Answer:

This is True

Explanation: The Earth rotates around its own axis, which results in day changing to night and back again. The Earth actually revolves around, or orbits, the sun. One revolution around the sun takes the Earth about 365 days, or one year. Forces at work in the solar system keep the Earth, as well as the other planets, locked into predictable orbits around the sun.

An electric pump rated 1.5 KW lifts 200kg of water through a vertical height of 6m in 10 secs: way is the efficiency of the pump

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

80%

Explanation:

Efficiency = Power output / Power input × 100 %

To calculate efficiency we need to find power output of electric pump.

We can use,

Work done = Energy change

Work done per second = Energy change per second

Work done per second = Power

Therefore, Power = Energy change per second

= Change in potential energy of water per second

=mgh / t

= 200× 10×6 / 10

= 1200 W = 1.2 kW

Now use the first equation to find efficiency,

Efficiency = $\frac{1.2}{1.5}$ × 100%

= 80 %

You're carrying a 3.0-m-long, 24 kg pole to a construction site when you decide to stop for a rest. You place one end of the pol

kozerog [31]

Answer:

$F=133N$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Length $l=3.0m$

Mass $m=24kg$

Distance from Tip $d=35cm$

Generally, the equation for Torque Balance is mathematically given by

$mg(l/2)=F(l-d)$

$2*9.81(3/2)=F(3-35*10^-2)$

Therefore

$F=133N$

A 5 kg ball is sitting on top of a hill. It has a Potential Energy of 6000J. What is the height of the ball?

natali 33 [55]

Explanation:

mass=5 kg

potential energy=6000j

height=?

Now

potential energy =m.g.h

or 6000=5*9.8*h

or 6000=49h

or 6000÷49=h

or h= 122.45m

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.
