Answer:

Impedance = 19.44ohms

Current = 5.14A

Power factor = 0.62

Explanation:

Impedance in an RLC AC circuit is defined as the total opposition to the flow of current in the resistor, inductor and capacitor.

Impedance Z = √R²+(Xl-Xc)²

Where R is the resistance = 12Ω

Inductance L = 0.15H

Capacitance C = 100uF = 100×10^-6F

Since Xl = 2πfL and Xc = 1/2πfC where f is the frequency.

Xl = 2π×50×0.15

Xl = 15πΩ

Xl = 47.12Ω

Xc = 1/2π×50×100×10^-6

Xc = 100/π Ω

Xc = 31.83Ω

Z =√12²+(47.12-31.83)²

Z = √144+233.78

Z = 19.44Ω

Impedance = 19.44ohms

To calculate the circuit current, we will use the expression V=IZ where V is the supply voltage = 100V

I = V/Z = 100/19.44

I = 5.14Amperes

To calculate the power factor,

Power factor = cos(theta) where;

theta = arctan(Xl-Xc)/R

theta = arctan(47.12-31.83)/12

theta = arctan(15.29/12)

theta = arctan1.27

theta = 51.78°

Power factor = cos51.78°

Power factor = 0.62

A rod of length 35.50 cm has linear density (mass per length) given by λ = 50.0 + 23.0x where x is the distance from one end, an
hram777 [196]

Answer:

(a)20.65g

(b)0.19m

Explanation:

(a) The total mass would be it's mass per length multiplied by the total lenght

0.355(50 + 23*0.355) = 20.65 g

(b) The center of mass would be at point c where the mass on the left and on the right of c is the same

Hence the mass on the left side would be half of its total mass which is 20.65/2 = 10.32 g

c(50 + 23c) = 10.32

23c^2 + 50c - 10.32 = 0

c \approx 0.19m

Answer:

Hey

Unlike visible light, X-rays can go through you without getting absorbed. But some of it gets absorbed but most of it passes through, this tiny bit that does get absorbed shows you the image of the baby.

Can you make the work output of a machine greater than the work input?
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

It is<em> impossible</em> to construct a machine which produces the <em>work output greater than the work input.</em>

Let us consider the II law of thermodynamics.

According to Kelvin Plank's statement any engine/machine does not give hundred percent efficiency. And violating the PMM-II(Perpetual motion of machine II kind), Always some amount of energy transferred  to the sink or surroundings.

Therefore

                     W(ouput) = Q₁-Q₂

There are many reasons to lower the work output, just for an example friction between the mating parts reduces the work output.
