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.

Which of these statements is true about endothermic reactions, but not about exothermic reactions?
sashaice [31]
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the second option. For endothermic reactions, the reactants have less energy than the products. Which would mean that energy should be added to the reaction for it to proceed. Hope this answers the question.

Evaluating alternative options and choosing one option among them is called the theory of bounded rationality.
VikaD [51]

It is false, bounded rationality is the idea that rationality is limited when individuals make decisions. ... Limitations include the difficulty of the problem requiring a decision, the cognitive capability of the mind, and the time available to make the decision.

But one thing, NEXT TIME TELL US THE QUESTION FIRST AND DON'T JUST LEAVE BLINDLY ASKING SOMETHING.

A woman is running around a playground while keeping an eye on her child who is on a swing set. The child is going back and fort
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

(a) 1500 m

(b) 2827.43m

Explanation:

Given that the time for one cycle of the swing is 1 s

The radius of the swing, R= 3.0m

The angle covered, \theta, by each swing is a quarter of the circle. i.e.

\Theta=\frac {\pi}{2}

Speed of running of women =5 m/s.

Time of running = 5 minutes= 5 x 60 secondes= 300 s.

(a) As distance= (speed) x (time)

So, the required distance= 5 x 300 m= 1500 m.

(b) As there are two swings in one cycle, so, the distance covered in one swing is the length of the circular shown in the figure.

As arc length, l= \theta R, where \theta is the angle, in radian, subtended by the arc at the center, and R is the radius of curvature of the arc.

So, the distance covered by the child in 1 swing = \frac {\pi}{2}\times 3 m=\frac{3\pi}{2}m.

In 1 cycle, there are 2 swings, so distance covered in 1 cycle = 3 \pi m.

Now, in 1 second there is 1 cycle, so in 5 minutes there will be 300 cycles.

So, the total distance covered by the child

= 3\pi\times 300 m= 2827.43 m.
