Answer:

An insulator opposes the flow of electricity. Insulators are important to keep us safe from electricity. The wire that carries electricity to your computer or television is covered with a rubber-like insulator that protects you from getting electrocuted. Good insulators include glass, the air, and paper.

Complete Question

A radio technician measures the frequency of an AM radio transmitter. The frequency is 14603 kHz . What is the frequency in megahertz? Write your answer as a decimal.

Answer:

The value is  x =  14.6 \  MHz

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The  frequency is  f =  14603  \  kHz = 14603 *1000 = 14603000 \ Hz

Generally  

       1 Hz \to  1.0 *10^{-6} \  MHz

       14603000 \ Hz  \to x MHz

=>   x =  \frac{14603000 *  1.0*10^{-6}}{1 }

=>    x =  14.6 \  MHz

The pulley system below uses a gasoline engine to raise a drill head up through a smooth drill pipe. The engine provides a const
polet [3.4K]

NB: The diagram of the pulley system is not shown but the information provided is sufficient to answer the question

Answer:

Power = 2702.56 W

Explanation:

Let the power consumed be P

Energy expended = E = mgh

height, h = 5 m

E = 80 * 9.8 * 5

E = 3920 J

Power = \frac{Energy}{time}

To calculate the time, t

From F = ma

F = 900 N

900 = 80 a

a = 900/80

a = 11.25 m/s²

From the equation of motion, s = ut + 0.5at^{2}

The drill head starts from rest, u = 0 m/s

5 = 0 * t + (0.5*11.25*t^{2} )\\5 = 5.625t^{2}\\t^{2} = 5/5.625\\t^{2} = 0.889\\t = 0.943 s

Power, P = E/t

P = 3920/0.0.943

P = 4157.79 W

But Efficiency, E = 0.65

P = 0.65 * 4157.79

Power = 2702.56 W
