Manufacturing Plant Power A manufacturing plant uses 2.36 kW of electric power provided by a 50.0 Hz ac generator with an rms vo

ltage of 500 V . The plant uses this power to run a number of high-inductance electric motors. The plant's total resistance is R = 22.0 Ω and its inductive reactance is XL = 43.0 Ω .a) What is the totalimpedence of the plant? b) What is the plant's power factor? c) What is the rms current used by the plant? d) What capacitance,connected in series with the power line, will increase the plant'spower factor to unity?e) If the power factor is unity, how muchcurrent is needed to provide the 2.22 kW of power by the plant?

Answer:

(a) Z = 48.3 Ω

(b) cos ∅ = 0.455

(c) Irms = 10.35 A

(d) C = 74.02 μF

(e) Irms = 4.44 A

Explanation:

Power (P) = 2.36 kW

Frequency (f) = 50 Hz

RMS Voltage (Vrms) = 500 V

Resistance (R) = 22 Ω

Inductive Reactance (XL) = 43 Ω

(a) to calculate the total impedance, use the formula:

Z = √(R² + XL²)

   = √((22)² + (43)²)

   = √2333

Z = 48.3 Ω

(b) To calculate the plant's power factor, we will use the formula:

cos ∅ = R/Z

          = 22/48.3

cos ∅ = 0.455

(c) To calculate the RMS current used by the plant, divide the RMS voltage value by the impedance of the plant.

Irms = Vrms/Z

        = 500/48.3

Irms = 10.35 A

(d) For the power factor to become unity, the inductive reactance must be equal to the capacitive reactance i.e. Xc = XL

Xc = XL

1/(2πfC) = XL

1/(2πfXL) = C

C = 1/(2π*50*43)

   = 7.402 x 10⁻⁵

C = 74.02 μF

(e) P = Vrms*Irms*cos∅

    Irms = P/Vrms*cos∅

             = 2.22 x 10³/500*1

    Irms = 4.44 A

A kangaroo jumps straight up to a vertical height of 1.45 m. How long was it in the air before returning to Earth?
dexar [7]

Answer:

1.08 s

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Height (h) reached = 1.45 m

Time of flight (T) =?

Next, we shall determine the time taken for the kangaroo to return from the height of 1.45 m. This can be obtained as follow:

Height (h) = 1.45 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Time (t) =?

h = ½gt²

1.45 = ½ × 9.8 × t²

1.45 = 4.9 × t²

Divide both side by 4.9

t² = 1.45/4.9

Take the square root of both side

t = √(1.45/4.9)

t = 0.54 s

Note: the time taken to fall from the height(1.45m) is the same as the time taken for the kangaroo to get to the height(1.45 m).

Finally, we shall determine the total time spent by the kangaroo before returning to the earth. This can be obtained as follow:

Time (t) taken to reach the height = 0.54 s

Time of flight (T) =?

T = 2t

T = 2 × 0.54

T = 1.08 s

Therefore, it will take the kangaroo 1.08 s to return to the earth.

Which of the following types of radiation can penetrate through paper but not through wood?
andrew-mc [135]
The type of radiation that can penetrate through paper, but not through wood is called beta rays. Beta rays can penetrate paper and air, but a thin piece of alimony can stop it. Gamma can cut through anything except lead and many inches of concrete. Alpha can be stopped by paper and not penetrated. The correct answer is B.

Georgia [21]
The source of information was biased. It was like walking along a river bank in the country and asking everybody you meet whether they like fishing. Or asking 500 people sitting in the bleachers whether they like baseball.
I'm sure the scientist would have gotten different data if she interviewed 500 teenagers at neighborhood basketball courts, or 500 teenagers at a rock concert.
