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

Physics
1 answer:
stellarik [79]2 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.

The diagram below represents a flashlight that has been turned on. Which form of energy is being converted to electrical energy
Orlov [11]

Answer:

Chemical energy to electrical energy

Explanation:

In nature, there are several types of energy.

In this example (a flashlight being turned on), we have a conversion of energy from chemical energy to electrical energy. In fact:

- Chemical energy is the energy stored in the chemical bonds of the molecules of the substances used inside the battery. When the chemical reaction inside the battery occurs, this energy is liberated, and it is used to "push" the electrons along the circuit connected to the battery

- Electric energy is the energy associated to the motion of the electrons along the circuit of the flashlight; it is the energy associated to an electric current.

Moreover, in the flashlight the electric energy is then converted into two more types of energy: light energy (since the bulb in the flashlight produces light) and heat energy (because the flashlight also produces heat, so thermal energy).

A block of unknown mass is attached to a spring with a spring constant of 7.00 N/m 2 and undergoes simple harmonic motion with a
KatRina [158]

Answers:

a) 0.80 kg

b) 2.12 s

c) 1.093 m/s^{2}

Explanation:

We have the following data:

k=7 N/m is the spring constant

A=12.5 cm \frac{1 m}{100 cm}=0.125 m is the amplitude of oscillation

V=32 cm/s=0.32 m/s is the velocity of the block when x=\frac{A}{2}=0.0625 m

Now let's begin with the answers:

<h3>a) Mass of the block</h3>

We can solve this by the conservation of energy principle:

U_{o}+K_{o}=U_{f}+K_{f} (1)

Where:

U_{o}=k\frac{A^{2}}{2} is the initial potential energy

K_{o}=0  is the initial kinetic energy

U_{f}=k\frac{x^{2}}{2} is the final potential energy

K_{f}=\frac{1}{2} m V^{2} is the final kinetic energy

Then:

k\frac{A^{2}}{2}=k\frac{x^{2}}{2}+\frac{1}{2} m V^{2} (2)

Isolating m:

m=\frac{k(A^{2}-x^{2})}{V^{2}} (3)

m=\frac{7 N/m((0.125 m)^{2}-(0.0625 m)^{2})}{(0.32 m/s)^{2}} (4)

m=0.80 kg (5)

<h3>b) Period</h3>

The period T is given by:

T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}} (6)

Substituting (5) in (6):

T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{0.80 kg}{7 N/m}} (7)

T=2.12 s (8)

<h3>c) Maximum acceleration</h3>

The maximum acceleration a_{max} is when the force is maximum F_{max}, as well :

F_{max}=m.a_{max}=k.x_{max} (9)

Being x_{max}=A

Hence:

m.a_{max}=kA (10)

Finding a_{max}:

a_{max}=\frac{kA}{m} (11)

a_{max}=\frac{(7 N/m)(0.125 m)}{0.80 kg} (12)

Finally:

a_{max}=1.093 m/s^{2}

A ball rolls down a hill and hits a box. The momentum of the ball decreases. Which happens to the momentum? Select one of the op
Irina-Kira [14]
<span>So we want to know what happens to the momentum of the ball that rolls down hill and hits a box. So we need to use the law of conservation of momentum which states that the momentum must be conserved. It cant be transformed into inertia or mass. It can only be transferred to other object via some interactions like collisions. So it has to be a. transferred to the box and that is the correct answer. </span>
