The question is incomplete! The complete question along with answer and explanation is provided below.

Question:

Suppose 79 kW is to arrive at a town over two 0.115 Ω lines. Estimate how much power is saved if the voltage is stepped up from 150 V to 1500 V and then down again, rather than simply transmitting at 150 V. Assume the transformers are each 99%% efficient. Express your ans up to two decimal points.

Answer:

Power saved = 30772.58 W or 30.77 kW

Explanation:

Since the power loss depends upon current, we need to find the current at each voltage level.

Current at 150 V:

I = P/V = 79,000/150 = 526.67 A

Current at 1500 V:

Considering transformer efficiency of 99%

79,000/0.99 = 79797.97 W

I = P/V = 79,797.97/1500 = 53.19 A

Power loss at 150 V:

P = I²R = (526.67)²*0.115 = 31898.84 W

Power loss at 1500 V:

Here we have to consider both of the losses, due to the transmission line and due to transformer itself

P = I²R = (53.19)²*0.115 = 325.35 W

So the total power at the sending end would be

Receiving end power + losses

79,000 + 325.35 = 79,325 W

Power at the input of the transformer is

79,325/0.99 = 80126.26

Power lost in the transformer is

80,126.26 - 79,000 = 1126.26 W

So the power that can be saved by stepping up the voltage from 150 to 1500 V is

Power saved = 31898.84 - 1126.26

Power saved = 30772.58 W

Power saved = 30.77 kW

A cannonball with a mass of 1.0 kilogram is fired horizontally from a 500.-kilogram cannon, initially at rest, on a horizontal,
vfiekz [6]
The impulse J is equal to the magnitude of the force applied to the cannonball times the time it is applied:
J=F \Delta t
But the impulse is also equal to the change in momentum of the cannonball:
J=\Delta p
If we put the two equations together, we find
F \Delta t= \Delta p
And since we know the magnitude of the average force and the time, we can calculate the change in momentum:
\Delta p= F \Delta t=(8.0 \cdot 10^3 N)(1.0 \cdot 10^{-1} s)=800 kg m/s

oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

14 rev

Explanation:

w_{o} = initial angular velocity = 2.5 revs⁻¹

w = final angular velocity = 0.8 revs⁻¹

\alpha = Angular acceleration = - 0.2 revs⁻²

\theta = Angular displacement

Using the equation

w^{2} = w_{o}^{2} + 2 \alpha \theta\\0.8^{2} = 2.5^{2} + 2 (- 0.2) \theta\\ \theta = 14 rev

So the number of revolutions are 14
