At its closest approach, a moon comes within 200,000 km of the planet it orbits. At that point, the moon is 300,000 km from the

other focus of its orbit, f2. The planet is focus f1 of the moon's elliptical orbit. How far is the moon from the planet when it is 260,000 km from f2?

Answer:

s₁ = 240,000 km

Explanation:

The distance between both the focuses f₁ and f₂ will be the sum of distances of the moon from each focus at a given point. Therefore,

s = s₁ + s₂

where,

s = total distance between the focuses = ?

s₁ = distance between f1 and moon = 200,000 km

s₂ = distance between f₂ and moon = 300,000 km

Therefore,

s = 200,000 km + 300,000 km

s = 500,000 km

Now, when the distance from f₂ becomes 260,000 km, then the distance from f₁(planet) will become:

s = s₁ + s₂

500,000 km = s₁ + 260,000 km

s₁ = 500,000 km - 260,000 km

<u>s₁ = 240,000 km</u>

A large power plant heats 1917 kg of water per second to high-temperature steam to run its electrical generators.
erastova [34]

Complete Question

A large power plant heats 1917 kg of water per second to high-temperature steam to run its electrical generators.

(a) How much heat transfer is needed each second to raise the water temperature from 35.0°C to 100°C, boil it, and then raise the resulting steam from 100°C to 450°C? Specific heat of water is 4184 J/(kg · °C), the latent heat of vaporization of water is 2256 kJ/kg, and the specific heat of steam is 1520 J/(kg · °C).

J

(b) How much power is needed in megawatts? (Note: In real power plants, this process occurs under high pressure, which alters the boiling point. The results of this problem are only approximate.)

MW

Answer:

The heat transferred is  Q = 5.866 * 10^9 J

The power is  P = 5866\  MW

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

      Mass of the water per second is m = 1917 \ kg

      The initial temperature of the water is T_i  = 35^oC

      The boiling point of water is  T_b = 100^oC

      The final temperature T_f = 450^oC

      The latent heat of vapourization of water is  c__{L}} = 2256*10^3 J/kg

      The specific heat of water c_w = 4184 J/kg^oC

      The specific heat of stem is C_s =1520 \ J/kg ^oC

Generally the heat needed each second is mathematically represented as

         Q = m[c_w (T_i - T_b) + m* c__{L}}  + m* c__{S}} (T_f - T_b)]

Then substituting the value

        Q = m[c_w [T_i - T_b] + c__{L}}  + C__{S}} [T_f - T_b]]

         Q = 1917 [(4184) [100 - 35] + [2256 * 10^3]  +[1520]  [450 - 100]]

         Q = 1917 * [3.05996 * 10^6]

         Q = 5.866 * 10^9 J

The power required is mathematically represented as

         P = \frac{Q}{t}

From the question t = 1\ s

So  

        P = \frac{5.866 *10^9}{1}

        P = 5866*10^6 \ W

        P = 5866\  MW

A conductor carrying a current I = 16.5 A is directed along the positive x axis and perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field. A
Jet001 [13]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the Magnetic Force, this is given by the product between the current, the body length, the magnetic field and the angle between the force and the magnetic field, mathematically that is,

F = ILBsin \theta

Here,

I = Current

L = Length

B = Magnetic Field

\theta = Angle between Force and Magnetic Field

But \theta = 90\°

F = ILB

Rearranging to find the Magnetic Field,

B = \frac{F}{IL}

Here the force per unit length,

B = \frac{1}{I}\frac{F}{L}

Replacing with our values,

B = \frac{0.130N/m}{16.5}

B = 0.0078T

Therefore the magnitude of the magnetic field in the region through which the current passes is 0.0078T
