A hypothesis is a guess based off of previous dater or simply reasoning for the most logical outcome.

A theory is a statement that has evidence and facts supporting it but still has room for change or error.

A law is a proven statement that works in every possible case without exception and will never be disproved (unless it was wrongly named a law in the first place).

State how you agree or disagree with the following statement. A good circuit cannot have internal resistance.

Rashid [163]

Answer: I do

Explanation:

Resistance opposes current thereby reducing the amount of current that flows through a circuit. In other words, it leads to a loss of electrical energy.

Ideally speaking, a good circuit should have no internal resistance as this would lead to more energy having to be supplied to overcome that resistance. External resistance however, is not a bad thing. For instance, oxygen being removed from lightbulbs.

A source emits sound uniformly in all directions. There are no reflections of the sound. At a distance of 12 m from the source,

yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

1.58 W

Explanation:

Since the sound spreads uniformly in all directions, it must be in a form of a circle with radius of 12 m. So the area of the circle is

$A = \pi r^2 = \pi 12^2 = 452.389 m^2$

From the intensity of the sound we can calculate the power at 12 m

$P = AI = 452.389 * 3.5\times10^{-3} = 1.58 W$

What does Electromagnetic induction mean?

mina [271]

Answer:

Electromagnetic introduction is the production of an electromotive force (voltage) across an electrical conductor in a changing magnetic field.

Step up transformers is a transformer in which the output (secondary) voltage is greater than its input (primary) voltage is called a step-up transformer. The step-up transformer decreases the output current for keeping the input and output power of the system equal.

Step down transformer is a transformer in which the output (secondary) voltage is less than its input (primary) voltage is called a step-down transformer. The number of turns on the primary of the transformer is greater than the turn on the secondary of the transformer.

The difference between them:

A transformer is a static device which transfers a.c electrical power from one circuit to the other at the same frequency, but the voltage level is usually changed. For economical reasons, electric power is required to be transmitted at high voltage whereas it has to be utilized at low voltage from a safety point of view. This increase in voltage for transmission and decrease in voltage for utilization can only be achieved by using a step-up and step-down transformer.

Hopefully this helped.

James rode his bike 0.65 hours and traveled 8.45 km. What was his speed?

maria [59]

Speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance)

= ( 8.45 km) / (0.65 hr)

= (8.45 / 0.65) km/hr

= 13 km/hr
