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.

A hazard sign has 3 identical
melomori [17]

Answer and Explanation: To know how much tape he will need, we have to calculate the perimeter of each parallelogram-shaped stripe.

Perimeter is the sum of all the sides of a figure.

For a parallelogram:

P = 2*length + 2*width

So, we need to determine width and length of the stripe.

Width is 3 inches. Length is the hypotenuse of the right triangle, whose sides are 6 and 18 inches. Then, length is

h=\sqrt{18^{2}+6^{2}}

h=\sqrt{360}

h = 19 in

Perimeter of the first stripe is

P = (2*19) + (2*3)

P = 44 inches

The hazard sign has 3 stripes. So total perimeter is

P_{t}= 44 + 44 + 44

P_{t}= 132 inches

To outline the parallelogram-shaped stripes, Charles need a total of 132 inches of tape. Since one roll has 144 inches, he will have enough tape to finish the job.

A physicist does 100 joules of work on a simple machine that raise a box of bioks through a heigjt of 0.2metres. if the efficien
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

the work converted to thermal energy is 40 J.

Explanation:

Given;

work done by the physicist,w = 100 J

height through which the book is raised, h = 0.2 m

efficiency of machine = 60% = 0.6

The useful work done by the machine is calculated as;

useful work = 0.6 x 100 = 60 J

The wasted energy = 100 J - 60 J

The wasted energy = 40 J

The wasted energy by the machine is possibly converted to thermal energy by the frictional part of the machine.

Therefore, the work converted to thermal energy is 40 J.

Which device converts electrical energy into kinetic energy?
andriy [413]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

<em>Electric motor</em>

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>Energy</u></em> is the ability to do work. According to the law of conservation of energy,<em><u> energy can not be created nor destroyed but can be changed from one form to another</u></em>.
  • Changing energy from one form to another is done by devices we call <em><u>transducers. These are elements that convert energy from one form to another.</u></em>
  • In this case, electrical motor is an example of a transducer that converts electrical energy to kinetic energy. <em><u>Electrical energy is supplied to a the motor which converts it to rotational energy or mechanical energy then to kinetic energy.</u></em>
