Power = voltage(V) * current(I)

          = 120 * 0.5

Power = 60 watts

For what absolute value of the phase angle does a source deliver 71 % of the maximum possible power to an RLC circuit
kherson [118]

Answer: the absolute value of the phase angle is 28°

Explanation:

taking a look at expression for the instantaneous electric power in an AC circuit;

P = VI -------let this be equation 1

p is power, v is voltage and I is current;

for maximum power

P_max = V_rms × I_rms --------let this be equ 2

where P_max is the maximum power, V_rms is the rms value of voltage and I_rms is the rms value of current.

Also for average electric power in an AC circuit

P_avg = V_rms × I_rms × cos²∅ -------let this be equ 3

where P_avg is the average power and cos∅ is the power factor

now from equation 2;  P_max = V_rms × I_rms

so p_max replaces V_rms × I_rms in equation 3

we now have

P_avg = P_max × cos²∅

so we substitute

expression for the given value of the average power is

P_avg = P_max × 75%

p_avg = P_max.78/100

for the expression of the average electricity in an AC circuit

P_max.78/100 = P_max × cos²∅

78/100 = cos²∅

to get the absolute value of phase angle

∅ = cos⁻¹ ( √(78/100))

∅ =  cos⁻¹ ( 0.8832)

∅ = 27.969 ≈ 28°

Therefore the absolute value of the phase angle is 28°

9. How much work is done when a 15kg box is lifted to a height of 2 meters?
torisob [31]

Answer: W = 294 J

Explanation: Solution:

Work is expressed as the product of force and the distance of the object.

W = Fd        where F = mg

W= Fd

   = mg d

   = 15 kg ( 9.8 m/s²) ( 2m )

   = 294 J

Q9. Man who received the most altercations for a theory which later on became a revolutionary theory influenced in many areas of modern science and technology.

Q10. Fire truck is coming towards you

Explanation:

Q9. Christian  Doppler was born on 29th of November 1803 in Saltzburg. After studies in Linz and Vienna, he graduated in Mathematics. For many years, Doppler struggled to find work in academia, and for a time he worked as a bookkeeper at a factory. His academic career took him from Austria to Prague, where he became assistant at the University and later worked as professor in Prague. Back to Vienna, he was appointed as professor at the Polytechnic School and in 1850 as first director of the new Institute of Physics. While working at Vienna, his health broke down and moved Venice where he sought his eternal rest on March 17th, 1953.

During his lifetime, the man was quite controversial: a personality praised by some, but detested by others; and even as a scientist, he had a difficult time. He did publish papers on magnetism, electricity, optics and astronomy but, the discovery that allowed him to remain in history of science was the one he presented at Royal Bohemian Society of Science entitled "On the colored light of the double stars and certain other stars of the heavens" in 1842. He hypothesized that the pitch of the sound would change if the source was moving.

Doppler's ideas were initially received with a certain amount of skepticism so, in order to support his claims, he devised an experiment in 1845 with the help of colleague. He used two sets of trumpeters, one set stationary at a train station and  one set moving on an open train car. Both sets of musicians had perfect pitch and held the same note. As the train passed the station, it was obvious that the frequency of the two notes didn't match, even though the musicians were playing same note. This proved his hypothesis.

Demonstrating that the Doppler effect also held true for frequency of ligh proved more difficult and was never successfully achieved before Doppler's demise. The first experiment that revealed a Doppler shift in starlight was carried out at the beginning of twentieth century. Since then Doppler effect was proved invaluable for astronomical observations.

For the most of the academic world, he is known as physicist; but one can equally find him on the list of mathematicians and astronomers too. This is proof for the exceptional broad spectrum of application of his main discovery.

Q10. When there is increase in frequency of the sound from source, then the source is moving towards you. Hence the fire truck is coming towards you
