The voltage at the plant is HUGEEEE compared to the one at your house. your house functions at 230V , the plant works at thousands times more voltage

Explanation:

At a power plant, there is a production of electricity at a high voltage compared to the voltage provided to our home.

The step-up and step-down transformers are used to convert high voltage to low voltage. The step-up transformer provides high voltage and low current at  a power plant and the step-down transformer is used to provide low voltage to home.

The voltage of the electricity that leaves the plant compare to the voltage of the electricity as it enters your home from high voltage to the low voltage.

Voices of swimmers at a pool travel 400 m/s through the air and 1,600 m/s underwater. The wavelength changes from 2 m in the air
frosja888 [35]

The frequency of the wave has not changed.

In fact, the frequency of a wave is given by:

f=\frac{v}{\lambda}

where v is the wave's speed and \lambda is the wavelength.

Applying the formula:

- In air, the frequency of the wave is:

f=\frac{400 m/s}{2 m}=200 Hz

- underwater, the frequency of the wave is:

f=\frac{1600 m/s}{8 m}=200 Hz

So, the frequency has not changed.

Jade and her roommate Jari commute to work each morning, traveling west on I-10. One morning Jade left for work at 6:45 A.M., bu
Veronika [31]

Answer:

Jari

Explanation:

The question requires to know who is traveling faster. This is done by comparing the gradients. The steeper the slope (high gradient), the faster the speed and vice versa.

From Jari's line, the starting point is (0, 0) and another point is (6, 7)

The gradient being change in y to change in x

Change in y=7-0=7

Change in x=6-0=6

Slope is 7/6

For Jade, first point is (0, 10) then another point is (6, 16)

Change in y=16-10=6

Change in x=6-0=6

Slope is 6/6=1

Clearly, 7/6 is greater than 6/6 or 1 hence Jari is faster than Jade

A 4.0-m-diameter playground merry-go-round, with a moment of inertia of 350 kg⋅m2 is freely rotating with an angular velocity of
Flauer [41]

Answer:

v = 4.375\,\frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

The situation of the system Ryan - merry-go-round is modelled after the Principle of the Angular Momentum Conservation:

(350\,kg\cdot m^{2})\cdot (1.5\,\frac{rad}{s} ) - (2\,m)\cdot (60\,kg)\cdot v = 0\,kg\cdot \frac{m^{2}}{s}

The initial speed of Ryan is:

v = 4.375\,\frac{m}{s}

An electron moves with a constant horizontal velocity of 3.0 × 106 m/s and no initial vertical velocity as it enters a deflector
Ghella [55]

Answer:

a = 5.05 x 10¹⁴ m/s²

Explanation:

Consider the motion along the horizontal direction

v_{x} = velocity along the horizontal direction = 3.0 x 10⁶ m/s

t = time of travel

X = horizontal distance traveled = 11 cm = 0.11 m

Time of travel can be given as

t = \frac{X}{v_{x}}

inserting the values

t = 0.11/(3.0 x 10⁶)

t = 3.67 x 10⁻⁸ sec

Consider the motion along the vertical direction

Y = vertical distance traveled = 34 cm = 0.34 m

a = acceleration = ?

t = time of travel  = 3.67 x 10⁻⁸ sec

v_{y} = initial velocity along the vertical direction = 0 m/s

Using the kinematics equation

Y = v_{y} t + (0.5) a t²

0.34 = (0) (3.67 x 10⁻⁸) + (0.5) a (3.67 x 10⁻⁸)²

a = 5.05 x 10¹⁴ m/s²
