An industrial firm has two electrical loads connected in parallel across the power source. Power is supplied to the firm at 4000

V rms. One load is 30 kW of heating use, and the other load is a set of motors that together operate as a load at 0.6 lagging power factor and at 150 kVA. Determine the total current and the plant power factor.

Answer:

I = 27.65A < 40.59°

PowerFactor = 0.76

Explanation:

Current on the heating load is:

I1 = 30KW / 4KV = 7.5A < 0°

Current on the inductive load:

I2 = (150KVA*0.6) /4KV = 22.5A  with an angle of acos(0.6)=53.1°

The sum of both currents is:

It = I1 + I2 = 7.5<0° + 22.5<53.1° = 27.65<40.59°

Now, the power factor will be:

pf = cos (40.59°) = 0.76

Imagine two people , each seating on an office chair with wheels. One pushes against the other Describe what happen next Explain
zaharov [31]

Answer:

The two chairs and those sitting on them will move in nearly opposite directions at almost the same speed (assuming that the wheels can only move into two directions - front or back and assuming that the weight of both people are almost the same)

Explanation:

Newton's Third Law states that If an object X exerts a force on object Y, then object Y must exert a force of equal magnitude and opposite direction back on object X.

In other words, when force is applied from source A at B and in direction of B, B also simultaneously returns the force on B and in the direction of B.

This law applies when we jump off the ground when a rocket takes off from the earth into space, etc.

While standing, the body pushes on the earth with a force equal to its own weight. If the ground underneath the body does not meet that force in an equal and opposite direction,  both standing on the earth will fall into the earth, with the earth caving underneath it.

You can see why it is important to have a strong foundation for a building and why the depth and strength of the foundation will depend on how much weight is going on it.

Cheers!

A planar electromagnetic wave is propagating in the +x direction. At a certain point P and at a given instant, the electric fiel
jeka94

Answer:

B=2.74\times 10^{-10}\ T

Explanation:

It is given that,

A planar electromagnetic wave is propagating in the +x direction.The electric field at a certain point is, E = 0.082 V/m

We need to find the magnetic vector of the wave at the point P at that instant.

The relation between electric field and magnetic field is given by :

c=\dfrac{E}{B}

c is speed of light

B is magnetic field

B=\dfrac{E}{c}\\\\B=\dfrac{0.082}{3\times 10^8}\\\\B=2.74\times 10^{-10}\ T

So, the magnetic vector at point P at that instant is 2.74\times 10^{-10}\ T.

You are designing a ski jump ramp for the next Winter Olympics. You need to calculate the vertical height h from the starting ga
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

h = 40.37 m

Explanation:

We will apply the law of conservation of energy to the skier in this case, as follows:

Energy\ of\ skier\ at\ the\ gate = Energy\ of\ Skier\ at\ the\ end\\P.E + K.E_{i} = K.E_{f} - W_{friction}\\mgh + \frac{1}{2}mv_{i}^2 = \frac{1}{2}mv_{f}^2 - W_{friction}\\\\mgh = \frac{1}{2}m(v_{f}^2-v_{i}^2) - W_{friction}

where,

m = mass of skier = 77 kg

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

vf = final speed = 30 m/s

vi = initial speed = 2 m/s

W_friction = Work done by friction and air resistance = 4000 J

Therefore,

(77\ kg)(9.81\ m/s^2)h = \frac{1}{2}(77\ kg)[(30\ m/s)^2-(2\ m/s)^2] - 4000\ J\\\\h = \frac{34496\ J - 4000\ J}{755.37\ N}\\\\

<u>h = 40.37 m</u>

RIGHT ANSWER GETS BRAINLIEST+5 STARS.
insens350 [35]

Answer:

B) the decay rates of radioactive uranium and lead

Explanation:

The radioactive decay is modeled using an exponential function with an essential parameter, namely the decay rate. The two rates (for urianium and lead) allow her to determine the number of years that passed since the time the zirconium was formed.
