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)

melisa1 [442]

Answer:

165.77J

Explanation:

M₁ = 0.107kg

u₁ = 300m/s

m₂ = 3kg

u₂ = 0

v =

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = (m₁ + m₂)V

(0.107*300) + 0 = (0.107 + 3)V

V = 32.1 / 3.107 = 10.33m/s

kinetic energy of the system after collision =

½m1v² + ½m2v²

K.E = ½(m1 + m2)v²

K.E = ½(0.107+3) * 10.33²

K.E = 165.77J

The power output of a laser is measured by its wattage, the number of joules of energy it radiates per second (1 W = 1 J s-1). A

viva [34]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Wavelength of red light, $\lambda=676.4\ nm=676.4\times 10^{-9}\ m$

Power of the laser, $P=300\ mW=0.3\ W$

(a) The energy carried by each photon is given by :

$E=\dfrac{hc}{\lambda}$

$E=\dfrac{6.63\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{676.4\times 10^{-9}}$

$E=2.94\times 10^{-19}\ J$

(b) Let n is the number of photons emitted by the laser per second. It can be calculated as :

$n=\dfrac{Power}{Energy\ of\ one\ photon}$

$n=\dfrac{0.3}{2.94\times 10^{-19}}$

$n=1.02\times 10^{18}\ photon/s$

Hence, this is the required solution.
