Why do power plants worry about the resistance of the wires? ( PHYSICAL SCIENCE )

Physics
1 answer:
tatiyna3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Resistors restrict current flow through a circuit.

(The electrons don't easily get from one side to the other)

High voltage is actually needed for to send power over long distances because if you use high current, a lot of the power is lost to the resistance in the wires.

What is the net force required to accelerate a 16 kg box at a rate or 1.4 m/s^2
stich3 [128]
You can use Newton's Second Law which states:
\sum \vec{F} = m\vec{a}

Plug in given information:
\sum \vec{F}=16(1.4) = 22.4N

This is closest to option b which is your answer.

Two converging lenses are placed 30 cm apart. The focal length of the lens on the right is 20 cm while the focal length of the l
Masja [62]

Answer:

a)   I2 = 3 (o-10) / (o- 30) , b)   h ’/h=  3 (o-10) / o (o-30)

Explanation:

The builder's equation is

          1 / f = 1 / o + 1 / i

Where f is the focal length, or e i are the distance to the object and image, respectively

As the separation between the lenses is greater than the focal distances, we must work them individually and separately. Let's start with the leftmost lens with focal length f = 15 cm

Let's calculate the position of the image of this lens

         1 / i1 = 1 / f - 1 / o

         1 / i1 = 1/15 - 1 / o

         i1 = o 15 / (o-15)

Let's calculate the distance to the image of the second lens, for this the image of the first is the distance to the object of the second

        o2 = d-i1

We write the builder equation

       1 / f2 = 1 / o2 + 1 / i2

       1 / i2 = 1 / f2 -1 / o2

       1 / i2 = 1 / f2 - 1 / (d-i1)

       1 / i2 = 1/20 - 1 / (d-i1)            (1)

Let's evaluate the last term

      d-i1 = d - 15 o / (o-15)

      d-i1 = (d (o-15) - 15 o) / (o-15)

      d- i1 = (30 or -30 15 -15 o) / (o-15)

      d-i1 = (15 or - 450) / (o- 15)

      d-i1 = = (15 or -450) / (o-15)

replace in 1

      1 / i2 = 1/20 - (or - 15) / (15 or -450)

      1 / i2 = [(15 o-450) - (o-15) 20] / (15 or -150)

      1 / i2 = (15 or - 450 - 20 or + 300) / (15 or - 150)

      1 / i2 = (-5 or -150) / (15 or -150)

      1 / i2 = (or -30) / (3 or - 30)

      I2 = 3 (o-10) / (o- 30)

Part B

The height of the image, we use the magnification equation

     m = h ’/ h = - i / o

     h ’= - h i / o

In our case

     h ’= h i2 / o

     h ’= h 3 (o-10) / o (o-30)

If they give the distance to the object it is easier
