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.

Identify which best describes the energy used to pluck guitar strings to make sound.
Novay_Z [31]
<span>The correct answer is: Mechanical Energy

Explanation:
As the guitar strings are plunked, the potential energy stored in the strings has an ability to make them vibrate. When the strings are vibrating, that potential energy is actually converted to the kinetic energy. Hence, the whole phenomena contains both the kinetic energy and the potential energy. The sum of kinetic energy and the potential energy is called Mechanical energy. Therefore, the correct answer is Mechanical Energy.</span>

Calculate the entropy change that occurs when 1.0kg of water at 20.00 C is mixed with 2.0kg of water at 80.00 C
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

The change in entropy ΔS = 0.0011 kJ/(kg·K)

Explanation:

The given information are;

The mass of water at 20.0°C = 1.0 kg

The mass of water at 80.0°C = 2.0 kg

The heat content per kg of each of the mass of water is given as follows;

The heat content of the mass of water at 20.0°C = h₁ = 83.92 KJ/kg

The heat content of the mass of water at 80.0°C = h₂ = 334.949 KJ/kg

Therefore, the total heat of the the two bodies = 83.92 + 2*334.949 = 753.818 kJ/kg

The heat energy of the mixture =

1 × 4200 × (T - 20) = 2 × 4200 × (80 - T)

∴ T = 60°C

The heat content, of the water at 60° = 251.154 kJ/kg

Therefore, the heat content of water in the 3 kg of the mixture = 3 × 251.154 = 753.462

The change in entropy ΔS = ΔH/T = (753.818 - 753.462)/(60 + 273.15) = 0.0011 kJ/(kg·K).

An artillery shell is fired with an initial velocity of 300 m/s at 55.0° above the horizontal. It explodes on a mountainside 42.
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

x=7227

y=1678

(7227,1678)

Explanation:

Ok, check the picture I attached you, because of the problem don't give us aditional information, let's asume that the projectile is fired from an initial position x=0 and y=0. Now let's use projectile motion equations, but firs let's find the initial velocity components in x-axis and y-axis:

v_ox=v_o*cos(\theta_o)=300*cos(55)=172.0729309m/s

v_oy=v_o*sin(\theta_o)=300*sin(55)=245.7456133m/s

Now, let's find the x coordinate with this equation:

x-x_o=x-0=x=v_ox*t=172.0729309*42=7227.063098m

Finally asumming a gravity constant g=9.8, let's find the y coordinate with the next equation:

y-y_o=y-0=y=v_oy*t-\frac{1}{2}*g*t^{2} =(245.7456133*42)-\frac{42^{2} *9.8}{2}

y=10321.31576-8643.6=1677.71576m
