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

<span>The formulas are, v1d1² = v2d2² ........ (1) h = (v2²-v1²)/2g ...... (2) Given that, v1 = 1.71 m/s we assume that the stream has decreased by a factor d2 =0.805d1 then, v1d1² = v2 (0.805d1)² cancelled both side d1² then we get, v1 = v2 (0.805)² v1 = v2 (0.648025) Sub v1 = 1.71, 1.71 = v2 (0.648025) v2 = 1.71/0.648025 v2 = 2.638787083831642 v2 = 2.64 m/s The vertical distance formula, h = (v2²-v1²)/2g We know that value of gravity constant is 9.8 m/s² h = {(2.64)² - (1.71)²)/2(9.8) h = {(6.9696) - (2.9241)}/19.6 h = (4.0455)/19.6 h = 0.2064030612244898 h = 0.21 cm Therefore, the vertical distance h = 0.21 cm.</span>

Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

The level of seed in each feeder

Explanation:

The independent variable is the variable which is the suspected cause of an observation, it is the variable that produce the effect observed in the dependent variable. The dependent variable is the variable that is measured

The independent variable is normally the x-value while the dependent variable is the y-value

In the question, Lana wants to find out the kind of birdseed that the neighborhood birds like (to eat) the most by feeding them different types of birdseed and measuring the level of the birdseed in the feeders at regular intervals

the independent variable is the bird seed types which Lana gives to the birds, to determine the type of bird seeds the birds like

The dependent variable is the level of the seed in the feeder which depends on the type of seeds the birds like.

Suppose 8.50 ✕ 10^5 J of energy are transferred to 1.63 kg of ice at 0°C. The latent heat of fusion and specific heat of water a
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

(a) 5.43 x 10⁵ J

(b) 3.07 x 10⁵ J

(c) 45 °C

Explanation:

(a)

L_{f} = Latent heat of fusion of ice to water = 3.33 x 10⁵ J/kg

m = mass of ice = 1.63 kg

Q_{f} = Energy required to melt the ice

Energy required to melt the ice is given as

Q_{f} = m L_{f}

Q_{f} = (1.63) (3.33 x 10⁵)

Q_{f} = 5.43 x 10⁵ J

(b)

E = Total energy transferred = 8.50 x 10⁵ J

Q  = Amount of energy remaining to raise the temperature

Using conservation of energy

E = Q_{f} + Q

8.50 x 10⁵ = 5.43 x 10⁵ + Q

Q = 3.07 x 10⁵ J

(c)

T₀ = initial temperature = 0°C

T = Final temperature

m = mass of water = 1.63 kg

c = specific heat of water = 4186 J/(kg °C)

Q = Amount of energy to raise the temperature of water = 3.07 x 10⁵ J

Using the equation

Q = m c (T - T₀)

3.07 x 10⁵ = (1.63) (4186) (T - 0)

T = 45 °C

Please help<br><br><br> ____________ is the type of energy due to motion.
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]
I believe the answer would be Kinetic Energy. Kinetic energy is defined as energy which a body possesses by virtue of being in motion. We weren’t given answer choices so I don’t have much to work with lol.
