A single-phase electrical load draws 600KVA at 0.6 power factor lagging. a) Find the real and reactive power absorbed by the loa
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

(a). The reactive power is 799.99 KVAR.

(c). The reactive power of a capacitor to be connected across the load to raise the power factor to 0.95 is 790.05 KVAR.

Explanation:

Given that,

Power factor = 0.6

Power = 600 kVA

(a). We need to calculate the reactive power

Using formula of reactive power

Q=P\tan\phi...(I)

We need to calculate the \phi

Using formula of \phi

\phi=\cos^{-1}(Power\ factor)

Put the value into the formula

\phi=\cos^{-1}(0.6)

\phi=53.13^{\circ}

Put the value of Φ in equation (I)

Q=600\tan(53.13)

Q=799.99\ kVAR

(b). We draw the power triangle

(c). We need to calculate the reactive power of a capacitor to be connected across the load to raise the power factor to 0.95

Using formula of reactive power

Q'=600\tan(0.95)

Q'=9.94\ KVAR

We need to calculate the difference between Q and Q'

Q''=Q-Q'

Put the value into the formula

Q''=799.99-9.94

Q''=790.05\ KVAR

Hence, (a). The reactive power is 799.99 KVAR.

(c). The reactive power of a capacitor to be connected across the load to raise the power factor to 0.95 is 790.05 KVAR.

At its closest point, Mercury is approximately 46 million kilometers from the sun. What is this distance in AU?
alina1380 [7]
1 astronomical unit 1 AU = 1.4960 * 10^11 meters
it is the average distance between earth and sun
mercury to sun distance is = 46,000,000 * 1000 meters
               = 4.6 * 10^9 meters = 4.6 * 10^9 / 1.4960 * 10^11  AU
               =  3.0.74 / 100  = 0.0374 AU

A 5-kg ball collides inelastically head-on with a 10-kg ball, which is initially stationary. Which of the following statements i
NARA [144]

Answer:

The magnitude of the change of velocity the 5-kg ball experiences is less than that of the 10-kg ball.

Explanation:

In inelastic collision, the total momentum is always conserved after collision but the kinetic energy is reduced.

Momentum is Mass X velocity.

5 kg ball is in motion, while 10 kg ball is stationary; that is zero velocity.

The momentum of 10 kg ball before collision is zero while the momentum of 5 kg ball before collision is more than zero. Therefore, the magnitude of change in momentum will not be equal.

Next possible options are in kinetic Energy

Initial Kinetic energy = \frac{1}{2}mu^2

Final kinetic energy =\frac{1}{2}mv^2

Change in kinetic energy = Final Kinetic Energy - Initial Kinetic Energy

Change in kinetic energy of 5kg ball = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 -\frac{1}{2}mu^2 = \frac{1}{2}m(v-u)^2

Since the 5-kg ball has initial velocity (u), the magnitude of the change in velocity will be reduced.

Change in kinetic energy of 10kg ball:

the ball is initially at rest, therefore the initial velocity (u) will be zero (0)

Δ K.E = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 -\frac{1}{2}mu^2 = \frac{1}{2}m(v-u)^2 = \frac{1}{2}m(v-0)^2 = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

From the solution above, the magnitude of the change in velocity experienced by 10 kg ball is higher than 5 kg ball.

Hence, The magnitude of the change of velocity the 5-kg ball experiences is less than that of the 10-kg ball
