Answer:

Explanation:

Motor rating is given in horsepower (hp), it will be converted in watt (W).

Standard to install circuit breaker for an electric circuit is usually 20% ~ 25% more than the Rated Current of the circuit

while

Standard to install overload relay for an electric circuit is usually 20% ~ 25% more than the Running Current of the circuit.

So, to find the maximum capacity of the circuit breaker, rated current of the motor will be multiplied by 1.2 ~ 1.25

Step by Step Explanation:

30hp = 22371W (as 1hp = 745.7)

Assuming unity power factor (cosФ=1) and 208V phase to phase voltage:

Rated Power (watt) = √3 . V.I. cosФ

<em>{if 208V is phase to neutral voltage, then use following formula:</em>

<em> Rated Power (watt) = 3 . V.I. cosФ}</em>

\frac{22371}{\sqrt{3} * 208 * 1} = I

Rated Current = <u>62.169A</u>

So, required maximum rating for circuit breaker is:

20% to 25% of the rated current = 62.17*1.2 ~ 62.17*1.25

=74.6A ~ 77.7A

Hence, any breaker between the above mentioned rating will be appropriate.

Light waves do not need a medium to travel through. true or false.
melamori03 [73]

Light travels in electromagnetic waves in the form of photons. What do photons travel in? Can a frequency have weight? Carry weight? According to Einstien a photon with energy proportional to its frequency basically explains ultraviolet light(among other things), so does that mean light travels within a "larger" version of itself?

We know that light doesn't need a medium through which to travel because the speed of light is experimentally constant: independent of the movement of the source or detector or the direction in which it travels.

Light contrasts with sound, which travels through the air (or some other material medium). If you're stationary with respect to the air, then the speed of sound is the same in all directions. But if you're moving with respect to the air, the speed of sound will be the same in all directions relative to the air---which means that sound coming up in front of you will seem faster and sound catching up to you from behind will seem slower.

If light were a disturbance in a medium, it would exhibit the same behaviour. But light never does---its speed is the same under all circumstances. So it does you no good to postulate an aether. You can still do it, but it makes the theory more complicated than necessary. The only reason to postulate an aether is that you're uncomfortable with the idea of waves not needing a medium. But our modern understanding of quantum mechanics is that all kinds of particles have a wavelike nature, so, if you accept that matter can travel through empty space, you should have no problem accepting the same for light.

so it's true

<em>In order from largest to smallest these terms are:UniverseGalaxySolar systemStarPlanetMoonAsteroidWe can generally say that a Moon is larger than an asteroid however some moons are quite large while others are smaller than many known asteroids. Asteroids are small rocky bodies that orbit the Sun, while moons are objects that orbit planets. Jupiter and Saturn have attracted many objects out of the asteroid belt and gathered them as moons.</em>

The force on a bullet that results from summing all of the forces on that bullet is known as the _____ on the bullet.
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

The force on a bullet that results from summing all of the forces on that bullet is known as the net force on the bullet.

Explanation:

Net force represents the overall force or the total force acting on an object.

Here, the object is bullet and the net force acting on it is the addition of all the forces acting on the bullet.

Longer wavelengths will have ________ frequencies, and shorter wavelengths will have ________ frequencies.
MakcuM [25]
Within a single medium, the product of (wavelength) x (frequency)
is always the same number, for all waves.  (It's the wave-speed.)

This means that longer wavelengths must have lower frequencies,
and shorter wavelengths must have higher frequencies, in order for
the product to always come out to be the same.
