A power plant produces 1000 MW to supply a city 40 km away. Current flows from the power plant on a single wire of resistance 0.

050Ω/km, through the city, and returns via the ground, assumed to have negligible resistance. At the power plant the voltage between the wire and ground is 115 kV.What is the current in the wire?What fraction of the power is lost in transmission?

Answer:

Current = 8696 A

Fraction of power lost = \dfrac{80}{529} = 0.151

Explanation:

Electric power is given by

P=IV

where I is the current and V is the voltage.

I=\dfrac{P}{V}

Using values from the question,

I=\dfrac{1000\times10^6 \text{ W}}{115\times10^3\text{ V}} = 8696 \text{ A}

The power loss is given by

P_\text{loss} = I^2R

where R is the resistance of the wire. From the question, the wire has a resistance of 0.050\Omega per km. Since resistance is proportional to length, the resistance of the wire is

R = 0.050\times40 = 2\Omega

Hence,

P_\text{loss} = \left(\dfrac{200000}{23}\right)^2\times2

The fraction lost = \dfrac{P_\text{loss}}{P}=\left(\dfrac{200000}{23}\right)^2\times2\div (1000\times10^6)=\dfrac{80}{529}=0.151

kari74 [83]

Answer: according to the Avagadro's law, volume is directly propotional to no of moles: VXn

according to the Charles law, volume is directly propotional to  temperatue: VXT

according to the Boyle's law, volume is inversely propotional to P: VX1/P

when we combine them we get:

VXnT1/P

V=knT/P

k= R(universal gas constant)

V=RnT/P

PV=nRT

A stone is dropped from the upper observation deck of a tower, "500" m above the ground. (Assume g = 9.8 m/s2.) (a) Find the dis
Yuri [45]

Answer:

h₍₁₎ = 495,1 meters

h₍₂₎ = 480,4 m

h₍₃₎ = 455,9 m

...

..

Explanation:

The exercise is "free fall". t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} }

Solving with this formula you find the time it takes for the stone to reach the ground (T) = 102,04 s

The heights (h) according to his time (t) are found according to the formula:

h(t) = 500 - 1/2 * g * t²

Remplacing "t" with the desired time.
