Answer:

it lowers the voltage in homes

Explanation:

this is due to safety reasons as a human cant survive power line voltages which are between 150k and 760k and if you plugged anything short of a piece of 1 inch thick wire not counting insulation it would immediately start smoking and burn the cable.

Answer:

Sample Response: High-voltage current enters the primary winding, which induces a magnetic field in the core. The magnetic field induces a current in the secondary winding. The voltage in the secondary winding is lower because it has fewer coils than the primary winding.

Lúc 7g bạn an đi từ nhà đến trường với tóc độ trung bình là 20km/h . Bạn đến trường lúc 7g20. Tính khoảng cách từ nhà tới trường
Len [333]

Answer:

Distance = 6.667 kilometres

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Speed = 20 km/h

Departure time = 7:00

Arrival time = 7:20

Time taken = 20 minutes

To calculate the distance travelled from home to school;

First of all, we would have to convert the value of time in minutes to hours.

Conversion:

60 minutes = 1 hour

20 minutes = X hours

Cross-multiplying, we have;

X = 20/60 = 1/3 hours

Mathematically, the distance travelled by an object is calculated by using the formula;

Distance = speed * time

Distance = 20 * 1/3

Distance = 20/3 =

Distance = 6.667 kilometres

A ball is thrown horizontally from the top of a 60.0-m building and lands 100.0 m from the base of thebuilding. Ignore air resis
Bumek [7]

Answer:

a)3.5s

b)28.57m/S

c)34.33m/S

d)44.66m/S

Explanation:

Hello!

we will solve this exercise numeral by numeral

a) to find the time the ball takes in the air we must consider that vertically the ball experiences a movement with constant acceleration whose value is gravity (9.81m / S ^ 2), that the initial vertical velocity is zero, we use the following equation for a body that moves with constant acceleration

Y= VoT+0.5gt^{2}

where

Vo = Initial speed =0

T = time

g=gravity=9.81m/s^2

y = height=60m

solving for time

Y=0.5gt^2\\t=\sqrt{\frac{Y}{0.5g} } \\t=\frac{60}{0.5(9.81)} \\

T=3.5s

b)The horizontal speed remains constant since there is no horizontal acceleration. with the value of the distance traveled (100m) and the time that lasts in the air (3.5s) we estimate the horizontal speed

V=\frac{x}{t} =\frac{100}{3.5}=28.57m/s

c)

to find the final vertical velocity we use the equations for motion with constant velocity as follows

Vf=Vo+g.t    

Vf=0+(9.81 )(3.5)=34.335m/S          

d)Finally, to find the resulting velocity, we add the horizontal and vertical velocities vectorially, this is achieved by finding the square root of the sum of its squares

V=\sqrt{Vx^2+Vy^2} =\sqrt{34.33^2+28.57^2} =44.67m/S
