Explain why the National Grid uses step-up and step-down transformers.

Physics
1 answer:
stellarik [79]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Step-up transformers are used at power stations to produce the very high voltages needed to transmit electricity through the National Grid power lines. These high voltages are too dangerous to use in the home, so step-down transformers are used locally to reduce the voltage to safe levels.

sammy [17]

Answer:

The mass of the cable is 4.94 kg                                                                                                                                                                            

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the block, m = 20 kg

Force applied to the cable, F = 110 N

Speed of the block, v = 4.2 m/s

Distance, d = 2 m

Let a is the acceleration of the block. It can be calculated using the third equation of motion as :

v^2-u^2=2ad

(4.2)^2-(0)^2=2a\times 2

a=4.41\ m/s^2

Let m' is the mass of the cable. It can be calculated using the second law of motion as :

m'=\dfrac{F}{a}-m

m=\dfrac{110\ N}{4.41\ m/s^2}-20

m = 4.94 kg

So, the mass of the cable is 4.94 kg. Hence, this is the required solution.

aleksley [76]

Given :

The pink car has a velocity of 4.4 m/s to the right while the blue car has a velocity of 6.8 m/s to the left.

To Find :

If the two cars crashed and stuck together, what would their combined momentum be afterwards and what direction would they be moving.

Solution :

Let, combined velocity of the car is v.

Also, let us assume that mass of both the cars are equal and it is m.

By conservation of momentum :

Initial momentum = Final momentum

 m( 6.8 ) - m( 4.4 ) = 2mv

2mv =2.4m

v = 1.2 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of combined car after crash is 1.2 m/s .

A diet rich in high-density lipoproteins (HDLs) can help cleanse and open arteries that are clogged with plaque.
docker41 [41]

Correct answer choice is :


A) True


Explanation:


Lipoproteins are essentially a hub full of fat and cholesterol, along with a lipid layer that includes proteins named apolipoproteins. There are many kinds of lipoproteins, but the two most prominent ones are called Low-Density Lipoprotein and HDL.LDL particles are seldom related to as bad lipoprotein because of concentrations, dose-related, associated with atherosclerosis change. High-density lipoproteins (HDL) get fat molecules from the body's cells and take it back to the liver.
