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.

Complete Question

Answer:

a

The torque produced by the pile of rocks is \tau = 35.63\ N \cdot m  

b

The distance of the single for equilibrium to occur is r_s =1.62 \ m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The mass of the left rock is  m_s = 2.25 \ kg

     The mass of the rock on the right m_p = 10.1 kg

    The distance from  fulcrum to the center of the pile of rocks is  r_p = 0.360 \ m

   

Generally the torque produced by the pile of rock is mathematically represented as

           \tau = m_p * g * r_p

Substituting values

         \tau = 10.1 * 9.8  * 0.360                  

          \tau = 35.63\ N \cdot m      

Generally we can mathematically evaluated the distance of the the single rock that would put the system in equilibrium as follows

   The torque due to the single rock is

           \tau = m_s  * g * r_s

At equilibrium the both torque are equal

            35.63 = m_s * r_s * g

Making r_s the subject of the formula

             r_s = \frac{35.63 }{m_s * g}

Substituting values

            r_s = \frac{35.63 }{2.25 * 9.8}

            r_s =1.62 \ m

WITCHER [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

If it is totally absorbed pressure is calculated as follows .

Pressure = I / c where I is intensity of light falling .

= 1000 / 3 x 10⁸

= 3.33 x 10⁻⁶ N / m²

b ) weight of tritium atom

=  3 x 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷ kg

acceleration = force / mass

=    3.33x 10⁻⁶ / 3 x 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷

= .6646 x 10²¹ m /s²

= 66.46 x 10¹⁹ m / s²
