Answer: To reduce resistance in order to achieve high efficiency of electrical transmission.

Explanation: Given that the

Power P = Current I^2 x Resistance R

That is,

P = I^2 × R

Also, remember that

P = IV

Where V = voltage.

Looking at the power equations above, we can explain why transmitting electricity at a very high voltage is beneficial. Because Transmitting at very high voltage will make current to be transmitted or flow through the wire with a very small magnitude. Since Voltage is inversely proportional to current from the formula

P = IV

Electricity will flow in any diameter of cable use with a low resistance thereby, increasing the efficiency of the electricity transmission by reducing the heat that might be generated as a result of electrical resistance during the course of transmission.

How many neutrons does element X have if its atomic number is 23 and its mass number is 90?
givi [52]

Answer:

67

Explanation:

- The atomic number (Z) of an atom is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus

- The mass number (A) of an atom is equal to the sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus

Therefore, calling p the number of protons and n the number of neutrons, for element X we have:

Z = p = 23

A = p + n = 90

Substituting p=23 into the second equation, we find the number of neutrons:

n = 90 - p = 90 - 23 = 67

A Ford Mustang weighs about 3500 pounds, and can accelerate from 0-60 MPH in about 5 seconds. What force is responsible for this
Hunter-Best [27]

We will apply the concepts related to Newton's second law. At the same time we will convert everything to the system of international units.

m = 3500lb = 1587.57kg

The values of the velocities are,

\text{Initial Velocity} = V_i = 0

\text{Final Velocity} = V_f = 60mph = 26.822m/s

We know that the acceleration is equivalent to the change of the speed in a certain time therefore

a = \frac{v_f-v_i}{t}

a = \frac{26.822-0}{5}

a = 5.36m/s^2

Now applying the Newton's second law we have,

F= ma

F = (1587.57)(5.36)

F = 8516.36N

Therefore the approximate magnitude is 8516.36N
