Answer:

6787.5 V

Explanation:

From the question,

P = IV..................... Equation 1

Where P = Power, I = rms current, V = rms voltage.

make V the subject of the equation

V = P/I................. Equation 2

Given: P = 1500 W, I = 6.4/√2 = 4.525 A

Substitute these values into equation 2

V = 1500(4.525)

V = 6787.5 V

Hence the rms voltage = 6787.5 V

Sunlight reflects from a concave piece of broken glass, converging to a point 34 cm from the glass. what is the radius of curvat

wolverine [178]

The rays of light coming from the Sun are parallel to each other, so when they are reflected by the concave piece of glass (which acts as a concave mirror) they converge into the focus of the mirror, which is
$f=34 cm$
The radius of curvature of a concave mirror is twice its focal length, so in this case it is:
$r=2f = 2 \cdot 34 cm=78 cm$

A top fuel dragster with a mass of 500.0 kg starts from rest and completes a quarter mile (402 m) race in a time of 5.0 s. The d

blsea [12.9K]

The average power needed to produce this final speed is 1069.1 hp.

Mass of the dragster, m = 500.0 kg,

Displacement travelled by the dragster, s = 402 m,

Time taken in this travel, t = 5.0 s,

Final velocity of the dragster, v = 130 m/s.

Let the initial velocity of the dragster be u and acceleration be a.

Using kinematical equation, s = ut + (1/2)at^2.

402 = u*5 + (1/2)*a*5^2

10*u + 25*a = 804. ...........(1)

Using kinematical equation, v = u +at.

130 = u + 5*a

5*u + 25*a = 650. .............(2)

Solving (1)and (2), we get,

u = 30.8 m/s.

According to work-energy theorem,

Work done = change in kinetic energy

W = (1/2)*m*(v^2 - u^2)

W = (1/2)*500*(130^2 - 30.8^2)

W = 3987840. J

Therefore power rating of the dragster is given by,

P ⇒ W/t. = 3987840/5 = 797568 watt.

P ⇒ 797568/746 = 1069.1 hp.
