An inductor is connected to a 26.5 Hz power supply that produces a 41.2 V rms voltage. What minimum inductance is needed to keep
alexira [117]

Answer:

The minimum inductance needed is 2.78 H

Explanation:

Given;

frequency of the AC, f = 26.5 Hz

the root mean square voltage in the circuit, V_{rms} = 41.2 V

the maximum current in the circuit, I₀ = 126 mA

The root mean square current is given by;

I_{rms} = \frac{I_o}{\sqrt{2} } \\\\I_{rms}  = \frac{126*10^{-3}}{\sqrt{2} }\\\\I_{rms}  =0.0891 \ A

The inductive reactance is given by;

X_l = \frac{V_{rms}}{I_{rms}} \\\\X_l= \frac{41.2}{0.0891}\\\\X_l = 462.4 \ ohms

The minimum inductance needed is given by;

X_l = \omega L\\\\X_l = 2\pi  fL\\\\L = \frac{X_l}{2\pi f}\\\\L = \frac{462.4}{2\pi *26.5}\\\\L = 2.78 \ H

Therefore, the minimum inductance needed is 2.78 H

Light does not move infinitely fast but has a finite speed. We normally use ""c"" to indicate the speed of light in science. Wri
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

6.71 × 10^8 mi/hr

Explanation:

Light is usually defined as an electromagnetic wave that is comprised of a definite wavelength. It is of both types, visible and invisible. The light emitted from a source usually travels at a speed of about 3 × 10^8 meter/sec. This speed of light is commonly represented by the letter 'C'.

To write it in the metric system, it has to be converted into miles/hour.

We know that,

1 minute = 60 seconds

60 minutes = 1 hour

1 kilometer = 1000 meter

1 miles = 1.6 kilometer

Now,

= \frac{3 \times\ 10^8 meter \times\ 60 sec \times\ 60 min}{1 sec \times\ 1 min \times\ 1 hr}

= 1.08 × 10^12 m/ hr (meter/hour)

= \frac{1.08 \times\ 10^{12} meter \times\ 1 km \times\ 1 miles}{1 hr \times\ 1000 meter \times\ 1.6 km}

= 6.71 × 10^8 mi/hr (miles/hour)

Thus, the value for speed of light (C) in metric unit is 6.71 × 10^8 mi/hr.

Answer:

B. They each contain the same amount of matter.

Explanation:

Scientifically, mass is the amount of matter in an object.

A. Whether an object is big or small does not mean that it will be a certain mass. If you have two objects that are the same size, the denser object will have more mass, and the less dense object will have less mass.

C. The amount of space an object takes up is called the volume.

D. Different combinations and amounts of elements can give you the same mass. Rocks, books and cans of soda are made of different things.
