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.

A particle travels in a circle of radius 76 cm and completes one revolution in 4.5 s. What is the centripetal acceleration of th
Dimas [21]

r = radius of the circle traveled by the particle = 76 cm = 0.76 m

T = time period of revolution for the particle = 4.5 s

w = angular velocity of the particle

angular velocity of the particle is given as

w = 2π/T

inserting the values

w = 2 (3.14)/4.5

w = 1.4 rad/s

a = centripetal acceleration of the particle in the circle

centripetal acceleration is given as

a = r w²

inserting the values

a = (0.76) (1.4)²

a = 1.5 m/s²

What is the pH of neutral substance?
Lunna [17]

Answer:

7

Explanation:

A substance that is neither acidic nor basic is neutral. The pH scale measures how acidic or basic a substance is. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14. A pH of 7 is neutral.

Suppose you want to determine the resistance of a resistor that is nominally 100 . You should be able to apply 10 V across the r
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

a) For y = 102 mA, R = 98.039 ohms

For y = 97 mA, R = 103.09 ohms

b) Check explanatios for b

Explanation:

Applied voltage, V = 10 V

For the first measurement, current y_{1} = 102 mA = 0.102 A

According to ohm's law, V = IR

R = V/I

Here, I = y_{1}

R = \frac{V}{y_{1} } \\R = \frac{10}{0.102} \\R = 98.039 ohms

For the second measurement, current y_{2} = 97 mA = 0.097 A

R = \frac{V}{y_{2} }

R = \frac{10}{0.097} \\R = 103 .09 ohms

b) y = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}y_{1} &y_{2} \end{array}\right] ^{T}

y = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}y_{1} \\y_{2} \end{array}\right]

y = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}102*10^{-3} \\97*10^{-3}  \end{array}\right]

A linear equation is of the form y = Gx

The nominal value of the resistance = 100 ohms

x = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}100\end{array}\right]

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}102*10^{-3} \\97*10^{-3}  \end{array}\right] =  \left[\begin{array}{ccc}G_{1} \\G_{2}  \end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{ccc}100\end{array}\right]\\\left[\begin{array}{ccc}G_{1} \\G_{2}  \end{array}\right] =  \left[\begin{array}{ccc}102*10^{-5} \\97*10^{-5}  \end{array}\right]

What’s The Answer, To The Question In The Photo
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is the third option: The kinetic energy of the water molecules decreases.

Explanation:

Temperature is, in depth, a statistical value; kind of an average of the particles movement in any physical system (such as a glass filled with water). Kinetic energy, for sure, is the energy resulting from movement (technically depending on mass and velocity of a system; in other words, the faster something moves, the greater its kinetic energy.

Since temperature is related to the total average random movement in a system, and so is the kinetic energy (related to movement through velocity), as the thermometer measures <u>less temperature</u>, that would mean that the particles (in this case: water particles) are <u>moving slowly</u>, so that: the slower something moves, the lower its kinetic energy.

<u>In summary:</u> temperature tells about how fast are moving and colliding the particles within a system, and since it is <em>directly proportional</em> to the amount of movement, it can be related (also <em>directly proportional</em>) to the kinectic energy.

A Ford Mustang weighs about 3500 pounds, and can accelerate from 0-60 MPH in about 5 seconds. What force is responsible for this
Hunter-Best [27]

We will apply the concepts related to Newton's second law. At the same time we will convert everything to the system of international units.

m = 3500lb = 1587.57kg

The values of the velocities are,

\text{Initial Velocity} = V_i = 0

\text{Final Velocity} = V_f = 60mph = 26.822m/s

We know that the acceleration is equivalent to the change of the speed in a certain time therefore

a = \frac{v_f-v_i}{t}

a = \frac{26.822-0}{5}

a = 5.36m/s^2

Now applying the Newton's second law we have,

F= ma

F = (1587.57)(5.36)

F = 8516.36N

Therefore the approximate magnitude is 8516.36N
