Why are household wall sockets alternating current (AC) instead of direct current (DC)? Select all that apply.

Physics
1 answer:
Bond [772]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

It is easier to scale the voltage of AC from high to low and low to high than with DC

Explanation:

typically power is used far away from the place where it's generated so to ensure that transmission losses( copper losses) are minimized voltage has to be stepped up during transmission..but due to the fact that most house hold equipment requires low voltage levels it has to be stepped down once it reaches a household/ domestic load...it's easier to do this for Ac than for DC.

The clothes washer in your house consumes 470 kWh of energy per year. Price of the washer is $360 and the lifetime of the washer
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

$893

Explanation: the complete question should be

The clothes washer in your house consumes 470 kWh of energy per year. Price of the washer is $360 and the lifetime of the washer is 10 yrs. Energy price in your city is 9 cents per kWh. What is the lifecycle cost of the clothes washer? (assume a maintenance cost of $11 per year)

SOLUTION

Given:

The clothes washe power consumption (PC) is 470 kWh

Price of the washer (P) is $360

lifetime of the washer (L) is 10 yrs

Energy price in the city (E) is 9 cents per kWh (Covert to $ by dividing 100)

maintenance cost (M) is $11 per year

Lifecycle cost = P + (PC × L × E) +M + L

Lifecycle cost = $360 + (470kWh × 10years × 9cents/100) + ($11 × 10years)

=$893

If A vector = i^-j^+k^ then unit vector in the direction of A vector
Novosadov [1.4K]

If <em>A</em> = <em>i</em> - <em>j</em> + <em>k</em>, then the magnitude of <em>A</em> is

||<em>A</em>|| = √(1² + (-1)² + 1²) = √3

Then the unit vector in the direction of <em>A</em> is 1/||A|| multiplied by <em>A</em> :

<em>u</em> = <em>A</em>/||<em>A</em>|| = (<em>i</em> - <em>j</em> + <em>k</em>)/√3

(choice D)

In Case 1, a mass M hangs from a vertical spring having spring constant k and is at rest in its equilibrium position. In Case 2
evablogger [386]

Answer: hello your question is incomplete attached below is the complete question

answer :  1/2 KD^2  ( option A )

Explanation:

P.E ( potential energy ) = mgd

In case 1 P.E = 0   i.e. mgd = 0  

Given that in case 2 the Mass M had moved through the Distance D by the compression of the spring

<u>The potential energy of the M in case 2 </u>

= P.E of M at rest + P.E of the spring

= 0 + 1/2 KD^2
