40 miles at 20 mph takes 2 hours
180 miles at 60 mph takes 3 hours

<span>Average speed = Total distance / Total time </span>
<span>= (40 + 180) / (2 + 3) </span>
= 220 / 5
= 44

<span>The correct answer is 44 m/s</span>

What inductance l would be needed to store energy e=3.0kwh (kilowatt-hours) in a coil carrying current i=300a?
myrzilka [38]

The formula for the energy stored in the magnetic field of an inductor is:

                      E  =  (1/2) (inductance) (current)²  .

In the present situation:

Energy = (3 kilo-watt-hour) x (1,000 / kilo) x (joule/watt-sec) x (3,600 sec/hr)

           =  (3 · 1000 · 3,600)  (kilo·watt·hr·joule·sec / kilo·watt·sec·hr)

           =      1.08 x 10⁷ joules .

Now to find the inductance:  

                   E  =  (1/2) (inductance) (current)² 

       (1.08 x 10⁷ joules) = (1/2) (inductance) (300 Amp)²

           (2.16 x10⁷ joules) =  (inductance) (300 Amp)²

             Inductance =  (2.16 x10⁷ joules) / (300 Amp)²

                              =   2.16 x10⁷ / 90,000        Henrys

                           I get        240 Henrys .

This is a big inductance.  Possibly the size of your house.
To get a big inductance, you want to wind the coil
  with a huge number of turns of very fine wire, in
  a small space.
In this case, however, if you plan on running 300A through
  your coil, it'll have to be wound with a very thick conductor ...
  like maybe 1/4-inch solid copper wire, or even copper tubing,
You have competing requirements.
There are cheaper, easier, better ways to store 3 kWh of energy.
In fact, a quick back-of-the-napkin calculation says that
  3 or 4 car batteries will do the job nicely.

What are constellations?
tatiyna

Answer:

Option 4

Explanation:

A constellation can be defined as that region formed by the stars in such a way that the formation by the group of stars in that area appear to seem an imaginary pattern of some mythological creature, animal, god or some inanimate object formed apparently.

Thus in accordance with the above definition a constellation is a group of stars that forms some apparent pattern in the celestial sphere.
