The flash unit in a camera uses a special circuit to "step up" the 3.0 V from the batteries to 290 V, which charges a capacitor.

The capacitor is then discharged through a flashlamp. The discharge takes 10 μs, and the average power dissipated in the flashlamp is 1.0×105 W. What is the capacitance of the capacitator?

Answer:

Therefore the capacitance of the capacitor is 2.38 * 10⁻⁵F

Explanation:

We apply the concepts related to Power and energy stored in a capacitor.

By definition we know that power is represented as

$P = \frac{E}{t}$

Where,

E= Energy

t = time

to find the Energy we have,

$E = P*t$

$P = 1*10^5Wt = 10*10^{-6}s$

$E= (1*10^5)(10*10^{-6})E = 1.0J$

With the energy found we can know calculate the Capacitance in a capacitor through the energy for capacitor equation, that is

$E=\frac{1}{2}CV^2$

$C = \frac{2E}{V^2}\\\\\\\frac{2\times 1 }{290^2 - 3^2\\} \\= 2.38 \times 10^-^5F$

Therefore the capacitance of the capacitor is 2.38 * 10⁻⁵F

Answer:

24 μF.

Explanation:

Given:

Time, t = 10 μs

P = 1.0×105 W

V1 = 3 V

V2 = 290 V

Power, P = Energy/time

Energy = 1/2 × C × V^2

1 × 10-5 × 1 × 10^-5 = 1/2 × C × (290^2 - 3^2)

C = 2/84091

= 2.38 × 10^-5 F

= 24 μF

A 60-W, 120-V light bulb and a 200-W, 120-V light bulb are connected in series across a 240-V line. Assume that the resistance o

gulaghasi [49]

A. 0.77 A

Using the relationship:

$P=\frac{V^2}{R}$

where P is the power, V is the voltage, and R the resistance, we can find the resistance of each bulb.

For the first light bulb, P = 60 W and V = 120 V, so the resistance is

$R_1=\frac{V^2}{P}=\frac{(120 V)^2}{60 W}=240 \Omega$

For the second light bulb, P = 200 W and V = 120 V, so the resistance is

$R_1=\frac{V^2}{P}=\frac{(120 V)^2}{200 W}=72 \Omega$

The two light bulbs are connected in series, so their equivalent resistance is

$R=R_1 + R_2 = 240 \Omega + 72 \Omega =312 \Omega$

The two light bulbs are connected to a voltage of

V = 240 V

So we can find the current through the two bulbs by using Ohm's law:

$I=\frac{V}{R}=\frac{240 V}{312 \Omega}=0.77 A$

B. 142.3 W

The power dissipated in the first bulb is given by:

$P_1=I^2 R_1$

where

I = 0.77 A is the current

$R_1 = 240 \Omega$ is the resistance of the bulb

Substituting numbers, we get

$P_1 = (0.77 A)^2 (240 \Omega)=142.3 W$

C. 42.7 W

The power dissipated in the second bulb is given by:

$P_2=I^2 R_2$

where

I = 0.77 A is the current

$R_2 = 72 \Omega$ is the resistance of the bulb

Substituting numbers, we get

$P_2 = (0.77 A)^2 (72 \Omega)=42.7 W$

D. The 60-W bulb burns out very quickly

The power dissipated by the resistance of each light bulb is equal to:

$P=\frac{E}{t}$

where

E is the amount of energy dissipated

t is the time interval

From part B and C we see that the 60 W bulb dissipates more power (142.3 W) than the 200-W bulb (42.7 W). This means that the first bulb dissipates energy faster than the second bulb, so it also burns out faster.

Argon gas enters steadily an adiabatic turbine at 900 kPa and 450C with a velocity of 80 m/s and leaves at 150 kPa with a veloc

Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

Temperature at the exit = $267.3 C$

Explanation:

For the steady energy flow through a control volume, the power output is given as

$W_{out}= -m_{f}(h_{2}-h_{1} + \frac{v_{2}^{2}}{2} - \frac{v_{1}^{2}}{2})$

Inlet area of the turbine = $60cm^{2}= 0.006m^{2}$

To find the mass flow rate, we can apply the ideal gas laws to estimate the specific volume, from there we can get the mass flow rate.

Assuming Argon behaves as an Ideal gas, we have the specific volume $v_{1}$

as

$v_{1}=\frac{RT_{1}}{P_{1}}=\frac{0.2081\times723}{900}=0.1672m^{3}/kg$

$m_{f}=\frac{1}{v_{1}}\times A_{1}V_{1} = \frac{1}{0.1672}\times(0.006)(80)=2.871kg/sec$

for Ideal gasses, the enthalpy change can be calculated using the formula

$h_{2}-h_{1}=C_{p}(T_{2}-T_{1})$

hence we have

$W_{out}= -m_{f}((C_{p}(T_{2}-T_{1}) + \frac{v_{2}^{2}}{2} - \frac{v_{1}^{2}}{2})$

$250= -2.871((0.5203(T_{2}-450) + \frac{150^{2}}{2\times 1000} - \frac{80^{2}}{2\times 1000})$

<em>Note: to convert the Kinetic energy term to kilojoules, it was multiplied by 1000</em>

evaluating the above equation, we have $T_{2}=267.3C$

Hence, the temperature at the exit = $267.3 C$

A 1,200 kg car accelerates at 3 m/s2. What net force is the car experiencing during thisacceleration?0 3600 NO 2000 N0 2400 NOON

Mama L [17]

m = mass = 1,200 kg

A = acceleration = 3 m/s^2

Apply Newton's second law:

Force = mass x acceleration

F = 1,200 x 3 =3600 N

The net force the car experiences is 3600 N
