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 remote controlled toy car starts from rest and begins to accelerate in a straight line. The figure below represents "snapshots
Nikolay [14]

(a). The car's average velocity between t = 1.0s to t = 1.5s will be - 1\;m/s

(b). The car's acceleration at t = 1.5s will be - 0.4\;m/s^{2}

(c). Car's speed is increasing with time.

We have a a remote controlled toy car that starts from rest and begins to accelerate in a straight line.

We have to determine -

  • The car's average velocity (in m/s) in the interval between -

        t = 1.0 s  to  t = 1.5 s.

  • The car's acceleration at t = 1.5 s.
  • Determining whether car's speed increasing or decreasing with time.

<h3>What is Acceleration?</h3>

The rate of change of velocity with respect to time is called Acceleration. Mathematically -

$a=\frac{dv}{dt}

According to the question, we have the following data for the Car -

t = 0s → x = 0m

t = 0.5s → x = 0.1m

t = 1.0s → x = 0.4m

t = 1.5s → x = 0.9m

t = 2.0s → x = 1.6m

PART - A

The car's average velocity between t = 1.0s to t = 1.5s will be -

$v_{avg} = \frac{0.9-0.4}{1.5-1}= 1 m/s

PART - B

Velocity at t = 1.5 s will be -

$v(1.5)=\frac{0.9}{1.5}= 0.6\;m/s

The car's acceleration at t = 1.5s will be -

$a(1.5) = \frac{v}{t} = \frac{0.6}{1.5} = 0.4\;m/s^{2}

PART - C

Since, the acceleration of the car is positive, this means that the car is accelerating in the forward direction. Hence, its speed is increasing with time.

[ The following data was missing in your answer. The complete question would include this data also -

t = 0s → x = 0m

t = 0.5s → x = 0.1m

t = 1.0s → x = 0.4m

t = 1.5s → x = 0.9m

t = 2.0s → x = 1.6m ]

As the wavelength increases, the frequency (2 points) decreases and energy decreases. increases and energy increases. decreases
frozen [14]
Bohr's equation for the change in energy is
\Delta E= \frac{hc}{\lambda}
where
h = Planck's constant
c == the velocity of light
λ = wavelength.

The velocity is related to wavelength and frequency, f, by
c = fλ

Let us examine the given answers on the basis of the given equations.

a. As λ increases, f decreases and ΔE decreases.
     TRUE

b. As λ increases, f increases and ΔE increases.
    FALSE

c. As λ increases, f increases and ΔE decreases.
    FALSE

Answer: 
As the wavelength increases, the frequency decreases and energy decreases.
