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 bus starts from rest.if the acceleration is 2m/s square, find
MrMuchimi

Answer:

The velocity after 2 seconds can be found through:

V = u +a*t

Where V is final velocity, u is initial velocity, a is acceleration and t is time.

V = 0 + 2* 2= 4 meters/second

The distance (s) can be found through:

V^2= u^2 +2*a* s

Where V is final velocity, u is initial velocity, a is acceleration.

4^2= 0^2 + 2 *2*s

16= 0 + 4s

s= 4 meters

Distance (s) can also be found through:

s= ut + 1/2 at^2

s= 0+ 1/2 *2*2^2= 1 *2*2

s= 4 meters
