Answer:

The water is 1310.75 meters deep.

Explanation:

The question gives us the speed of sound and the time the sonar signal takes to travel to the bottom of the water and back.

To find out the distance, we should first divide the time in half, so we only consider the time taken for the sound to reach the bottom of the water body.

This means:

Time = 1.75 / 2 = 0.875 seconds

The distance traveled in this time is:

Distance = Speed * Time

Distance = 1498 * 0.875

Distance = 1310.75 meters    

Thus, the water is 1310.75 meters deep.

A car accelerates uniformly from rest to speed 6.6 m/s in 6.5 s .Find the distance the car travel during this time .​
kirill [66]

Answer:

<em>The distance the car traveled is 21.45 m</em>

Explanation:

<u>Motion With Constant Acceleration </u>

It occurs when an object changes its velocity at the same rate thus the acceleration is constant.

The relation between the initial and final speeds is:

v_f=v_o+at\qquad\qquad [1]

Where:

a   = acceleration

vo = initial speed

vf  = final speed

t    = time

The distance traveled by the object is given by:

\displaystyle x=v_o.t+\frac{a.t^2}{2}\qquad\qquad [2]

Solving [1] for a:

\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f-v_o}{t}

Substituting the given data vo=0, vf=6.6 m/s, t=6.5 s:

\displaystyle a=\frac{6.6-0}{6.5}

a = 1.015\ m/s^2

The distance is now calculated with [2]:

\displaystyle x=0*6.5+\frac{1.015*6.5^2}{2}

x = 21.45 m

The distance the car traveled is 21.45 m

What is the electrical consumption in KVA of a motor powered by a 3-phase, 60 Hz, 460 VAC supply that continuously draws 17 A
MrRa [10]

Answer:

15.34 kVA

Explanation:

A motor is a device that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. It takes in electrical energy at the input and produce torque (motion) at the output.

The power consumption for a three phase motor is the product of voltage and current and √3. The √3 is because it is a three phase supply.

Hence Power (P) =√3 × voltage (V) × current (I)

P = √3 × V × I

Given that voltage (V) = 460 V, current (I) = 17 A. Hence:

P = √3 × V × I = √3 × 460 × 17 = 13544.64 VA

But 1000 VA = 1 kVA. Hence:

P=13544.64\ VA*\frac{1\ kVA}{1000\ VA}=13.54\ kVA
