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.

An engine is used to lift a beam weighing 9,800 N up to 145 m. How much work must the engine do to lift this beam? How much work
Arturiano [62]

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight of the engine used to lift a beam, W = 9800 N

Distance, d = 145 m

Work done by the engine to lift the beam is given by :

W = F d

W=9800\ N\times 145\ m\\\\W=1421000\ J\\\\W=1421\ kJ

Let W' is the work must be done to lift it 290 m. It is given by :

W'=9800\ N\times 290\ m\\\\W'=2842000\ J\\\\W'=2842\ kJ

Hence, this is the required solution.

Which wavelength produces fluorescence? Why do you think this wavelength produces fluorescence while the other does not?
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

Long wavelength

Explanation:

Wavelengths that corresponds to the bands of blue and red are strongly absorbed whereas the wavelengths that lie in the mid-range corresponds to green light that are absorbed weakly.

Fluorescence produced is always directed towards longer wavelengths of the spectra as compared to the corresponding spectra for absorption.
