The acceleration of the truck, given it accelerated from 0 m/s to 22 m/s in 8.5 s is 2.59 m/s²

From the question given above, the following were obtained:

  • Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s
  • Final velocity (v) = 22 m/s
  • Time (t) = 8.5 s
  • Acceleration (a) =?

<h3>How do I determine the acceleration?</h3>

The acceleration of the truck can be obtained as follow:

a = (v – u) / t

a = (22 – 0) / 8.5

a = 22 / 8.5

a = 2.59 m/s²

Thus, we can conclude that the acceleration of the truck is 2.59 m/s²

An energy plant produces an output potential of 1500 kV and serves a city 143 km away. A high-voltage transmission line carries
jekas [21]

Answer:

2123.55 $/hr

Explanation:

Given parameters are:

V_{plant} = 1500 KV

L = 143 km

I = 500 A

\rho = 2.4 \Omega / km

So, we will find the voltage potential provided for the city as:

V_{wire} =IR = I\rho L = 1500*2.4*143 = 514.8 kV

V_{city} = V_{plant}- V_{wire} = 1500-514.8 = 985.2 kV

Then, we will find dissipated power because of the resistive loss on the transmission line as:

P = I^2R = I^2\rho L=500^2*2.4*143 = 8.58*10^7 W

Since the charge of plant is not given for electric energy, let's assume it randomly as x =  \frac{\dollar 0.081}{kW.hr}

Then, we will find the price of energy transmitted to the city as:

Cost = P * x = 8.58*10^7 * 0.081 * 0.001 = 6949.8 $/hr

To calculate money per hour saved by increasing the electric potential of the power plant:

Finally,

I_{new} = P/V_{new} = I/1.2\\P_{new} = I_{new}^2R_{wire}\\Cost = P_{new}/1.44=6949.8/1.44 = 4826.25 $/hr

The amount of money saved per hour = 6949.8 - 6949.8/1.44 = 2123.55 $/hr

Note: For different value of the price of energy, it just can be substituted in the equations above, and proper result can be found accordingly.

When does sea breeze occur
Vladimir79 [104]
<span>Sea breeze can happen during hot summer days because of the uneven  heating rates of water and land. The land surface heats up faster than the surface of the water during the day.  At this rate, the air above the land grows warmer than the air atop the ocean. Warmer air is always lighter than cooler air. As a consequence, warm air is pushed upward causing it to rise. With this, warmer air rises over the land. As warm air rises over the land, cooler air over the ocean flows over the land surface to change or replace the rising warm air.</span>

the law of reflection states that if the angle of incidence is 77 degrees the angle of reflection is ​
zzz [600]

Answer: 77 degrees

Explanation:

According to the Law of Reflection, when a ray of light strikes a surface, the angle of this ray (incident ray) with respect to the normal of the surface is equal to the angle that forms the reflected ray with the same normal of the surface.  

In other words:  

Both the incident ray and the reflected ray and the normal to the surface are in the same plane, in addition, the angle of the incident ray is equal to the angle of the reflected ray.  

In this context, if the angle of incidence is 77 degrees, the angle of reflection is 77 degrees, as well.
