A 34.0 %-efficient electric power plant produces 800 MW of electric power and discharges waste heat into 20∘C ocean water. Suppo

se the waste heat could be used to heat homes during the winter instead of being discharged into the ocean. A typical American house requires an average 20kW for heating.

Answer:

77647

Explanation:

\eta = Efficiency = 34%

Power used in 1 home = 0.02 MW

Total power is

P=\dfrac{800}{\eta}\\\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{800}{0.34}\\\Rightarrow P=2352.94117\ MW

Waste of power

2352.94117-800=1552.94117\ W

Number of homes would be given by

n=\dfrac{1552.94117}{0.02}=77647.0585\ homes

The number of homes that could be heated with the waste heat of this one power plant is 77647

How am I supposed to solve this?
RSB [31]

Answer:

4.02 km/hr

Explanation:

5 km/hr = 1.39 m/s

The swimmer's speed relative to the ground must have the same direction as line AC.

The vertical component of the velocity is:

uᵧ = us cos 45

uᵧ = √2/2 us

The horizontal component of the velocity is:

uₓ = 1.39 − us sin 45

uₓ = 1.39 − √2/2 us

Writing a proportion:

uₓ / uᵧ = 121 / 159

(1.39 − √2/2 us) / (√2/2 us) = 121 / 159

Cross multiply and solve:

159 (1.39 − √2/2 us) = 121 (√2/2 us)

220.8 − 79.5√2 us = 60.5√2 us

220.8 = 140√2 us

us = 1.115

The swimmer's speed is 1.115 m/s, or 4.02 km/hr.

A closely wound circular coil has a radius of 6.00 cmand carries a current of 2.65 A. How many turns must it have if the magneti
ad-work [718]

Answer:

Given:

radius of the coil, R = 6 cm = 0.06 m

current in the coil, I = 2.65 A

Magnetic field at the center, B = 6.31\times 10^{4} T

Solution:

To find the number of turns, N, we use the given formula:

B = \frac{\mu_{o}NI}{2R}

Therefore,

N = \frac{2BR}{\mu_{o}I}

N = \frac{2\times 6.31\times 10^{4}\times 0.06}{4\pi \times 10^{- 7}\times 2.65}

N = 22.74 = 23 turns (approx)
