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 0.0780 kg lemming runs off a
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

5.01 J

Explanation:

Info given:

mass (m) = 0.0780kg

height (h) = 5.36m

velocity (v) = 4.84 m/s

gravity (g) = 9.81m/s^2

1. First, solve for Kinetic energy (KE)

KE = 1/2mv^2

1/2(0.0780kg)(4.84m/s)^2 = 0.91 J

so KE = 0.91 J

2. Next, solve for Potential energy (PE)

PE = mgh

(0.0780kg)(9.81m/s^2)(5.36m) = 4.10 J

so PE = 4.10 J

3. Mechanical Energy , E = KE + PE

Plug in values for KE and PE

KE + PE = 0.91J + 4.10 J = 5.01 J

The engine of a locomotive exerts a constant force of 8.1*10^5 N to accelerate a train to 68 km/h. Determine the time (in min) t
Bumek [7]

Answer:443.1 s

Explanation:

Given

Engine of a locomotive exerts a force of 8.1\times 10^5 N

Mass of train=1.9\times 10^7

Final speed (v)=68 km/h \approx 18.88 m/s

F=ma

so acceleration(a) =\frac{F}{m}=\frac{8.1\times 10^5}{1.9\times 10^7}

a=0.042631 m/s^2

and acceleration is

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

0.042631=\frac{18.88-0}{t}

t=443.089 \approx 443.1 s
