An electric pump rated 1.5 KW lifts 200kg of water through a vertical height of 6m in 10 secs: way is the efficiency of the pump
1 answer:
Answer:
80%
Explanation:
Efficiency = Power output / Power input × 100 %
To calculate efficiency we need to find power output of electric pump.
We can use,
Work done = Energy change
Work done per second = Energy change per second
Work done per second = Power
Therefore, Power = Energy change per second
= Change in potential energy of water per second
=mgh / t
= 200× 10×6 / 10
= 1200 W = 1.2 kW
Now use the first equation to find efficiency,
Efficiency = × 100%
= 80 %

consider east-west direction along X-axis and north-south direction along Y-axis
= velocity of migrating robin relative to air = 12 j m/s
(where "j" is unit vector in Y-direction)
= velocity of air relative to ground = 6.3 i m/s
(where "i" is unit vector in X-direction)
= velocity of migrating robin relative to ground = ?
using the equation
=
+
= 12 j + 6.3 i
= 6.3 i + 12 j
magnitude : sqrt((6.3)² + (12)²) = 13.6 m/s
direction : tan⁻¹(12/6.3) = 62.3 deg north of east
