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.

Calculate the speed for a car that went a distance of 125 meters in 2 seconds time.
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

<h2>62.5 m/s</h2>

Explanation:

The speed of the car can be found by using the formula

s =  \frac{d}{t} \\

d is the distance

t is the time

From the question we have

s =  \frac{125}{2}  = 62.5 \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>62.5 m/s</h3>

Hope this helps you

The position of an electron is given by , with t in seconds and in meters. At t = 3.99 s, what are (a) the x-component, (b) the
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

A. Vx = 3.63 m/s

B. Vy = -45.73 m/s

C. |V| = 45.87 m/s

D. θ = -85.46°

Explanation:

Given that position, r, is given as:

r = 3.63tˆi − 5.73t^2ˆj + 8.16ˆk

Velocity is the derivative of position, r:

V = dr/dt = 3.63 - 11.46t^j

A. x component of velocity, Vx = 3.63 m/s

B. y component of velocity, Vy = -11.46t

t = 3.99 secs,

Vy = - 11.46 * 3.99 = -45.73 m/s

C. Magnitude of velocity, |V| = √[(-45.73)² + 3.63²]

|V| = √(2091.2329 + 13.1769)

|V| = √(2104.4098)

|V| = 45.87 m/s

D. Angle of the velocity relative to the x axis, θ is given as:

tanθ = Vy/Vx

tanθ = -45.73/3.63

tanθ = -12.6

θ = -85.46°

Que es la expansión del universo?
anastassius [24]

Answer:

La expansión no es más que el incremento con el tiempo de la distancia entre cualquier par de galaxias lejanas. Se suele utilizar para representar este hecho la analogía de un globo donde hemos pintado una serie de puntos a modo de galaxias.

Based on what you have just read, what are the advantages of storing music digitally compared to using an analog system?
melamori03 [73]

Storing music digitally requires less storage room than analog records or tapes. Digital music is easier to copy and the copies are the same as the original. The quality of the signal does not degrade over long periods of time.
