The object in the lower orbit will move faster in its orbit, and will have a shorter orbital period. None of that depends on their masses either.

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.

nikitadnepr [17]

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

A force of 8.0 N is along x direction, another force of 6.0 N is along +y direction. If both forces are acting on a point object

Darya [45]

Answer:

Resultant force, R = 10 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

Force acting along +x direction, $F_x=8\ N$

Force acting along +y direction, $F_y=6\ N$

Both the forces are acting on a point object located at the origin. Let the resultant force of the object is given by R. So,

$R=\sqrt{F_x^2+F_y^2+F_xF_y\ cos\theta}$

Here $\theta=90^{\circ}$

$R=\sqrt{F_x^2+F_y^2}$

$R=\sqrt{8^2+6^2}$

R = 10 N

So, the resultant force on the object is 10 N. Hence, this is the required solution.
