The mechanical power output of an electric motor is 2.20 hp. The motor is connected to a 120 V source and is 89.0% efficient in

converting power that it takes in by electrical transmission into mechanical power. Determine the following (a) current (in A) delivered to the motor (b) energy (in MJ) delivered to the motor by electrical transmission in 3.80 h of operation MJ (c) the cost to run the motor (in dollars) for 3.80 h, if the electric company charges $0.110/kWh

Answer:

a) i = 15.367\,A, b) E = 25.226\,MJ, c) C = 0.771\,USD

Explanation:

a) Let assume that electric motor is single-phase and operates in DC-mode, so that mechanical power output is:

\dot W = \eta \cdot i \cdot V

The current delivered to the motor is:

i = \frac{\dot W}{\eta \cdot V}

i = \frac{(2.20\,hp)\cdot \left(\frac{0.746\,kW}{1\,hp}  \right)\cdot \left(\frac{1000\,W}{1\,kW}  \right)}{(0.89)\cdot (120\,V)}

i = 15.367\,A

b) The power delivered to the motor is:

\dot W = i\cdot V

\dot W = (15.367\,A)\cdot (120\,V)

\dot W = 1844.04\,W

The energy delivered to the motor during 3.80 hours of operation is:

E = (1844.04\,W)\cdot (3.80\,h)\cdot \left(\frac{3600\,s}{1\,h}\right)\cdot \left(\frac{1\,MJ}{1000000\,J}\right)

E = 25.226\,MJ

c) The cost to run the motor is:

C = (0.110\,\frac{USD}{kWh} )\cdot (25.226\,MJ)\cdot \left(\frac{0.278\,kWh}{1\,MJ}\right)

C = 0.771\,USD

Explain the increase in pressure of a gas when its volume is decreased at constant<br> temperature.
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

For a gas held at constant temperature, we can apply Boyle's law, which states that the product between the gas pressure and its volume is constant:

PV=const.

where

P is the pressure

V is the volume

As we see from the equation, P and V are inversely proportional to each other: this means that when the volume is decreased, the pressure increases, and vice-versa. The reason for that is that when the volume is decreased, the gas is compressed, so the molecules of the gas come closer to each other, so they collide more frequently with the wall of the container, exerting therefore a greater pressure.

A transformer has 1000 turns in the primary coil and 100 turns in the secondary coil. If the primary coil is connected to a 120
Marianna [84]

Answer:

The voltage on the secondary is 12 V while the current is 0.5 A.

Explanation:

A transformer works by changing the level of the voltage and current on a circuit using a magnetic field and two coils. The ratio by wich they are changed is dependant on the ratio of turns between the primary and secondary of the transformer. In this case we have a ratio for the voltage of:

ratio = (turns on the secondary)/(turns on the primary)

ratio = 100/1000 = 0.1

So in this case the voltage delivered to the primary will be multiplied by 0.1. We can now calculate the voltage on the secondary:

Voltage secondary = Voltage primary* ratio = 120*0.1 = 12 V

The transformer maintains roughly the same power output on both sides, since the power output on a electric circuit is given by the product of the voltage by the current on that circuit, to maintain the same power when the voltage has been droped the current must be raised by the same ratio. So we have:

Current secondary = Current primary*(1/ratio) =0.05*(1/0.1) = 0.5 A
