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

A ball is thrown vertically downwards with a speed 7.3 m/s from the top of a 51 m tall building. With what speed will it hit the
ddd [48]

Answer:

32.46m/s

Explanation:

Hello,

To solve this exercise we must be clear that the ball moves with constant acceleration with the value of gravity = 9.81m / S ^ 2

A body that moves with constant acceleration means that it moves in "a uniformly accelerated motion", which means that if the velocity is plotted with respect to time we will find a line and its slope will be the value of the acceleration, it determines how much it changes the speed with respect to time.

When performing a mathematical demonstration, it is found that the equations that define this movement are the follow

\frac {Vf^{2}-Vo^2}{2.a} =X

Where

Vf = final speed

Vo = Initial speed =7.3m/S

A = g=acceleration =9.81m/s^2

X = displacement =51m}

solving for Vf

Vf=\sqrt{Vo^2+2gX}\\Vf=\sqrt{7.3^2+2(9.81)(51)}=32.46m/s

the speed with the ball hits the ground is 32.46m/s

The velocity as a function of time of a moving particle is given by v = α+ βt2 , where α and β are constants and t is time in s.
marin [14]

The acceleration of the particle at 3s is [tex]a = 6 \beta [/tex]

v  =  \alpha  +  \beta {t}^{2}

<h3>How to calculate acceleration </h3>

a =  \frac{dv}{dt} \\ v =  \alpha  +  \beta  {t}^{2} \\ \frac{dv}{dt}  = 0 + 2 \beta t \\

if Time is given as 3s

therefore, Acceleration is

a = 2 \beta t \\ a = 2 \beta 3 \\ a = 2 \times  \beta  \times 3 \\ a = 6 \beta

Acceleration is

a = 6 \beta
