Answer:

The electricity produced from the main source which is an electrical generator which is usually close a remote abundant source of natural energy or at a distant location away from the residential areas where the electricity is used

The step up transformer is the device used to raise the voltage and therefore lower the current of the of incoming generated electricity before it is transmitted through high tension cables so that the energy loss from source to destination is reduced and the electricity generated can applied where needed

However, the high voltage transmitted along power lines to reduce energy loss cannot be used as it is by the consumer, partly because it is very harmful in the event of an electric shock and can easily damage household electrical devices, therefore, the high voltage in the power lines is reversed back or lowered into voltages which can be used to power electrical devices in buildings with the use of a step-down transformer

Explanation :

(1) Involuntary muscles are the muscles that are not controlled by our will.

(2) Tendons are the connective tissues that join the muscle to bones. Tendons are tissues that have fibers.

(3) Cardiac muscle is also involuntary muscles. For example heart muscle. It shows contraction and relaxation throughout life.

(4) Voluntary muscle is the muscles that are not controlled by our will.

(5) Biceps are the arm muscles.

Hence, this the required explanation as per options.

A 980 kg roller coaster cart is traveling along a track at 17 m/s before it rolls down a 30 m tall hill (Point A). What will be

MrRissso [65]

The kinetic energy halfway the hill is $2.86\cdot 10^5 J$

Explanation:

If there are no friction forces acting on the cart, we can apply the law of conservation of energy: the mechanical energy of the cart (which is the sum of potential energy + kinetic energy) must be conserved. So we can write:

$U_A +K_A = U_B + K_B$
