In diving to a depth of 308 m, an elephant seal also moves 579 m due east of his starting point. What is the magnitude of the se
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

655.82m

Explanation:

By tracing the distances traveled from 308m down in the water and then 579m to the east, a <u>right triangle </u>can be formed and the displacement can be found by the Pythagorean theorem. This is shown in the attached image (the red line is the displacement).

One leg of the triangle will be the 308m

and the second leg of the triangle will be the 579m.

If we call the displacement x, by the pythagorean theorem:

x=\sqrt{308^2+579^2}

x=\sqrt{94,864+335,241}

x=\sqrt430,105}

x=655.82m

The displacement is 655.82m

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
Pie

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

Two people, one of mass 85 kg and the other of mass 50 kg, sit in a rowboat of mass 90 kg. With the boat initially at rest, the
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

0.11m

Explanation:

let's assume the boat is of uniform construction

Ignoring friction losses

Also assume the origin is at the end of the boat originally with the heavier person

the center of mass of the whole system will not change relative to the water when the two swap ends

Originally, the center of mass is

85[0] + 90[3.5/2] + 50[3.5] / (85 + 90 + 50) = 1.14m from the origin

after the swap, the center of mass is

50[0] + 90[3.5/2] + 85[3.5] / (85 + 90+ 50) = 1.030m from the origin

The center of mass has shifted

1.14-1.030 = 0.11m

as no external force acted on the system, the center of mass relative to the water will not change. The boat will therefore shift towards the end where the heavier person originally sat
