Wow !

1 horsepower = 746 watts
2.1 horsepower = (2.1 x 746) = 1,566.6 watts

Since the motor is 71% efficient, 1,566.6 watts = 71% of the input power.

                                             1,566.6 = 0.71 P

Divide each side by 0.71 :     input Power = (1,566.6 / 0.71)  watts
(Let's leave it like that for right now.  The final answer will be more accurate
if we can avoid rounding until the very end.)

                               Input power =(voltage) x (current)

                  (1,566.6/0.71 watts) = (171 volts) x (Current)

Divide each side by  171 volts:    Current = (1,566.6) / (0.71 x 171) = 12.903 Amps.

                                                                                             Current = <em>12.9 Amperes</em>. 

Check:

               (volts x Amps) x (efficiency) = output power

               (171 x 12.9)(watts) x (71%) x (1 HP / 746 watts) =

               (171 x 12.9 x 0.71) / (746)      HP  =  <em>2.0994 HP</em>

                                               Close enough to 2.1 for Engineers !

                                                                       yay !

A bar on a hinge starts from rest and rotates with an angular acceleration α = 12 + 5t, where α is in rad/s2 and t is in seconds
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

Ф = 239.73 rad

Explanation:

α = 12 + 15×t

W = ∫α×dt

   = ∫(12 + 5×t)×dt

   = 12×t + 2.5×t^2

then:

Ф = ∫W×dt

   = ∫(12×t + 2.5×t^2)dt

   = 6×t^2 + 5/6×t^3

therefore the angle at t = 4.88s is:

Ф = 6×(4.88)^2 + 5/6×(4.88)^3

   = 239.73 rad

In 1993 Ileana Salvador of Italy walked 3.0km in under 12min. Suppose that during her walk Salvador is observed to steadily incr
padilas [110]

The distance covered is 115 m

Explanation:

The motion of Ileana is a uniformly accelerated motion (constant acceleration), therefore we can use the following suvat equation:

s=(\frac{u+v}{2})t

where

s is the distance covered

u is the initiaal velocity

v is the final velocity

t is the time elapsed

In this problem, we have:

u = 4.20 m/s

v = 5.00 m/s

t = 25.0 s

Therefore, we can re-arrange the equation to find the distance covered:

s=(\frac{4.20+5.00}{2})(25.0)=115 m

Un movil de masa 12Kg sobre el cual estan actuando varias fuerzas F_1=48N, F_2=60N y F_3=30N Calcular la aceleracion con la cual
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

Lamentablemente el problema está incompleto, pues no sabemos la dirección en la que se aplican las fuerzas. Por ello, voy a resolver el problema asumiendo dos casos. (abajo se puede ver una imagen donde se describe cada caso)

1) Todas las fuerzas están en la misma dirección.

Entonces la fuerza neta será la suma de las 3 fuerzas, entonces:

F = 48N + 60N + 30N = 138N

Y por la segunda ley de Newton sabemos que:

F = m*a

fuerza igual a masa por aceleración.

Entonces la aceleración está dada por:

a = F/m = 138N/12kg = 11.5 m/s^2

2) Segundo caso, suponemos que F1 es opuesta a F2 y F3

En este caso, la fuerza neta será:

F = F2 + F3 - F1 = 60N + 30N - 48N = 42N

En este caso, la aceleración será:

a = 42N/12kg = 3.5 m/s^2
