When AC Electric is producing 120 volts with 20 amps, What controls the the 120 volts at 60cycles a second?

Physics

Answer:

Cycles per second is dependent on the construction of the alternator and the 120 volts is dependent upon the current and resistance in the circuit according to the ohms law.

Explanation:

We are given with AC of 120 volts, 20 amperes and 60 hertz frequency.

<u>According to the Ohm's law, we find its resistance:</u>

R=\frac{V}{I}

R=\frac{120}{20}

R=6\ \Omega

So, this 6 ohm resistance controls the current controls the magnitude of the AC current, while the frequency of the current remains constant and depends upon the construction and rotational speed of the armature of the alternator producing the current.

Here the value of frequency is the number of times the current changes its direction or the polarity in one second.

Why does it take longer to boil a kettle of water than to warm the same kettle of water to a lower temperature?
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

The reason that it takes longer to get the water to boiling temperature than it is to cool it down again is because heating in the most simple sense is inefficient and will cause a lot if energy lost while cooling is to be turn's into quite a efficient process.

Two parallel plates 19 cm on a side are given equal and opposite charges of magnitude 2.0 ✕ 10^−9 C. The plates are 1.8 mm apart
Romashka [77]

Answer:

E   = 5291.00 N/C

Explanation:

Expression for capacitance is

C = \frac{\epsilon  A}{d}

where

A is area of square plate

D = DISTANCE BETWEEN THE PLATE

C = \frac{\epsilon\times(19\times 10^{-2})^2}{1.5\times 10^{-3}}

C = 24.06 \epsilon

C = 24.06\times 8.854\times 10^{-12} F

C =2.1\times 10^{-10} F

We know that capacitrnce and charge is related as

V = \frac{Q}{C}

 = \frac{2\tiimes 10^{-9}}{2.\times 10^{-10}}

v = 9.523 V

Electric field is given as

E = \frac{V}{d}

   = \frac{9.52}{1.8*10^{-3}}

E   = 5291.00 V/m

E   = 5291.00 N/C

A 200 kg weather rocket is loaded with 100 kg of fuel and fired straight up. It accelerates upward at 35 m/s2 for 35 s , then ru
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

T = 295.57 s

Explanation:

given,

mass of the rocket = 200 Kg

mass of the fuel = 100 Kg

acceleration = 35 m/s²

time, t = 35 s

time taken by the rocket to hit the ground, = ?

Final speed of the rocket when fuel is empty

using equation of motion

v = u + a t

v = 0 + 35 x 35

v = 1225 m/s

height of the rocket where fuel is empty

v² = u² + 2 a s

1225² = 0 + 2 x 35 x h₁

h₁ = 21437.5 m

After 35 s the rocket will be moving upward till the final velocity becomes zero.

Now, using equation of motion to find the height after 35 s

v² = u² + 2 g h₂

0² = 1225² + 2 x (-9.8) h₂

h₂ = 76562.5 m

total height = h₁ + h₂

          = 76562.5 m + 21437.5 m = 98000 m

now, time taken by before the rocket hit the ground

using equation of motion

s = u t +\dfrac{1}{2}at^2

-13500 = 1225 t -\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.8 \times t^2

negative sign is used because the distance travel by the rocket is downward.

4.9 t² - 1225 t - 13500 = 0

t = \dfrac{-(-1225)\pm \sqrt{1225^2 - 4\times 4.9 \times (-13500)}}{2\times 4.9}

t = 260.57 s

neglecting the negative sign

total time the rocket was in air

T = t₁ + t₂

T = 35 + 260.57

T = 295.57 s

Time for which rocket was in air is equal to 295.57 s.
