What would most likely happen if the power lines in a pretroleum power plant were broken

1 answer:

tatiyna3 years ago

If a power lines in a petroleum power plant were broken CUSTOMERS WOULD NOT RECEIVE ELECTRICITY.
Power lines are used in electrical power transmission to transmit electrical energy across large distances. When these lines are broken, the generating plant will not be able to send electricity across to the consumers.

When you jump, you exert a pushing force against the ground. Gravity pulls you back down. Why can a person jump higher on the mo

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

This is because the force of gravity is much less on the moon than on the earth, therefore the person wont be pulled down much and will jump higher

Initially, a 2.00-kg mass is whirling at the end of a string (in a circular path of radius 0.750 m) on a horizontal frictionless

drek231 [11]

Answer:

$v_f = 15 \frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

We can solve this problem using conservation of angular momentum.

The angular momentum $\vec{L}$ is

$\vec{L} = \vec{r} \times \vec{p}$

where $\vec{r}$ is the position and $\vec{p}$ the linear momentum.

We also know that the torque is

$\vec{\tau} = \frac{d\vec{L}}{dt} = \frac{d}{dt} ( \vec{r} \times \vec{p} )$

$\vec{\tau} = \frac{d}{dt} \vec{r} \times \vec{p} + \vec{r} \times \frac{d}{dt} \vec{p}$

$\vec{\tau} = \vec{v} \times \vec{p} + \vec{r} \times \vec{F}$

but, as the linear momentum is $\vec{p} = m \vec{v}$ this means that is parallel to the velocity, and the first term must equal zero

$\vec{v} \times \vec{p}=0$

$\vec{\tau} = \vec{r} \times \vec{F}$

But, as the only horizontal force is the tension of the string, the force must be parallel to the vector position measured from the vertical rod, so

$\vec{\tau}_{rod} = 0$

this means, for the angular momentum measure from the rod:

$\frac{d\vec{L}_{rod}}{dt} = 0$

that means :

$\vec{L}_{rod} = constant$

So, the magnitude of initial angular momentum is :

$| \vec{L}_{rod_i} | = |\vec{r}_i||\vec{p}_i| cos(\theta)$

but the angle is 90°, so:

$| \vec{L}_{rod_i} | = |\vec{r}_i||\vec{p}_i|$

$| \vec{L}_{rod_i} | = r_i * m * v_i$

We know that the distance to the rod is 0.750 m, the mass 2.00 kg and the speed 5 m/s, so:

$| \vec{L}_{rod_i} | = 0.750 \ m \ 2.00 \ kg \ 5 \ \frac{m}{s}$

$| \vec{L}_{rod_i} | = 7.5 \frac{kg m^2}{s}$

For our final angular momentum we have:

$| \vec{L}_{rod_f} | = r_f * m * v_f$

and the radius is 0.250 m and the mass is 2.00 kg

$| \vec{L}_{rod_f} | = 0.250 m * 2.00 kg * v_f$

but, as the angular momentum is constant, this must be equal to the initial angular momentum

$7.5 \frac{kg m^2}{s} = 0.250 m * 2.00 kg * v_f$

$v_f = \frac{7.5 \frac{kg m^2}{s}}{ 0.250 m * 2.00 kg}$

$v_f = 15 \frac{m}{s}$

How many ohms of resistance must be present in a circuit that has 240 volts and a current of 15 amps?

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

16 ohms

Explanation:

V= I ⋅ R

where, V is the net potential difference in the circuit, I is the current in the circuit and R is the net resistance of the circuit.

In this case, V = 240 volts, I = 15 amperes.

240 = 15 ⋅ R

⇒ R = 240/ 15 = 16 ohms

The near point of a farsighted person's uncorrected eyes is 80 cm. what power contact lens should be used to move the near point

makvit [3.9K]

To solve this problem, we will get f and then we will use it to calculate the power.

So, for this farsighted person,
do = 25 cm and di = -80
Therefore:
1/f = (1/25) + (1/-80) = 0.00275 = 0.275 m

Power = 1/f = 1/0.275 = +3.6363 Diopeters.
This means that the lens is converging.
