You buy a 75-W lightbulb in Europe, where electricity is delivered to homes at 240V. If you use the lightbulb in the United Stat

es at 120 V (assume its resistance does not change), how bright will it be relative to 75-W 129-V bulbs?

Answer:

The bulb will be \frac{1}{4} times as bright as it is in Europe.

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Power of bulb in Europe = 75 W

Voltage provided in Europe = 240 V

Voltage provided in United Stated = 120 V

Now,

We know,

Power = Voltage² ÷ Resistance

Therefore,

75 = 240² ÷ Resistance

or

Resistance = 240² ÷ 75

or

Resistance = 768 Ω

Therefore,

Power in United States = Voltage² ÷ Resistance

= 120² ÷ 768

= 18.75 W

Therefore,

Ratio of powers

\frac{\text{Power in united states}}{\text{Power in Europe}}=\frac{18.75}{75}

= \frac{1}{4}

Hence,

The bulb will be \frac{1}{4} times as bright as it is in Europe.

Define the word vision statement​
Elena L [17]

Answer:

A vision statement describes what a company desires to achieve in the long-run, generally in a time frame of five to ten years, or sometimes even longer. It depicts a vision of what the company will look like in the future and sets a defined direction for the planning and execution of corporate-level strategies.

Explanation:

While companies should not be too ambitious in defining their long-term goals, it is critical to set a bigger and further target in a vision statement that communicates a company’s aspirations and motivates the audience. Below are the main elements of an effective vision statement:

-Forward-looking

-Motivating and inspirational

-Reflective of a company’s culture and core values

-Aimed at bringing benefits and improvements to the organization in the future

-Defines a company’s reason for existence and where it is heading

A vertical piston-cylinder device initially contains 0.2 m3 of air at 20°C. The mass of the piston is such that it maintains a c
Ann [662]

Answer:

Amount of air left in the cylinder=m_{2}=0.357 Kg

The amount of heat transfer=Q=0

Explanation:

Given

Initial pressure=P1=300 KPa

Initial volume=V1=0.2m^{3}

Initial temperature=T_{1}=20 C

Final Volume=V_{2}=0.1 m^{3}

Using gas equation

m_{1}=((P_{1}*V_{1})/(R*T_{1}))

m1==(300*0.2)/(.287*293)

m1=0.714 Kg

Similarly

m2=(P2*V2)/R*T2

m2=(300*0.1)/(0.287*293)

m2=0.357 Kg

Now calculate mass of air left,where me is the mass of air left.

me=m2-m1

me=0.715-0.357

mass of air left=me=0.357 Kg

To find heat transfer we need to apply energy balance equation.

Q=(m_{e}*h_{e})+(m_{2}*h_{2})-(m_{1}*h_{1})

Where me=m1-m2

And as the temperature remains constant,hence the enthalpy also remains constant.

h1=h2=he=h

Q=(me-(m1-m2))*h

me=m1-me

Thus heat transfer=Q=0

Air at 80 kPa and 10°C enters an adiabatic diffuser steadily with a velocity of 150 m/s and leaves with a low velocity at a pre
il63 [147K]

Answer:

The exit temperature is 293.74 K.

Explanation:

Given that

At inlet condition(1)

P =80 KPa

V=150 m/s

T=10 C

Exit area is 5 times the inlet area

Now

A_2=5A_1

If consider that density of air is not changing from inlet to exit then by using continuity equation

A_1V_1=A_2V_2

So   A_1\times 150=5A_1V_2

V_2=30m/s

Now from first law for open system

h_1+\dfrac{V_1^2}{2}+Q=h_2+\dfrac{V_2^2}{2}+w

Here Q=0 and w=0

h_1+\dfrac{V_1^2}{2}=h_2+\dfrac{V_2^2}{2}

When air is treating as ideal gas  

h=C_pT

Noe by putting the values

h_1+\dfrac{V_1^2}{2}=h_2+\dfrac{V_2^2}{2}

1.005\times 283+\dfrac{150^2}{2000}=1.005\times T_2+\dfrac{30^2}{2000}

T_2=293.74K

So the exit temperature is 293.74 K.

Advantage of a sheave wheel in a shaft headgear<br>​
NikAS [45]

Answer:

sorry if wrong

Explanation:

One sheave means that you are using a single drum winder. They are the worst! Double drum winders control easier, brake better and are much more efficient. They save time ( two skips or cages) and can be clutched to perform faster shift transport. A single drum is slow, unbalanced and can be a nightmare if it trips out during hoisting. If the brake system is not perfect it can be a real hairy experience. For a runaway single drum, there is no counterbalance effect. It always runs to destruction. With a double drum, the driver still has a chance to control the winder to a certain extent and he has two sets of brakes to rely on. A single sheave could also mean a shaft with a single compartment. No second means of escape unless there are ladders or stairways. Not a very healthy situation.

Those are just a few points. I am sure much more can be said in favor of a double drum winder and two or more sheaves in the headgear. Most of the shafts I have worked at have multiple winders and up to ten compartments. They all have a small single drum service winder for emergencies and moves of personnel during shift times. They are referred to as the Mary - Annes. Apparently, the name originated in the U.K. where an aristocratic mine owner named the first such winder after his mistress.
