Answer:

15.34 kVA

Explanation:

A motor is a device that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. It takes in electrical energy at the input and produce torque (motion) at the output.

The power consumption for a three phase motor is the product of voltage and current and √3. The √3 is because it is a three phase supply.

Hence Power (P) =√3 × voltage (V) × current (I)

P = √3 × V × I

Given that voltage (V) = 460 V, current (I) = 17 A. Hence:

P = √3 × V × I = √3 × 460 × 17 = 13544.64 VA

But 1000 VA = 1 kVA. Hence:

$P=13544.64\ VA*\frac{1\ kVA}{1000\ VA}=13.54\ kVA$

A particle has 37.5 J of kinetic energy and 12.5 J of gravitational potential energy at one point during its fall from a tree to

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer: 50J

Explanation:

Mechanical energy follows the same principles of kinetic energy and potential energy, it is conserved. So Ei = Ef.

Mechanical energy is the sum of ALL energy's. There is no friction, so its just kinetic plus potential.

37.5 + 12.5 = 50J

Since the particle has not touched the ground, it has not transferred any energy to the ground yet, therefore the mechanical energy must still be 50J; mostly in kinetic energy with a very small amount of potential because of the low height relative to the ground.

Which effect is created when two sound waves that are close in pitch

Temka [501]

Answer:

C. Beats

Explanation:

When waves are interfering with each other, the sound is louder in some places and softer in others. As a result, we hear pulses or beats in the sound.

What type of heat do we get from sun

seraphim [82]

The type of heat that the Sun emits is called UV (Ultra Violet) rays. This is a natural type of heat, but it can also be dangerous if you expose yourself to too much UV heat, causing "sunburns", or even skin cancer.
