Answer:

a. 120 W

b. 28.8 N

Explanation:

To a good approximate, the only external force that does work on a cyclist moving on level ground is the force of air resistance. Suppose a cyclist is traveling at 15 km/h on level ground. Assume he is using 480 W of metabolic power.

a. Estimate the amount of power he uses for forward motion.

b. How much force must he exert to overcome the force of air resistance?

(a) He is 25% efficient, therefore the cyclist will be expending 25% of his power to drive the bicycle forward

Power = efficiency X metabolic power

= 0.25 X 480

= 120 W

(b)

power if force times the velocity

P = Fv

convert  15 km/h to m/s

v = 15 kmph = 4.166 m/s

F = P/v

= 120/4.166

= 28.8 N

definition of terms

power is the rate at which work is done

force is that which changes a body's state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line

velocity is the change in displacement per unit time.

Find the equivalent resistance of this parallel circuit with two strands.
svlad2 [7]
In a parallel circuit, the total resistance calculated from the individual resistances is computed from the formula: 1/Rt = 1/R1 + 1/R2. substituting R1 and R2, then 
1/Rt = 1/7 + 1/49 
1/Rt = 1/6.125 = 1/ 49/8
Rt = 49/8 <span>Ω

The total resistance hence is </span>49/8 Ω

a tank circuit contains a capacitor and an inductor that produce 30 of reactance at the resonant frequency. the inductor has a q
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

The total circuit current at the resonant frequency is 0.61 amps

What is a LC Circuit?

  • A capacitor and an inductor, denoted by the letters "C" and "L," respectively, make up an LC circuit, also referred to as a tank circuit, a tuned circuit, or a resonant circuit.
  • These circuits are used to create signals at particular frequencies or to receive signals from more complicated signals at particular frequencies.

Q =15 = (wL)/R

wL = 30 ohms = Xl

R = 2 ohms

Zs = R + jXl = 2 +j30 ohms where Zs is the series LR impedance

| Zs | = 30.07 <86.2° ohms

Xc = 1/(wC) = 30 ohms

The impedance of the LC circuit is found from:

Zp = (Zs)(-jXc)/( Zs -jXc)

Zp = (2+j30)(-j30)/(2 + j30-j30) = (900 -j60)2 = 450 -j30 = 451 < -3.81°

I capacitor = 277/-j30 = j9.23 amps

I Zs = 277/(2 +j30) = (554 - j8,310)/904 = 0.61 - j9.19 amps

I net = I cap + I Zs = 0.61 + j0.04 amps = 0.61 < 3.75° amps

Hence, the total circuit current at the resonant frequency is 0.61 amps

Answer:

Explanation:

The path length difference = extra distance traveled

The destructive interference condition is:

\Delta d = (m+1/2)\lambda

where m =0,1, 2,3........

So, ←

\Delta d = (m+1/2)\lamb da9/tex]so [tex]\Delta d = \frac{\lambda}{2}

⇒ λ = 2Δd = 2×10 = 20
