An energy plant produces an output potential of 1500 kV and serves a city 143 km away. A high-voltage transmission line carries

500 A to the city. The effective resistance of a transmission line [wire(s)] is 2.4 Ω/km times the distance from the plant to the city. Consider the money lost by the transmission line heating the atmosphere each hour. Assume the energy plant produces the same amount of power; however, the output electric potential of the energy plant is 20 % greater. How much money per hour is saved by increasing the electric potential of the power plant? Answer in units of dollars/hr.

Answer:

2123.55 $/hr

Explanation:

Given parameters are:

V_{plant} = 1500 KV

L = 143 km

I = 500 A

\rho = 2.4 \Omega / km

So, we will find the voltage potential provided for the city as:

V_{wire} =IR = I\rho L = 1500*2.4*143 = 514.8 kV

V_{city} = V_{plant}- V_{wire} = 1500-514.8 = 985.2 kV

Then, we will find dissipated power because of the resistive loss on the transmission line as:

P = I^2R = I^2\rho L=500^2*2.4*143 = 8.58*10^7 W

Since the charge of plant is not given for electric energy, let's assume it randomly as x =  \frac{\dollar 0.081}{kW.hr}

Then, we will find the price of energy transmitted to the city as:

Cost = P * x = 8.58*10^7 * 0.081 * 0.001 = 6949.8 $/hr

To calculate money per hour saved by increasing the electric potential of the power plant:

Finally,

I_{new} = P/V_{new} = I/1.2\\P_{new} = I_{new}^2R_{wire}\\Cost = P_{new}/1.44=6949.8/1.44 = 4826.25 $/hr

The amount of money saved per hour = 6949.8 - 6949.8/1.44 = 2123.55 $/hr

Note: For different value of the price of energy, it just can be substituted in the equations above, and proper result can be found accordingly.

The formula is x = 1/2 at^2 and I have managed to fill in the variables as this. d = 1/2 9.81 m/s^2 1^2
Artyom0805 [142]

Right, as you mentioned in the comments, you find d by plugging in the different values of t.

For t=1\,\mathrm s, we have

d=\dfrac12\left(9.81\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(1\,\mathrm s)^2

d=\left(4.905\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)\left(1\,\mathrm s^2\right)

d=4.905\,\mathrm m

Similarly, for t=2\,\mathrm s, you get

d=\dfrac12\left(9.81\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)\left(2\,\mathrm s\right)

d=\left(4.905\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)\left(4\,\mathrm s^2\right)

d=19.62\,\mathrm m

Explain what voltage,current, resistance are and how they relate to Ohms law. Then give examples
SOVA2 [1]
Voltage is the difference in charge between two points.
Current is the rate the charge flows
Resistance is the tendency a material has to resist the flow of charge (current)
Combining voltage resistance and current Ohm developed the formula
V (Voltage)= I (Current) x R (Resistance)

An athlete kicks a soccer ball that starts at rest so that it leaves their foot with a speed of 10m/s from the top o f a rectang
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

a=500m/s^2

Explanation:

We need only to apply the definition of acceleration, which is:

a=\frac{v_f-v_i}{t_f-t_i}

In our case the final velocity is v_f=10m/s, the initial velocity is v_i=0m/s since it departs from rest, the final time is t_f=0.02s and the initial time we are considering is t_i=0s

So for our values we have:

a=\frac{10m/s-0m/s}{0.02s-0s}=500m/s^2

Lance Armstrong bikes at a constant speed up the Col d’Izoard, a famous mountain pass. Assume his teammates do such a good job r
svetoff [14.1K]

Work done against gravity to climb upwards is always stored in the form of gravitational potential energy

so we can say

W = mgh

here h = vertical height raised

so here we know that

h = 14.1 sin7.3 km

here we have

h = 1.79 km

now from above equation

W = (83 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)(1.79 \times 10^3 m)

W = 1.46 \times 10^6 J

so work done will be given by above value
