Find the total equivalent resistance for the circuit.

1 answer:

Pavel [41]2 years ago

5 0

The equivalent resistance of a 4-Ω and 12-Ω resistor placed in parallel can be determined using the usual formula for equivalent resistance of parallel branches: 1 / Req = 1 / R1 + 1 / R2 + 1 / R3 ... Now the Ohm's law equation (ΔV = I • R) can be used to determine the total current in the circuit.

An electric furnace is to melt 40 kg of aluminium/hour. The initial temperature of aluminium is 32°C. Given that aluminium has s

Answer:

Part a)

P = 13.93 kW

Part b)

R = 8357.6 Cents

Explanation:

Part A)

heat required to melt the aluminium is given by

$Q = ms\Delta T + mL$

here we have

$Q = 40(950)(680 - 32) + 40(450 \times 10^3)$

$Q = 24624 kJ + 18000 kJ$

$Q = 42624 kJ$

Since this is the amount of aluminium per hour

so power required to melt is given by

$P = \frac{Q}{t}$

$P = \frac{42624}{3600} kW$

$P = 11.84 kW$

Since the efficiency is 85% so actual power required will be

$P = \frac{11.84}{0.85} = 13.93 kW$

Part B)

Total energy consumed by the furnace for 30 hours

$Energy = power \times time$

$Energy = 13.93 kW\times 30 h$

$Energy = 417.9 kWh$

now the total cost of energy consumption is given as

$R = P \times 20 \frac{Cents}{kWh}$

$R = 417.9 kWh\times 20 \frac{cents}{kWh}$

$R = 8357.6 Cents$

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

$0.741\ \text{m/s}^2$

Explanation:

v = Velocidad final = $40\ \text{km/h}=\dfrac{40}{3.6}\ \text{m/s}$

u = Velocidad inicial = 0

t = Tiempo empleado = 15 s

a = Aceleración

De las ecuaciones cinemáticas tenemos

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{\dfrac{40}{3.6}-0}{15}\\\Rightarrow a=0.741\ \text{m/s}^2$

La aceleración del camión en el primer intervalo de tiempo es $0.741\ \text{m/s}^2$ .
