5. An electrical power plant generates electricity with a current of 50 A and a potential difference of 20 000 V. In order to mi

nimize the power losses due to the high current heating up the line, a transformer steps up the potential difference to 500 000 V before it is transmitted. What is the current in the transmission lines?

Answer: Current = 2 A

Explanation:

Given that an electrical power plant generates electricity with a

current I = 50 A

Potential difference V = 20 000 V

The resistance R will be achieved by Ohms law formula which state that

V = IR

But the power generated will be the product of potential difference and the current

Power P = IV

P = 50 × 20000

P = 1, 000000 W

When the transformer steps up the potential difference to 500 000 V before it is transmitted

Power is always constant.

Using the formula for power again with

V = 500000

1000000 = 500000× I

Make I the subject of formula

Current I = 1000000/500000

Current I = 2 A

The Hubble Space Telescope has an aperture of 2.4 m and focuses visible light (400-700 nm). The Arecibo radio telescope in Puert
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

y_{hubble} = 77\ \ m

y_{aceribo} = 1.1*10^6 \ \ m

Explanation:

what is the smallest crater that each of these telescopes could resolve on our moon?

For moon ;

s = 3.8 × 10 ⁸ m

y = 1.22 λs/D

where;

λ = 400 nm = 400× 10 ⁻⁹

D = 2.4 m

The smallest crater for the hubble space is calculated as follows:

y_{hubble} = 1.22*400*10^{-9}*3.8*10^8/2.4

y_{hubble} = 77\ \ m

For Aceribo ;

y = 1.22 λs/D

where :

λ = 75 cm = 0.75 m

D = 305 m

y_{acerbo} = 1.22*0.75 *3.8*10^8/305

y_{aceribo} = 1.1*10^6 \ \ m

A tightrope walker more easily balances on a tightwire if his pole
cestrela7 [59]
B) droops.

Why?
To maintain balance, you do not need something short so you're balanced well... You need something long and droopy to maintain balance. The pole should be held by your waist and it should be light.

Hope this helps!~

How can submarines use echolocation to tell how close they are to the bottom of the ocean?
Lapatulllka [165]
To locate a specific target or to determine how close submarines are to the seafloor, they use active and passive sound navigation and ranging (or a SONAR, in simple terms.) It emits pulses of sound waves that travel through the water, reflect off the target and relayed back to the ship. By determining how fast the sound wave travels back, the computers on the sub calculate how far they are from the target.

Hope this helps.

  The diagram shows a tray of marbles being shaken from side to side.  As this happens some of the marbles jump out of the tray.
irakobra [83]
The marbles that are 'more energetic' fall out of the tray, in the same way particles have enough energy to escape and turn into a gas.

What is it about copper that makes it a good conductor
natta225 [31]
It’s because conductors have nearly zero resistance to the flow of electrons that go through them. This leaves the electrons free to move and current can travel with full strength.
