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.

How long (in seconds) does it take a car accelerating at 3.1 m/s2 to go from rest<br> to 51 m/s?
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

 t  = 16.5s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Acceleration = 3.1m/s²

Initial velocity  = 0m/s

Final velocity  = 51m/s

Unknown:

Time taken  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem we need to reiterate that acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time.

So;

        Acceleration  = \frac{v  - u }{t}  

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

t is the time taken

  So;

       3.1  = \frac{51 - 0}{t}  

    3.1t  = 51

       t  = 16.5s

An empty rubber balloon has a mass of 12.5 g. The balloon is filled with helium at a density of 0.181 kg/m3. At this density the
Eduardwww [97]

Answer: 1.14 N

Explanation :

As any body submerged in a fluid, it receives an upward force equal to the weight of the fluid removed by the body, which can be expressed as follows:

Fb = δair . Vb . g = 1.29 kg/m3 . 4/3 π (0.294)3  m3. 9.8 m/s2

Fb = 1.34 N

In the downward direction, we have 2 external forces acting upon the balloon: gravity and the tension in the line, which sum must be equal to the buoyant force, as the balloon is at rest.

We can get the gravity force as follows:

Fg = (mb +mhe) g  

The mass of helium can be calculated as the product of the density of the helium times the volume of the balloon (assumed to be a perfect sphere), as follows:

MHe = δHe . 4/3 π (0.294)3 m3 = 0.019 kg

Fg = (0.012 kg + 0.019 kg) . 9.8 m/s2 = 0.2 N

Equating both sides of Newton´s 2nd Law in the vertical direction:

T + Fg = Fb

T = Fb – Fg = 1.34 N – 0.2 N = 1.14 N

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

A. 10.84 m/s

B. 1.56 s

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Angle of projection (θ) = 45°

Maximum height (H) = 3 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Velocity of projection (u) =?

Time (T) taken to hit the ground again =?

A. Determination of the velocity of projection.

Angle of projection (θ) = 45°

Maximum height (H) = 3 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Velocity of projection (u) =?

H = u²Sine²θ / 2g

3 = u²(Sine 45)² / 2 × 9.8

3 = u²(0.7071)² / 19.6

Cross multiply

3 × 19.6 = u²(0.7071)²

58.8 = u²(0.7071)²

Divide both side by (0.7071)²

u² = 58.8 / (0.7071)²

u² = 117.60

Take the square root of both side

u = √117.60

u = 10.84 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of projection is 10.84 m/s.

B. Determination of the time taken to hit the ground again.

Angle of projection (θ) = 45°

Velocity of projection (u) = 10.84 m/s

Time (T) taken to hit the ground again =?

T = 2uSine θ /g

T = 2 × 10.84 × Sine 45 / 9.8

T = 21.68 × 0.7071 / 9.8

T = 1.56 s

Therefore, the time taken to hit the ground again is 1.56 s.
