A series circuit that is connected to a 50 V, 60 Hz source is made up of 25 ohm resistor, capacite wieh X= 18 ohms, and inductor

Allisa [31]

Answer:

the impedance of the circuit is 25.7 ohms.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Voltage, V = 50 volts

Frequency, f = 60 Hz

Resistance, R = 25 ohms

Capacitive resistance, $X_C=18\ ohms$

Inductive resistance, $X_L=24\ ohms$

We need to find the impedance of the circuit. It is given by :

$Z=\sqrt{R^2+(X_L-X_C)^2}$

$Z=\sqrt{25^2+(24-18)^2}$

Z = 25.7 ohms

So, the impedance of the circuit is 25.7 ohms. Hence, this is the required solution.

(a) Write an equation describing a sinusoidal transverse wave traveling on a cord in the positive of a y axis with an angular wa

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Missing data: the wave number

$k=60 cm^{-1}$

(a) $z = 0.003 sin (6000y-31.4 t)$

For a transverse wave travelling in the positive y-direction and with vibration along the z-direction, the equation of the wave is

$z = A sin (ky-\omega t)$

where

A is the amplitude of the wave

k is the wave number

$\omega$ is the angular frequency

t is the time

In this situation:

A = 3.0 mm = 0.003 m is the amplitude

$k = 60 cm^{-1} = 6000 m^{-1}$ is the wave number

$T = 0.20 s$ is the period, so the angular frequency is

$\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}=\frac{2\pi}{0.20}=31.4 rad/s$

So, the wave equation (in meters) is

$z = 0.003 sin (6000y-31.4 t)$

(b) 0.094 m/s

For a transverse wave, the transverse speed is equal to the derivative of the displacement of the wave, so in this case:

$v_t = z' = -A \omega cos (ky-\omega t)$

So the maximum transverse wave occurs when the cosine term is equal to 1, therefore the maximum transverse speed must be

$v_{t}_{max} =\omega A$

where

$\omega = 31.4 rad/s\\A = 0.003 m$

Substituting,

$v_{t}_{max}=(31.4)(0.003)=0.094 m/s$

(c) 5.24 mm/s

The wave speed is given by

$v=f \lambda$

where

f is the frequency of the wave

$\lambda$ is the wavelength

The frequency can be found from the angular frequency:

$f=\frac{\omega}{2\pi}=\frac{31.4}{2\pi}=5 Hz$

While the wavelength can be found from the wave number:

$\lambda = \frac{2\pi}{k}=\frac{2\pi}{6000}=1.05\cdot 10^{-3} m$

Therefore, the wave speed is

$v=(5)(1.05\cdot 10^{-3} )=5.24 \cdot 10^{-3} m/s = 5.24 mm/s$

How much energy is used when a 110kw appliance is used for 3 hours

Bogdan [553]

We could take the easy way out and just say

(110 kW) x (3 hours) = 330 kilowatt hours .

But that's cheap, and hardly worth even 5 points.
If we want to talk energy, let's use the actual scientific unit of energy.
________________________________________________

" 110 kw " means 110,000 watts = 110,000 joules/second .

(3 hours) x (3600 sec/hour) = 10,800 seconds.

(110,000 joules/second) x (10,800 seconds) = 1.188 x 10⁹ Joules

That's

==> 1,188,000,000 joules

==> 1,188,000 kilojoules

==> 1,188 megajoules

==> 1.188 gigajoules

Atsa nawfulotta energy !
It goes back to that "110 kw appliance" that we started with.
That's no common ordinary household appliance. 110 kw is something like
147 horsepower. In order to bring 110 kw into your house, you'd need to
take 458 Amperes through the 240-volt line from the pole. Most houses
are limited to 100 or 200 Amperes, tops. And the TRANSFORMER on
the pole, that supplies the whole neighborhood, is probably a 50 kw unit.
