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

Even though humans share 100% of the same genes, the instructions contained within the genes are not entirely identical. Each person is unique. People have different hair colors, facial structures, and other traits. These differences between individuals result from very small differences in their DNA sequences. DNA also contains many so-called "housekeeping genes" that control important metabolic processes. As you will see, some of the differences in these genes can cause illness.

Although the DNA of any two people on Earth is, in fact, 99.9% identical, even a tiny difference can have a big effect if this difference is located in a critical gene.

Question 24 1 pts Find the voltage in an extension cord having a 0.0600 22 resistance and through which a 5.00A current is flowi
Neporo4naja [7]

The voltage in the extension cord is 30 V.

The problem above can be solved using ohm's law

⇒ Formula:

V = IR.................. Equation 1

⇒ Where:

  • V = Voltage in the extension cord
  • I = Current flowing through the extension cord
  • R = Resistance of the extension cord.

From the question, I think there was a slight error in the value of the current given it suppose to be 500 A, and not 5.00 A

⇒ Given:

  • I = 500 A
  • R = 0.06 ohms

⇒ Substitute these values into equation 1

  • V = 500(0.06)
  • V = 30 V

Hence the voltage in the extension cord is 30 V

Why do nuclear power plants use fission rather than fusion to generate
kicyunya [14]

B. Fusion requires very high pressure and temperature.

Explanation:

Nuclear fusion is the combination of atomic nuclei into larger ones with the release of a large amount of energy.

Nuclear fission is the decay process in which a heavy nuclide is bombarded with with neutrons.

  • Both processes release a huge amount of energy.
  • But fusion produces far more energy.
  • The reason why nuclear fusion is not in use is because of the high pressure and temperature needed start it.
  • The activation energy is high and the energy barrier is very great.
  • Only the core of the sun naturally favors fusion

When talking about the speeds of atoms in a gas you must refer to the average speed because
cluponka [151]

Answer:

An Atom's individual speed will change as it collides with other atoms, so we have to use an average.

Explanation:

In a gas a single atoms does an assortment of things during its time in the gas—sometimes it collides with an other atom gaining a lot of speed, sometimes losing a lot of speed in the collision, and sometimes just moving freely. Therefore: the motion of one individual atom is unpredictable, and it cannot be  representative of all the the atoms in a gas, which is why we must average over all speeds of all atoms to find an average speed that allows us to calculate other quantities like temperature and pressure of the gas.

Hence, the second option <em>"an Atom's individual speed will change as it collides with other atoms, so we have to use an average" </em>stands correct.
