A power station delivers 510 kw of power at 12,000 v to a factory through wires of total resistance of 2.5 ω. how much less powe

r is wasted if the electricity is delivered at 47,000 v rather than 12,000 v?

The currents (Amperes) in the two cases are calculated as power/voltage: <span>

510000W / 12000V = 42.5 A 
510000W / 47000V = 10.85 A 

<span>And that the power wasted in the two cases is calculated as current^2 x resistance:

(42.5 A)^2 (2.5 Ohms) = 4,515.625 W 
(10.85 A)^2 (2.5 Ohms) = 294.30625 W 

<span>So the amount of power saved is the difference:
<span>4,515.625 - 294.30625  = 4221.32 Watts</span></span></span></span>

<span>This is the main reason why distribution grids aim to operate at the highest voltages possible.</span>

A 72.9-kg base runner begins his slide into second base when moving at a speed of 4.02 m/s. The coefficient of friction between
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

-589.05 J

Explanation:

Using work-kinetic energy theorem, the work done by friction = kinetic energy change of the base runner

So, W = ΔK

W = 1/2m(v₁² - v₀²) where m = mass of base runner = 72.9 kg, v₀ = initial speed of base runner = 4.02 m/s and v₁ = final speed of base runner = 0 m/s(since he stops as he reaches home base)

So, substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

W = 1/2m(v₁² - v₀²)

W = 1/2 × 72.9 kg((0 m/s)² - (4.02 m/s)²)

W = 1/2 × 72.9 kg(0 m²/s² - 16.1604 m²/s²)

W = 1/2 × 72.9 kg(-16.1604 m²/s²)

W = 1/2 × (-1178.09316 kgm²/s²)

W = -589.04658 kgm²/s²

W = -589.047 J

W ≅ -589.05 J
