Answer: 74.8m

Explanation:

We have the vector defined by:

r = 101m

θ = 42.2°

When we want to write this as rectangular components, we have that:

x = r*cos(θ)

y = t*sin(θ)

this is because we can construct a triangle rectangle, where the module of the vector is the hypotenuse, the x component is the adjacent cathetus and the y component is the opposite cathetus.

Then, here we have that the x component is

x = 101m*cos(42.2°) = 74.8m

A high voltage transmission line with a resistance of 0.51 Ω/km carries a current of 1099 A. The line is at a potential of 1300

<h2>Answer:</h2>

$\boxed{P=96.09MW}$

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

First of all, we need to figure out what is the resistance in that line. In this problem, the total resistance is not given directly, but we can calculate it because we know it in terms of 0.51 Ω/km and since the distance from the power station to the city is 156km, then:

$R_{line}=0.51 \frac{\Omega}{km}.156km \\ \\ R_{line}=79.56\Omega$

So we can calculate the power loss as:

$P=I^2R \\ \\ Where: \\ \\I=1099A \\ \\ P=(1099)^2(79.56) \\ \\ P=96092647.56W \\ \\ Remember \ that \ 1MW=10^6W \ So: \\ \\ P=96092647.56W(\frac{1M}{10^6}) \\ \\ \boxed{P=96.09MW}$

Finally, the power loss due to resistance in the line is 96.09MW

If 170 degrees F air feels warm and comfortable to us, why does swimming in 70 degree F water feel cold ?

Advocard [28]

Your body loses heat to the water faster than it loses heat to the air. Water has a higher heat capacity, so it is better at extracting heat than air is.

Momentum is defined as product of mass and velocity

so here initial momentum is
