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)

Two dogs fight over a bone. The larger of the two pulls on the bone to the right with a force of 42 N. The smaller one pulls to

tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

Explanation:

35 N Small Dog <=======BONE=========> Bigger Dog 42 N

Fnet = Large Dog - small dog The forces are subtracted because they are acting in opposite Directions.

Fnet = 42 - 35

Fnet = 7 N

m = 2.5 kg

F = 7 N

a = ?

F = m * a

7 = 2.5 a

a = 7 / 2.5

a = 2.8 m/s^2

A beam of light strikes a sheet of glass at an angle of 56.6° with the normal in air. You observe that red light makes an angle

Yuri [45]

Answer:

(a). Index of refraction are $n_{red}$ = 1.344 & $n_{violet}$ = 1.406

(b). The velocity of red light in the glass $v_{red} =$ 2.23 × $10^{8} \ \frac{m}{s}$

The velocity of violet light in the glass $v_{violet} =$ 2.13 × $10^{8} \ \frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

We know that

Law of reflection is

$n_1 \sin\theta_{1} = n_2 \sin\theta_{2}$

Here

$\theta_1$ = angle of incidence

$\theta_2$ = angle of refraction

(a). For red light

1 × $\sin 56.6$ = $n_{red}$ × $\sin 38.4$

$n_{red}$ = 1.344

For violet light

1 × $\sin 56.6$ = $n_{violet}$ × $\sin 36.4$

$n_{violet}$ = 1.406

(b). Index of refraction is given by

$n = \frac{c}{v}$

$n_{red}$ = 1.344

$v_{red} = \frac{c}{n_{red} }$

$v_{red} = \frac{3(10^{8} )}{1.344}$

$v_{red} =$ 2.23 × $10^{8} \ \frac{m}{s}$

This is the velocity of red light in the glass.

The velocity of violet light in the glass is given by

$v_{violet} = \frac{3(10^{8} )}{1.406}$

$v_{violet} =$ 2.13 × $10^{8} \ \frac{m}{s}$

This is the velocity of violet light in the glass.
