A load of 1 kW takes a current of 5 A from a 230 V supply. Calculate the power factor.

Physics
1 answer:
Pachacha [2.7K]4 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Power factor = 0.87 (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Load = 1 Kw = 1000 watt

Current (I) = 5 A

Supply (V) = 230 V

Find:

Power factor.

Computation:

Power factor = watts / (V)(I)

Power factor = 1,000 / (230)(5)

Power factor = 1,000 / (1,150)

Power factor = 0.8695

Power factor = 0.87 (Approx)

Comparing X-ray to radio wave, which has a shorter wavelength?
Daniel [21]

Answer:

x-ray

Explanation:

X-rays can penetrate through matter because of their high frequencies while radio waves are not able to do so as much. If you think about it, taking an x-ray requires a lot more energy than for radio waves to allow you to listen to songs on the radio. Hope this helps :)

Calculate the electric potential at point A, the middle of the rectangle, and at point B, the middle of the right-hand side of t
dsp73

Answer:

With the help of formula.

Explanation:

We can calculate the electric potential of any point through the formula of electric potential which is given below.

Electric potential =  Coulomb constant x charge/ distance of separation.

Symbolically it can be written as,  V = k q/ r where

V = electric potential  

k = Coulomb constant

q = charge

r = distance of separation

If we have all these data, we can simply put the data in the formula and we will get the value of electric potential.

Imagine that a bowling ball needs to be lifted 1.5 meters, and its gravitational potential energy is 90 joules. How much does th
Vikki [24]

Answer: 6.12 kg

Explanation:

Since Mass of ball = ? (let the unknown value be Z)

Acceleration due to gravity, g= 9.8m/s^2

Height, h = 1.5 metres

Gravitational potential energy GPE = 90J

Gravitational potential energy depends on the weight of the ball, the action of gravity and height.

Thus, GPE = Mass m x Acceleration due to gravity g x Height h

90J = Z x 9.8m/s^2 x 1.5m

90 = Z x 14.7

Z = 90/14.7

Z = 6.12 kg

Thus, the bowling ball weigh 6.12 kilograms

What force causes a falling object to gain kinetic energy?
hoa [83]

Answer:

Gravitational Potential Energy

Explanation:

As an object falls from rest, its gravitational potential energy is converted to kinetic energy. Conservation of energy as a tool permits the calculation of the velocity just before it hits the surface.
