Explanation:

Suspension bridges, like the Golden Gate Bridge or the Brooklyn Bridge, use tension force as the primary source of force that cables use to hold their spans up. The supporting cables receive the tension forces of the bridge, and this same force passes to the anchorages and into the ground

Do houses use parallels or series circuits
Vilka [71]

Every electrical outlet in your house, and every device or appliance that's
plugged into an outlet, are all in parallel.  It's also most likely that all of yours
are in parallel with all the outlets, devices, and appliances in the homes or
apartments of a few of your neighbors.

The only things in your home that are connected in series are the switches
that turn things on and off.

Which is an example of transforming potential energy to kinetic energy? Select two options.
Rasek [7]

<u>Complete Question:</u>

Which is an example of transforming potential energy to kinetic energy? Select two options.

changing thermal energy to electrical energy

changing chemical energy to thermal energy

changing nuclear energy to radiant energy

changing radiant energy to electrical energy

changing mechanical energy to chemical energy

<u>Correct Answer:</u>

The examples of transforming potential energy to kinetic energy are changing chemical energy to thermal energy and changing nuclear energy to radiant energy.

<u>Explanation:</u>

As stated by the conservation of energy law, any form of energy is usually transferred to another form. The basic kinds of energy is potential and kinetic energy. Potential energy is the energy stored for the objects at rest and kinetic energy is the energy utilized by the objects for motion.

So in the given options, chemical energy is the energy stored by the chemical bonds to make a stable compound and that energy is converted to thermal energy when the bonds get broken. So the stored energy or the energy required to keep the bonds intact is chemical energy and it is thus a form of potential energy.

And when these bonds get broken, the electrons use the thermal energy released by this breakage as their kinetic energy. So one form of transforming potential energy to kinetic energy is by changing chemical energy to thermal energy.

Similarly, the nuclear energy is exhibited by the elementary particles in an atom. So it is similar to potential energy and the radiant energy is released whenever there is an excitation. So the radiant energy will be similar to kinetic energy.

Thus, the changing of chemical energy to thermal energy and the changing of nuclear energy to radiant energy are the examples of transforming potential energy to kinetic energy.

The power in an electric circuit varies inversely with the resistance. If the power is 2,200 watts when the resistance is 25 ohm
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

The value of resistance when power is 1100 watts = R_{2} = 50 ohms

Explanation:

Power P_{1} = 2200 Watts

Resistance R_{1} = 25 ohms

Power P_{2} = 1100 Watts

Resistance R_{2} = we have to calculate

Given that the power in an electric circuit varies inversely with the resistance

⇒ P ∝ \frac{1}{R}

⇒ \frac{P_{2} }{P_{1} } = \frac{R_{1} }{R_{2} }

⇒ \frac{1100}{2200} = \frac{25}{R_{2} }

⇒ R_{2} = 50 ohms

This is the value of resistance when power is 1100 watts.

Two trains A and B of length 400 m each are moving on two parallel tracks with
Vinvika [58]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>The initial distance between the trains is 1450 m. </em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

In the question two trains are of equal length 400 m and moves at a uniform speed of 72 km/h. train A is moving ahead of train B. If the train B has to overtake train A it should accelerate.

Train B’s acceleration  is 1m/s^2   and it accelerated for 50 seconds.

<em>a=1 m/s^2</em>

<em>t=50 s </em>

<em>initial speed u=72km/h </em>

<em>we have to convert this speed into m/s  </em>

<em>u=72 \times 5/18=20 m/s</em>

<em>Distance covered in accelerating phase  S=ut+1/2  at^2  </em>

<em>=20 \times 50+1/2 \times 1 \times 50^2</em>

<em>=1000+1250=2250 m </em>

If  a train is just behind another, the distance covered by the train located behind during overtaking phase will be equal to the sum of the lengths of the trains.

<em>Here length of train A+length of train B=400+400=800 m</em>

<em>Hence the initial distance between the trains = 2250-800=1450 m</em>
