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 !

What is the average power output pf a weight lifter who can lift 250 kg 2.0 m in 2.0 s
liq [111]

Answer:

Power = 2.45Kw or 2450 Watts.

Explanation:

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Mass, m = 250kg

Height, h = 2m

Time, t = 2secs

We know that acceleration due to gravity, g is equal to 9.8m/s²

Power can be defined as the energy required to do work per unit time.

Mathematically, it is given by the formula;

Power = \frac {Energy}{time}

But Energy = mgh

Substituting into the equation, we have

Power = \frac {mgh}{time}

Power = \frac {250*9.8*2}{2}

Power = \frac {4900}{2}

Power = 2450 Watts

To convert to kilowatt (Kw), we would divide by 1000

Power = 2450/1000

Power = 2.45Kw.

Therefore, the average power output of the weightlifter is 2.45 Kilowatts.

What is the momentum of an object in splace
forsale [732]

Answer:

The total momentum of the universe is always the same and is equal to zero. The total momentum of an isolated system never changes. Momentum can be transferred from one body to another.

Momentum quantifies how likely an object is to stay in motion. Momentum can also be explained using the equation, p=mv, where p is equal to momentum, m is equal to mass, and v is equal to velocity.

A student uses the right-hand rule as shown.
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer: O:right

Explanation: In this case you place your finger on the current, and your fingers should curl showing the way, you must use your right hand in this case, otherwise that would mean the fingers on your left would bend way back, and snap off, (Not really lol,  just saying)

Optical tweezers use light from a laser to move single atoms and molecules around. Suppose the intensity of light from the tweez
katrin [286]

Answer:

a= 4.4×10 m/s^2

Explanation:

pressure P  = E/c

Where, E = 100 W/m^2 intensity of light

c= speed of light  = 3×10^8 m/s

P = 1000/ 3×10^8

P = 3.33×10^(-6) Pa

Force F = P×A

  • P is the pressure and c= speed of light

F = 3.33×10^{-6}×6.65×10(-29)

= 2.22×10^{-6}

acceleration a  = F/m = 2.22×10^{-6}/ 5.10×10^{-27}

a= 4.4×10 m/s^2
