Why are household wall sockets alternating current (AC) instead of direct current (DC)? Select all that apply.

Bond [772]

Answer:

It is easier to scale the voltage of AC from high to low and low to high than with DC

Explanation:

typically power is used far away from the place where it's generated so to ensure that transmission losses( copper losses) are minimized voltage has to be stepped up during transmission..but due to the fact that most house hold equipment requires low voltage levels it has to be stepped down once it reaches a household/ domestic load...it's easier to do this for Ac than for DC.

A runner accelerated to 4 m/s^2 for 20 seconds before winning the race.How far did he/she run?

creativ13 [48]

Answer:

s=800 m

Explanation:

Given that,

Acceleration of a runner, a = 4 m/s²

Time, t = 20 seconds

We need to find the distance covered by her. Initially, she was at rest. It means its initial velocity is equal to 0. So, using second equation of motion as follows :

$s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2$

Herre, u = 0

$s=\dfrac{1}{2}at^2\\\\s=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 4\times (20)^2\\\\s=800\ m$

So, she will cover a distance of 800 m.

You throw a ball upward with a speed of 14m/s. What is the acceleration of the ball after it leaves your hand? Ignore air resist

omeli [17]

The acceleration of the ball after leaving the hand is $9.8 m/s^2$ downward

Explanation:

In order to find the acceleration of the ball during its motion, we have to study which forces are acting on it.

After the ball leaves the hand, if we neglect air resistance, there is only one force acting on the ball: the force of gravity, whose magnitude is

$F=mg$

where m is the mass of the ball and g is the acceleration of gravity ( $g=9.8 m/s^2$ ), acting in the downward direction.

According to Newton's second law, the acceleration of the ball is given by

$a=\frac{\sum F}{m}$

where

$\sum F$ is the net force acting on the ball

After the ball leaves the hand, the only force acting on it is the force of gravity, so we can substitute (mg) into the previous equation:

$a=\frac{mg}{m}=g=9.8 m/s^2$

This means that the acceleration of the ball remains $9.8 m/s^2$ downward for the entire motion, after leaving the hand.

How does the sun's energy most directly influence precipitation in an area?

topjm [15]

The sun's energy influences climate in various ways. For example the latitudes at the equator receive more energy from the sun and therefore have warmer temperatures, On the other hand the sun's energy influences precipitation in a climate by driving the water cycle which determines precipitation.The sun is what makes the water cycle take place. That is the sun provides energy or heat to the earth; the heat causes liquid and frozen water to evaporate into water vapor gas, which rises high in the sky to form clouds ( precipitation), that in turn give us rain
