Answer: Current = 2 A

Explanation:

Given that an electrical power plant generates electricity with a

current I = 50 A

Potential difference V = 20 000 V

The resistance R will be achieved by Ohms law formula which state that

V = IR

But the power generated will be the product of potential difference and the current

Power P = IV

P = 50 × 20000

P = 1, 000000 W

When the transformer steps up the potential difference to 500 000 V before it is transmitted

Power is always constant.

Using the formula for power again with

V = 500000

1000000 = 500000× I

Make I the subject of formula

Current I = 1000000/500000

Current I = 2 A

Calculate the potential energy at the top of the giant drop if the car weights 1000 kg
bonufazy [111]
The gravitional potential energy, relative to the bottom of the giant drop, in joules, is (9800) times (the height of the drop in meters). That's the PE of the empty car only, not counting any hapless screaming souls who may be trapped in it at that moment.

Which is true?The photoelectric effect occurs only for frequencies below the cutoff frequency, regardless of the intensity.The p
Crank

Answer:

The photoelectric effect occurs only for frequencies above the cutoff frequency, regardless of the intensity.

Explanation:

The photoelectric effect occurs when light is shined on metals such as zinc beyond a certain frequency (the threshold frequency), which causes electrons to escape from the zinc. The electrons which are fleeing are called photo electrons.

Therefore photo electric effect is

The photoelectric effect occurs only for frequencies above the cutoff frequency, regardless of the intensity.

Yo sup??

Average velocity=total distance covered/total time taken

total distance covered=4 + 8=12 miles

total time taken=6 hours

Therefore

average velocity=12/6

=2 miles/hour

Hope this helps

What is an experience from everyday life that appears to support the geocentric model
fomenos
<span>One everyday life experience that seems to support the geocentric model is the rising and setting of the Sun and Moon. The Moon rises and falls because it does revolve around the Earth and so it is easy to assume the same is true for the Sun.</span>
