You are an electrician installing the wiring in a new home. The homeowner desires that a ceiling fan with light kits be installe

d in five different rooms. Each fan contains a light kit that can accommodate four 60-watt lamps. Each fan motor draws a current of 1.8 amperes when operated on high speed. It is assumed that each fan can operate more than three hours at a time and therefore must be considered a continuous-duty device. The fans are to be connected to a 15-ampere circuit. Because the devices are continuous-duty, the circuit current must be limited to 80% of the continuous connected load. How many fans can be connected to a single 15-ampere circuit

Answer:

3 fans per 15 A circuit

Explanation:

From the question and the data given, the light load let fan would have been

(60 * 4)/120 = 240/120 = 2 A.

Next, we add the current of the fan motor to it, so,

2 A + 1.8 A = 3.8 A.

Since the devices are continuos duty and the circuit current must be limited to 80%, then the Breaker load max would be

0.8 * 15 A = 12 A.

Now, we can get the number if fans, which will be

12 A/ 3.8 A = 3.16 fans, or approximately, 3 fans per 15 A circuit.

Answer:

For a velocity versus time graph how do you know what the velocity is at a certain  time?

Ans: By drawing a line parallel to the y axis (Velocity axis) and perpendicular to the co-ordinate of the Time on the x axis (Time Axis). The point on the slope of the graph where this line intersects, will be the desired velocity at the certain time.

_____________________________________________________

How do you know the acceleration at a certain time?

Ans: We\ know\ that\ acceleration = \frac{Final\ velocity-Initial\ Velocity}{Time\ taken}

Hence,

By dividing the difference of the Final and Initial Velocity by the Time Taken, we could find the acceleration.

_________________________________________________________

How do you know the  Displacement at a certain time?

Ans: As Displacement equals to the area enclosed by the slope of the Velocity-Time Graph, By finding the area under the slope till the perpendicular at the desired time, we find the Displacement.

PART A:
olga55 [171]

Answer:

4 m/s^{2}

Explanation:

From Equilibrium of forces, The Tension in string is cancelled by the Weight (product of mass and acceleration due to gravity) of the body acting downwards.

The Net force = Mass * Acceleration.

Since Net Force = 20 Newton, Mass = 5kg, therefore;

20 = 5kg * acceleration. Dividing the RHS and LHS of the equation by 5, we have;

Acceleration = \frac{20}{5} which gives 4.

Note: RHS means Right Hand Side.

         LHS means Left Hand Side.

Mariana [72]

Answer:

451.13 J/kg.°C

Explanation:

Applying,

Q = cm(t₂-t₁)............... Equation 1

Where Q = Heat, c = specific heat capacity of iron, m = mass of iron, t₂= Final temperature, t₁ = initial temperature.

Make c the subject of the equation

c = Q/m(t₂-t₁).............. Equation 2

From the question,

Given: Q = 1500 J, m = 133 g = 0.113 kg, t₁ = 20 °C, t₂ = 45 °C

Substitute these values into equation 2

c = 1500/[0.133(45-20)]

c = 1500/(0.133×25)

c = 1500/3.325

c = 451.13 J/kg.°C
