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.

When throwing a baseball overhand, what should you avoid?
daser333 [38]

when throwing a baseball overhand the muscles you use are

deltoids.

triceps.

latissimus dorsi.

abdominal muscles.

hips.

glutes.

so you should stretch and make sure you dont pull or hurt these muscles but you dont have to throw overhand Pitching underhand wasn't a gimmick for Gheen, it was his preferred style. He was mentioned in newspapers across the country for his unorthodox technique. An MLB umpire confirmed pitching underhand is allowed. also a good exercise to work out your arm would be A baseball push-up is meant to increase the power of your arms and core, and to increase the coordination between the two. This exercise also promotes good posture because it forces you to flex the muscles of the core in order to keep the lower back from bending.

       and i'll leve you with a quick fact: Softball pitchers use an underhand motion that is not as stressful to the shoulder joint as the overhand pitch used in baseball. Softball pitchers can often pitch several games in one day, and often have an extended career of many years due to the lower stress levels on the shoulder joint.

  good luck on your throwing!!

Find the momentum (in kg.m/s) of a helium nucleus having a mass of 6.68 x 10^-27 kg that is moving at 0.386c.
igomit [66]

Answer:

7.73544\times 10^{-21}kgm/sec

Explanation:

We have given mass of helium nucleus m=6.68\times 10^{-27}kg

Velocity of helium nucleus v=0.386c=0.386\times 3\times 10^{8}m/sec=1.158\times 10^{8}m/sec

Momentum of the helium nucleus is given by P=mv where m is mass and v is velocity

So P=mv=6.68\times 10^{-27}\times 1.158\times 10^{8}=7.73544\times 10^{-21}kgm/sec

A 40 kg bear slides, from rest, 14 m down a lodgepole pine tree, moving with a speed of 3.7 m/s just before hitting the ground.
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

A. -5488J

B. 273.8J

C. 372.44N

Explanation:

Given:

m = 40kg

h = 14 m

v= 3.7 m/s

Part(a)

The change in the potential energy of the bear Earth system during the slide

AU = -mgh = -40(9.8) (14) = -5488 J

Part(b)

The kinetic energy of the bear just before hitting the ground is

Ks 1/2 mV^2= (40)(3.7)2 = 547.6 /2 = 273.8J

Part(c)

The change in the thermal energy of the system due to friction is

AEth = fxh=-(AK +AU) = 5488– 273.8 = 5214.2 J

The average frictional force that acts on the sliding bear is

F = Eth / 14= 5214.2/14 =372.44N
