An electric power plant generates electricity

Reference no: EM13535822

An electric power plant generates electricity @ 22 kV and 100 A. The voltage is stepped up to 240 kV before being transmitted to a city 15 km away over a copper wire that has a radius of 2 mm. Energy is lost in heating the wire during transmission. If the transformer is 95% efficient, and the price of electricity is 15¢/kWh, How much money is saved per day by stepping the voltage up instead of transmitting it at the original voltage?

Relation between energy and momentum : Calculate the deBroglie wavelength of electrons that have been accelerated by 50,000 Volts (Remember the relation between energy and momentum). The answer is 5.486*10^-12 meters, but I'm not sure how to get it.

A microscope uses beams of protons instead of photons : A microscope uses beams of protons instead of photons/electrons. What wavelength would the beam of protons have if their momentum was acquired from a potential drop of 100 volts? (The answer is 2.87*10^-10 cm, but I don't know how to get there

Distance of two runners from flagpole when their paths cross : Runner A is initially 4.8 km west of a flagpole and is running with a constant velocity of 4.2 km/h due east. Runner B is initially 4.0 km east of the flagpole and is running with a constant velocity of 5.2 km/h due west. What will be the distance of..
