The watts that are consumed is 80 watts.

<h3>What power factor?</h3>

The term power factor has to do with the measure of the efficiency of the use of energy. Recall that power is defined as the rate of doing work. The magnitude of the power factor shows the extent to which the power is used.

Now, to obtain the watts are consumed in a circuit having a power factor of 0. 2 if the input is 100 vac at 4 amperes we have; V × I × PF = 100V × 4A × 0.2 = 80 watts.

Five kg of water is contained in a piston-cylinder assembly, initially at 5 bar and 240°C. The water is slowly heated at constan

Digiron [165]

Answer:

The final temperature of water is 381.39 °C.

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of water = 5 kg

Heat transfer at constant pressure Q = 2960 KJ

Initial temperature = 240 °C

We know that heat transfer at constant pressure given as follows

$Q=mC_p\Delta T$

We know that for water

$C_p=4.187\ \frac{KJ}{kg.K}$

Lets take final temperature of water is T

$Q=mC_p\Delta T$

$2960=5\times 4.187(T-240)$

T=381.39 °C

So the final temperature of water is 381.39 °C.

Why is concrete on its own not a good material to use

Inga [223]

Answer:

It has poor tensile strength despite having high compressive strength

Explanation:

Concrete exhibits high compressive strength when used. However, it has very low compressive strength. This is the reason why concrete is normally combined with steel to make a composite building material called reinforced concrete. The steel reinforces concrete hence increasing the tensile strength in RC buildings. The end composite is durable and fireproof. Generally, the main reason why concrete is not use on its own is due to its poor tensile strength.

Takt time is the rate at which a factory must produce to satisfy the customer's demand. a)- True b)- False

laila [671]

Answer: a)True

Explanation: Takt time is defined as the average time difference between the production of the two consecutive unit of goods by the manufacturer and this rate is matched with the demand of the customer. This is the time which is calculated to find the acceptable time for which the goods unit must be produced by the factory to meet the needs of the customer. Therefore , the statement is true that takt time is the rate at which a factory must produce to satisfy the customer's demand.

The amplitudes of the displacement and acceleration of an unbalanced motor were measured to be 0.15 mm and 0.6*g, respectively.

ehidna [41]

Answer:

The speed of shaft is 1891.62 RPM.

Explanation:

given that

Amplitude A= 0.15 mm

Acceleration = 0.6 g

we can say that acceleration= 0.6 x 9.81

$acceleration,a=5.88\ \frac{m}{s^2}$

We know that

$a=\omega ^2A$

So now by putting the values

$a=\omega ^2A$

$5.88=\omega ^2 \0.15\times 10^{-3}$

$\omega =198.09\ \frac{rad}{s}$

We know that

ω= 2πN/60

198.0=2πN/60

N=1891.62 RPM

So the speed of shaft is 1891.62 RPM.
