An electric motor rotates 60 times per second if the alternating current source is 60 Hz. How many times will an electric motor

valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

180,000

Explanation:

Frequency is a quantity that is measured in Hertz [Hz] and it represents the number of rotations per second.

A motor with a frequency of 50 Hz will rotate 50 times per second.

Since we don't want to know how many times it rotates per second, but per hour. The first step is to find how many seconds there are in an hour and then multiply that amount by 50.

Seconds in an hour:

there are 60 seconds per minute, and 60 minutes per hour, thus there are

60*60 = 3,600 seconds in an hour

We know that the motor will rotate 50 times per second so to find the number of rotations in 1 hour = 3,600 seconds we multiply:

50*3,600 = 180,000 rotations

Answer:

See below ~

Explanation:

An object will sink in water when its density is greater than that of water, which is 1 g/cm³.

Volume of the box is 1331 cm³. (11³)

Maximum mass of sand will be 1331 g. [because 1331/1331 = 1 g/cm³]

Volume of sand = Mass of sand / Density of sand
Volume (sand) = 1331/3.5
Volume (sand) = 380.29 cm³

If the volume of sand is greater than 380.29 cm³, the box will sink in water.

A ray of light passes from air into a block of clear plastic. How does the angle of incidence in the air compare to the angle of

andre [41]

Answer:

The angle of incidence is greater than the angle of refraction

Explanation:

Refraction occurs when a light wave passes through the boundary between two mediums.

When a ray of light is refracted, it changes speed and direction, according to Snell's Law:

$n_1 sin \theta_1 = n_2 sin \theta_2$

where :

$n_1$ is the index of refraction of the 1st medium

$n_2$ is the index of refraction of the 2nd medium

$\theta_1$ is the angle of incidence (the angle between the incident ray and the normal to the boundary)

$\theta_2$ is the angle of refraction (the angle between the refracted ray and the normal to the boundary)

In this problem, we have a ray of light passing from air into clear plastic. We have:

$n_1=1.00$ (index of refraction of air)

$n_2=1.50$ approx. (index of refraction in clear plastic)

Snell's Law can be rewritten as

$sin \theta_2 =\frac{n_1}{n_2}sin \theta_1$

And since $n_2>n_1$ , we have

$\frac{n_1}{n_2}$

And so

$\theta_2$

Which means that

The angle of incidence is greater than the angle of refraction
