James and John dive from an overhang into the lake below. James simply drops straight down from the edge. John takes a running s

tart and jumps with an initial horizontal velocity of 25 m/s. Compare the time it takes each to reach the lake below if there is no air resistance.

Answer:

Both of them reach the lake at the same time.

Explanation:

We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5at²

Vertical motion of James : -

          Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

         Acceleration, a = g

         Displacement, s = h

    Substituting,

                  s = ut + 0.5 at²

                 h = 0 x t + 0.5 x g x t²

                 t_{James}=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}

Vertical motion of John : -

          Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

         Acceleration, a = g

         Displacement, s = h

    Substituting,

                  s = ut + 0.5 at²

                 h = 0 x t + 0.5 x g x t²

                 t_{John}=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}

So both times are same.

Both of them reach the lake at the same time.

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
