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 !

In an Internal Combustion Engine, the fuel is singed in the chamber or vessel. Example: Diesel or Petrol motor utilized as a part of Cars. 
The internal engine has its vitality touched off in the barrel, as 99.9% of motors today. In an External Combustion Engine, the inner working fuel is not consumed. Here the liquid is being warmed from an outer source. The fuel is warmed and extended through the interior instrument of the motor bringing about work. Eg. Steam Turbine, Steam motor Trains. An outer burning case is a steam motor where the warming procedure is done in a kettle outside the motor.

A light bulb operating at a dc voltage of 120 V has a power rating of 60 W. How much current is flowing through this bulb
densk [106]
  • Voltage=V=120V
  • Power=P=60W

  • Current=I

\\ \rm\rightarrowtail I=\dfrac{P}{V}=\dfrac{60}{120}=\dfrac{1}{2}=0.5A

Which best summarizes a concept related to the work-energy theorem?
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

When work is positive, the environment does work on an object.

Explanation:

According to the work-energy theorem, the net work done by the forces on a body or an object is equal to the change produced in the kinetic energy of the body or an object.

The concept that summarizes a concept related to the work-energy theorem is that ''When work is positive, the environment does work on an object.''
