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

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>

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the velocity be v

Total energy at the bottom

= rotational + linear kinetic energy

= 1/2 Iω² + 1/2 mv² ( I moment of inertia of shell  = mr² )

= 1/2 mr²ω² + 1/2 mv² ( v = ω r )

= 1/2 mv² +1/2 mv²

= mv²

mv² = mgh ( conservation of energy )

v² = gh

v = √gh

= √9.8 x 1.8

= 4.2 m /s

ale4655 [162]

Answer:

TRUE

Explanation:

The answer is true.

Balance forces acting on a body will not change the motion of the body because the body experiences no net resultant force in one direction. When any body experiences equal forces with opposite directions, the net force or the resultant force experience by the body is zero.

In case of an unbalanced forces, there is a net force acting in one direction and so it causes the body to change in its state of motion in the direction of the net force.
