm up as current flows through them, wasting some of the energy that is given off as heat. This sounds inefficient. Why do the power companies transport electric power using this method

Answer: High voltage transmission minimizes energy losses during electricity transmission.

Explanation:

When electricity is to be transmitted over a long distance, high voltage transmission is preferred to minimize energy losses due to heat.

The higher the transmission voltage, the lower the current and the lesser the resitance in the wire and the lesser the energy lost due to heat during transmission.

High voltage transmission in kilowatts enables light weight cables to be used for long distance electricity transmission.

This explains why, even though only 110 V may be required at home by some appliances, but electricity is transmitted in kilovolts and often require a stepdown transformer

Which property do metalloids share with nonmetals
laiz [17]
Metalloids are all solid at room temperature. Some metalloids, such as silicon and germanium, can act as electrical conductors under the right conditions, thus they are called semi-conductors. Silicon for example appears lustrous, but is not malleable or ductile (it is brittle - a characteristic of some nonmetals).

Find the speed of light in each of the following materials. (a) gallium phosphide m/s (b) carbon disulfide m/s (c) benzene
Oksanka [162]

Explanation:

We need to calculate the speed of light in each materials

(I). Gallium phosphide,

The index of refraction of Gallium phosphide is 3.50

Using formula of speed of light

v=\dfrac{c}{\mu}....(I)

Where, \mu = index of refraction

c = speed of light

Put the value into the formula

v=\dfrac{3\times10^{8}}{3.50}

v=8.6\times10^{7}\ m/s

(II) Carbon disulfide,

The index of refraction of Gallium phosphide is 1.63

Put the value in the equation (I)

v=\dfrac{3\times10^{8}}{1.63}

v=1.8\times10^{8}\ m/s

(III). Benzene,

The index of refraction of Gallium phosphide is 1.50

Put the value in the equation (I)

v=\dfrac{3\times10^{8}}{1.50}

v=2\times10^{8}\ m/s

Hence, This is the required solution.

Where is the potential energy equal to zero?
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

im sure your already past this but it's E.

Explanation:

This is because in this case potential energy is linear to height, which means that the higher the more potential energy.

Select the correct location on the image.
slega [8]

Answer:

orange line

Explanation:

it is the only straight line that makes sense. curved lines imply velocity changed. and the completly flat green line implies the vehicle didn't move since its position value stayed the same. must be the downward pointing orange line
