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 !

Consider a cyclotron in which a beam of particles of positive charge q and mass m is moving along a circular path restricted by
Ulleksa [173]

A) v=\sqrt{\frac{2qV}{m}}

B) r=\frac{mv}{qB}

C) T=\frac{2\pi m}{qB}

D) \omega=\frac{qB}{m}

E) r=\frac{\sqrt{2mK}}{qB}

Explanation:

A)

When the particle is accelerated by a potential difference V, the change (decrease) in electric potential energy of the particle is given by:

\Delta U = qV

where

q is the charge of the particle (positive)

On the other hand, the change (increase) in the kinetic energy of the particle is (assuming it starts from rest):

\Delta K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

m is the mass of the particle

v is its final speed

According to the law of conservation of energy, the change (decrease) in electric potential energy is equal to the increase in kinetic energy, so:

qV=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

And solving for v, we find the speed v at which the particle enters the cyclotron:

v=\sqrt{\frac{2qV}{m}}

B)

When the particle enters the region of magnetic field in the cyclotron, the magnetic force acting on the particle (acting perpendicular to the motion of the particle) is

F=qvB

where B is the strength of the magnetic field.

This force acts as centripetal force, so we can write:

F=m\frac{v^2}{r}

where r is the radius of the orbit.

Since the two forces are equal, we can equate them:

qvB=m\frac{v^2}{r}

And solving for r, we find the radius of the orbit:

r=\frac{mv}{qB} (1)

C)

The period of revolution of a particle in circular motion is the time taken by the particle to complete one revolution.

It can be calculated as the ratio between the length of the circumference (2\pi r) and the velocity of the particle (v):

T=\frac{2\pi r}{v} (2)

From eq.(1), we can rewrite the velocity of the particle as

v=\frac{qBr}{m}

Substituting into(2), we can rewrite the period of revolution of the particle as:

T=\frac{2\pi r}{(\frac{qBr}{m})}=\frac{2\pi m}{qB}

And we see that this period is indepedent on the velocity.

D)

The angular frequency of a particle in circular motion is related to the period by the formula

\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T} (3)

where T is the period.

The period has been found in part C:

T=\frac{2\pi m}{qB}

Therefore, substituting into (3), we find an expression for the angular frequency of motion:

\omega=\frac{2\pi}{(\frac{2\pi m}{qB})}=\frac{qB}{m}

And we see that also the angular frequency does not depend on the velocity.

E)

For this part, we use again the relationship found in part B:

v=\frac{qBr}{m}

which can be rewritten as

r=\frac{mv}{qB} (4)

The kinetic energy of the particle is written as

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

So, from this we can find another expression for the velocity:

v=\sqrt{\frac{2K}{m}}

And substitutin into (4), we find:

r=\frac{\sqrt{2mK}}{qB}

So, this is the radius of the cyclotron that we must have in order to accelerate the particles at a kinetic energy of K.

Note that for a cyclotron, the acceleration of the particles is achevied in the gap between the dees, where an electric field is applied (in fact, the magnetic field does zero work on the particle, so it does not provide acceleration).

A solenoidal coil with 26 turns of wire is wound tightly around another coil with 350 turns. The inner solenoid is 20.0 cm long
noname [10]

Answer:

Part a)

\phi = 2.76 \times 10^{-7} T m^2

Part B)

M = 5.52 \times 10^{-5} H

Part C)

EMF = 0.1 V/s

Explanation:

Part a)

Magnetic field due to a long ideal solenoid is given by

B = \mu_0 n i

n = number of turns per unit length

n = \frac{N}{L}

n = \frac{350}{0.20}

n = 1750 turn/m

now we know that magnetic field due to solenoid is

B = (4\pi \times 10^{-7})(1750)(0.100)

B = 2.2 \times 10^{-4} T

Now magnetic flux due to this magnetic field is given by

\phi = B.A

\phi = (2.2 \times 10^{-4})(\pi r^2)

\phi = (2.2 \times 10^{-4})(\pi(0.02)^2)

\phi = 2.76 \times 10^{-7} T m^2

Part B)

Now for mutual inductance we know that

\phi_{total} = M i

\phi_{total} = N\phi

\phi_{total} = 20(2.76 \times 10^{-4})

\phi_{total} = 5.52 \times 10^{-6}

now we have

M = \frac{5.52 \times 10^{-6}}{0.100}

M = 5.52 \times 10^{-5} H

Part C)

As we know that induced EMF is given as

EMF = M \frac{di}{dt}

EMF = 5.52 \times 10^{-5} (1800)

EMF = 0.1 V/s

PLEASE HELP ASAP!! What are 3 types of forces acting on your marshmallow (or other flying object) when it impacts it’s target? C
Alekssandra [29.7K]
•Every action has an equal and opposite reaction (the object is putting force on the target, and the target is putting an equal amount of force back)
•Am object in motion (the object) will stay in motion unless an outside force acts upon it (the Target)

And as for the third one I really don’t know, those seem to be the only two, I’m sorry. I did what a could, Hope it kinda helps :)
