A generator's maximum output is 220 V. What is the rms potential difference?

1 answer:

3 0

The rms potential difference is defined as the peak value of the potential difference divided by the square root of 2:
$V_{rms} = \frac{V_0}{ \sqrt{2} }$
where
$V_0$ is the peak value of the voltage (the maximum voltage).

The generator in our problem has a maximum voltage of $V_0=220 V$ , so its rms potential difference is
$V_{rms}= \frac{V_0}{ \sqrt{2} }=155.6 V$

A big wheel at a theme park has a diameter of 14m and people on the ride complete one revolution in 24s. calculate the distance

just olya [345]

Explanation:

We'll call the radius r and the diameter d:

We also assume that the riders are at a distance r = d/2 = 7m from the center of the wheel.

The period of the wheel is 24s. The tangent velocity of the wheel (and the riders) will be: (2pi/T)*r = 0.8 m/s (circa).

It means that in 3 minutes (180 seconds) they'll run 0.8 m/s * 180s = 144m.

Hopefully I understood the question. If yes, that's the answer.

How fast is a wave traveling if it has a wavelength of 7 meters and a frequency of 11 Hz?

pashok25 [27]

Answer:

$\huge{ \boxed{ \bold{ \sf{77 \: m/s}}}}$

☯ Question :

How fast is a wave travelling if it has a wavelength of 7 meters and a frequency of 11 Hz?

☯ $\underbrace{ \sf{Required \: Answer : }}$

☥ Given :

Wavelength ( λ ) = 7 meters
Frequency ( f ) = 11 Hz

☥ To find :

Speed of sound ( v ) = ?

☄ We know ,

$\boxed{ \sf{v = f \times λ}}$

where ,

v = speed of sound
f = frequency
λ = wavelength

Now, substitute the values and solve for v.

➺ $\sf{v = 11 \times 7}$

➺ $\boxed{ \sf{v = 77 \: m/s}}$

-------------------------------------------------------------------

✑ Additional Info :

Frequency : The number of complete vibrations made by a particle of a body in one second is called it's frequency. It is denoted by the letter f . The SI unit of frequency is hertz ( Hz ).

Wavelength : The distance between two consecutive compressions or rarefactions of a sound wave is called wavelength of that wave. It is denoted by λ ( lambda ) and it's SI unit is m.

Speed of a sound wave : The distance covered by a sound wave in one second is called speed of sound wave. It depends on the product of wavelength and frequency of the wave.

Hope I helped!

Have a wonderful time! ツ

A 1.00 kg object is attached to a horizontal spring. the spring is initially stretched by 0.500 m, and the object is released fr

valina [46]

The spring is initially stretched, and the mass released from rest (v=0). The next time the speed becomes zero again is when the spring is fully compressed, and the mass is on the opposite side of the spring with respect to its equilibrium position, after a time t=0.100 s. This corresponds to half oscillation of the system. Therefore, the period of a full oscillation of the system is
$T=2 t = 2 \cdot 0.100 s = 0.200 s$
Which means that the frequency is
$f= \frac{1}{T}= \frac{1}{0.200 s}=5 Hz$
and the angular frequency is
$\omega=2 \pi f = 2 \pi (5 Hz)=31.4 rad/s$

In a spring-mass system, the maximum velocity of the object is given by
$v_{max} = A \omega$
where A is the amplitude of the oscillation. In our problem, the amplitude of the motion corresponds to the initial displacement of the object (A=0.500 m), therefore the maximum velocity is
$v_{max} = A \omega = (0.500 m)(31.4 rad/s)= 15.7 m/s$

During an earthquake you should.

White raven [17]

Well, you should TAKE COVER UNDER A STUDY DESK, TABLE OR AGAINST AN INSIDE WALL. Which is C. This is because, doing this protects you from the falling objects. If you do A or B, you will probably get crushed by falling objects because you are exposed. Hope I helped.
