Answer: a) 0.948 b) 117.5µf

Explanation:

Given the load, a total of 2.4kw and 0.8pf

V= 120V, 60 Hz

P= 2.4 kw, cos θ= 80

P= S sin θ - (p/cos θ) sin θ

= P tan θ(cos^-1 (0.8)

=2.4 tan(36.87)= 1.8KVAR

S= 2.4 + j1. 8KVA

1 load absorbs 1.5 kW at 0.707 pf lagging

P= 1.5 kW, cos θ= 0.707 and θ=45 degree

Q= Ptan θ= tan 45°

Q=P=1.5kw

S1= 1.5 +1.5j KVA

S1 + S2= S

2.4+j1.8= 1.5+1.5j + S2

S2= 0.9 + 0.3j KVA

S2= 0.949= 18.43 °

Pf= cos(18.43°) = 0.948

b.) pf to 0.9, a capacitor is needed.

Pf = 0.9

Cos θ= 0.9

θ= 25.84 °

(WC) V^2= P (tan θ1 - tan θ2)

C= 2400 ( tan (36. 87°) - tan (25.84°)) /2 πf × 120^2

f=60, π=22/7

C= 117.5µf

The electricity generated by wind turbines annually in kilowatt-hours per year is given in a file. The amount of electricity is
Anika [276]

Answer:

Steps:

1. Create a text file that contains blade diameter (in feet), wind velocity (in mph) and the approximate electricity generated for the year

2.  load the data file for example, in matlab, use ('fileame.txt') to load the file

3. create variables from each column of your data

  for example, in matlab,  

     x=t{1}

     y=t{2}

4. plot the wind velocity and electricity generated.

   plot(x, y)

5. Label the individual axis and name the graph title.

    title('Graph of wind velocity vs approximate electricity generated for the year')

     xlabel('wind velocity')

     ylabel('approximate electricity generated for the year')

Twenty-five wooden beams were ordered or a construction project. The sample mean and he sample standard deviation were measured
aksik [14]

Answer:

Correct option: B. 90%

Explanation:

The confidence interval is given by:

CI = [\bar{x} - z\sigma_{\bar{x}} , \bar{x}+z\sigma_{\bar{x}} ]

If \bar{x} is 190, we can find the value of z\sigma_{\bar{x}}:

\bar{x} - z\sigma_{\bar{x}}  = 188.29

190 - z\sigma_{\bar{x}}  = 188.29

z\sigma_{\bar{x}}  = 1.71

Now we need to find the value of \sigma_{\bar{x}}:

\sigma_{\bar{x}} = s / \sqrt{n}

\sigma_{\bar{x}} = 5/ \sqrt{25}

\sigma_{\bar{x}} = 1

So the value of z is 1.71.

Looking at the z-table, the z value that gives a z-score of 1.71 is 0.0436

This value will occur in both sides of the normal curve, so the confidence level is:

CI = 1 - 2*0.0436 = 0.9128 = 91.28\%

The nearest CI in the options is 90%, so the correct option is B.

One gram of Strontium-90 has an activity of 5.3 terabecquerels (TBq), what will be the activity of 1 microgram?
noname [10]

1 micro gram of Strontium-90 has an activity of

0.0000053 terabecquerels (TBq),

Explanation:

Given information denotes that .,one gram of Strontium-90 has an activity of 5.3 terabecquerels (TBq)

the activity of 1 micro gram is

1 gram = 1,000,000 micro gram has activities of 5.3 terabecquerels

therefore 1 micro gram has the activity of (5.3 ÷  1,000,000 = 0.0000053 )

= (5.3 ÷  1,000,000 = 0.0000053 )

Hence ., 1 micro gram of Strontium-90 has an activity of

0.0000053 terabecquerels (TBq),

Sindrei [870]

Answer:

The white lined paper

Explanation:

The teacher is most likely putting the while line paper in jeopardy because of the detail process involved in taking care of the paper prior to the submission of the home work.

The fact that a mistake must not be visible due to the instruction of every erasures being thorough and clean.  this can cause jeopardy to the paper.
