FIrst, just write down what we know :)

1. 1 mile = 1.6klm
2. There are 3600 seconds in an hr (<em>60s x 60mins = 3600</em>).

Now to get to <em>meters per second</em> (m/s) we need to first work out <em>meters per </em><em>hr</em> (simply convert miles to klm and then multiply by 1000)<em>.</em>

60 x 1.6 = 96 klm/hr x 1000 = 96,000 meters/hr

Now we know this, we can simply divide the meters per hr by <em>how many seconds there are in 1hr</em> to get meters per second:

96000 / 3600 = 26.67m/s

An AC generator supplies 44 rms volts to a 60-Ω resistor at 60 Hz. What is the maximum current in the resistor?
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

1.0639 A

Explanation:

We have given rms voltage V = 44 volt

Resistance = 60 ohm

According to ohm's law V=iR

So 44=i\times 60

i=\frac{44}{60}=0.7333A this is the rms current but we have to find the maximum current

So maximum current i_m=\sqrt{2}i_{rms}=1.414\times 0.7333=1.03693A

In which type of indicating valve is the valve stem housed in a hollow metal post that contains a movable plate with a small gla
Sergio [31]

Answer:

Post indicator valve

Explanation:

Post Indicator Valves are commonly used to control the water flow of sprinkler systems used in public and private buildings, warehouses, and factories for fire suppression. PIVs control water flow from the public system into the building's fire suppression system.

An electric ceiling fan is rotating about a fixed axis with an initial angular velocity magnitude of 0.220 rev/s . The magnitude
matrenka [14]

Answer:

1) The fan's angular velocity after 0.208 seconds is approximately 2.585 rad/s

2) The number of revolutions the blade has travelled in 0.208 s is approximately 0.066 revolutions

3) The tangential speed of a point on the tip of the blade at time t = 0.208 s is approximately 1.034 m/s

4) The magnitude of the tangential acceleration of a point on the tip of the blade at time t = 0.208 seconds is approximately 2.312 m/s²

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The initial velocity of the fan, n = 0.220 rev/s

The magnitude of the angular acceleration = 0.920 rev/s²

The direction of the angular acceleration and the angular velocity = Clockwise

The diameter of the circle formed by the electric ceiling fan blades, D = 0.800 m

1) The initial angular velocity of the fan, ω₀ = 2·π × n = 2·π × 0.220 rev/s = 1.38230076758 rad/s

The angular acceleration of the fan, α = 2·π×0.920 rad/s² = 5.78053048261 rad/s²

The fan's angular velocity, 'ω', after a time t = 0.208 seconds has passed is given as follows;

ω = ω₀ + α·t

From which we have;

ω = 1.38230076758 rad/s + 5.78053048261 rad/s × 0.208 s = 2.58465110796 rad/s

The fan's angular velocity after 0.208 seconds is ω ≈ 2.585 rad/s

2) The number of revolutions the blade has travelled in the given time interval is given from the angle turned, 'θ', in the given time as follows;

θ = ω₀·t + 1/2·α·t²

θ = 1.38230076758 × 0.208 + 1/2 × 5.78053048261 × 0.208² = 0.41256299505 radians

2·π radians = 1 revolution

∴ 0.41256299505 radians = 0.41256299505 radian× 1 revolution/(2·π radian) = 0.06566144 revolution

The number of revolutions the blade has travelled in 0.208 s ≈ 0.066 revolutions

3) The tangential speed of a point on the tip of the blade at time t = 0.208 s is given as follows;

The tangential speed, v_t = ω × r = ω × D/2

At t = 0.208 s, ω = 2.58465110796 rad/s, therefore, we have;

v_t = ω × D/2 = 2.58465110796 × 0.800/2 = 1.0338604413

The tangential speed, v_t = 1.0338604413 m/s

The tangential speed ≈ 1.034 m/s

4)  The magnitude of the tangential acceleration of a point on the tip of the blade at time t = 0.208 seconds, 'a' is given as follows;

a = α × r = α × D/2

a = 5.78053048261 × 0.800/2 = 2.31221219304

The tangential acceleration, a ≈ 2.312 m/s²
