Answer:

They must be enclosed in explosion proof housing or general-purpose housing (as per NEC Regulations)

Explanation:

It is important to know what are Class I, Division 1 and 2 locations.

Class I: includes those industries or places where flammable gases exists and there are chances of explosions.

Division 1: Those places where hazard can happen under normal operating conditions

Division 2: Those places where hazard can happen under abnormal conditions.

The conventional relays, contactors and switches cause arcing when they operate and this is a completely normal phenomenon but with respect to these categories, it is very dangerous to operate such electrical devices without any precaution.

Therefore industries are required by the regulatory authorities to install  explosion proof housing to enclose conventional relays, contactors and switches to avoid any explosion or hazard. General-purpose housing can also be used given that it follows the regulations provided by the NEC or any other regulatory authority.

An 92-kg football player traveling 5.0m/s in stopped in 10s by a tackler. What is the original kinetic energy of the player? Exp
Artemon [7]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the football player, m = 92 kg

Velocity of player, v = 5 m/s

Time taken, t = 10 s

(1) We need to find the original kinetic energy of the player. It is given by :

k=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

k=\dfrac{1}{2}\times (92\ kg)\times (5\ m/s)^2

k = 1150  J

In two significant figure, k=1.2\times 10^3\ J

(2) We know that work done is equal to the change in kinetic energy. Work done per unit time is called power of the player. We need to find the average power required to stop him. So, his final velocity v = 0

i.e. P=\dfrac{W}{t}=\dfrac{\Delta K}{t}

P=\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{2}\times (92\ kg)\times (5\ m/s)^2}{10\ s}

P = 115 watts

In two significant figures, P=1.2\times 10^2\ Watts

Hence, this is the required solution.

Un engrane que gira con una velocidad de 20 rad/s, es acelerado durante 5 segundos hasta alcanzar una velocidad de 35 rad/s
larisa [96]

Answer:

a) La aceleración angular es: \alpha=2\: rad/s^{2}

b) El engranaje gira 125 radianes.

c) El engranaje hara aproximadamente 20 revoluciones.

Explanation:

a)

La aceleración angular se define como:

\alpha=\frac{\Delta \omega}{\Delta t}

Donde:

  • Δω es la diferencia de velocidad angular (en otras palabras ω(final)-ω(inicial))
  • Δt es el tiempo en el que occure el cambio de velocidad angular

\alpha=\frac{35-25}{5}

\alpha=2\: rad/s^{2}

b)

El desplazamiento angular puede ser calculado usando la siguiente ecuación:

\theta=\theta_{i}+\omega_{i}t+\frac{1}{2}\alpha t^{2}

Aqui el angulo inicial es 0, por lo tanto.

\theta=20(5)+\frac{1}{2}(2)(5)^{2}

\theta=125\: rad

El engranaje gira 125 radianes.

c)

Lo que debemos hacer aquí es convertir radianes a revoluciones.

Recordemos que 2π rad = 1 rev

Entonces:

\theta=125\: rad \times \frac{1\: rev}{2\pi\: rad}=19.89\: rev

Por lo tanto el engranaje hara aproximadamente 20 revoluciones.

Espero te haya sido de ayuda!
