Two Mississippi companies, Howard Industries and Kuhlman Electric Company, are responsible for most of the transformers and powe

r grids produced in the United States and shipped world-wide.
What role does a transformer play in the supply of electricity over long distances?
A) Transformers decrease voltage so electrical energy can safely be transmitted over long distances through wires.
B) Transformers increase voltage before transmitting electrical energy economically over long distances through wires.
C) Transformers decrease voltage before transmitting electrical energy economically over long distances through wires.
D) Transformers convert nuclear energy to electrical energy before transmitting electrical energy economically over long distances through wires.

<span>B) Transformers increase voltage before transmitting electrical energy economically over long distances through wires.

Transformers are also used at the other end, to decrease the voltage
from the long-distance transmission lines to go into houses.
 
It turns out that if you pump electricity through the wires at a higher voltage
and lower current, then less of it is LOST on the way from the power station
to its destination.

The saving is so great that it more than pays for the big transformers
at each end of the long-distance electric transmission line.

elena55 [62]

Answer:

10.07m/s^2

Explanation:

Information we have:

velocities:

initial velocity: v_{i}=0mph (starts from rest)

final velocity: v_{f}=50mph

time:  t=2.22s

Since we need the answer in m/s^2, we nees to convert the speed to meters per second:

v_{f}=\frac{50miles}{1hour}(\frac{1hour}{3,600s} )(\frac{1609.34meters}{1mile} ) \\\\v_{f}=\frac{50*1609.34}{3600} m/s\\\\v_{f}=22.35m/s

We find the acceleration with the following formula:

a=\frac{v_{f}-v_{i}}{t}

substituting the known values:

a=\frac{22.35m/s-0m/s}{2.22s}\\ \\a=10.07m/s^2

the acceleration is 10.07m/s^2

The Event Horizon Telescope needs a 22 micro-arcsecond resolution to view the event horizon regions around black holes. If the a
likoan [24]

Answer:

14869817.395 m

Explanation:

\theta=22 microarcsecond

λ = Wavelength = 1.3 mm

Converting to radians we get

22\times 10^{-6}\frac{\pi}{180\times 3600}\ radians

From Rayleigh Criterion

\theta=1.22\frac{\lambda}{D}\\\Rightarrow D=1.22\frac{\lambda}{\theta}\\\Rightarrow D=1.22\frac{1.3\times 10^{-3}}{22\times 10^{-6}\frac{\pi}{180\times 3600}}\\\Rightarrow D=14869817.395\ m

Diameter of the effective primary objective is 14869817.395 m

It is not possible to build one telescope with a diameter of 14869817.395 m. But, we need this type of telescope. So, astronomers use an array of radio telescopes to achieve a virtual diameter in order to observe objects that are the size of supermassive black hole's event horizon.
