Calculate the peak voltage of a mains supply of 240Vrms.

1 answer:

5 0

Answer:

So 240V RMS is equivalent to 339 V peak, or 679 V peak to peak and can be written as 240 Vrms. (the formula is Vrms = Vmax / √2). The waveform is a sinusoid varying about a neutral, which can also be drawn as a vector with a single arrow pointing away from neutral.

What would happen if the Earth stopped rotating?

trapecia [35]

Answer:

the atmosphere would still be in motion with the Earth's original 1100 mile per hour rotation speed at the equator. ... This means rocks, topsoil, trees, buildings, your pet dog, and so on, would be swept away into the atmosphere.

Explanation:

to me, this means we would proabaly be sucked into outer space and could die if no astronaut gear is on

What is the pressure inside such a balloon (in atm) if it starts out at sea level with a temperature of 12.8°C and rises to an a

tatiyna

Answer:

The final pressure inside the balloon will be $P_2=0.0359\ atm$ .

Explanation:

Given initial temperature of the balloon is $T_1=12.8\°C$

And the final temperature of the balloon is $T_2=-47.7\°C$

Initially, the balloon is at atmospheric pressure $P_1=1\ atm$ and volume be $V_1$

And the final pressure in the balloon is $P_2$ and the volume be $V_2$

Also, it is given in the question that the final volume became twenty-two times the original volume.

We can write $V_2=22V_1$

Now, using ideal gas equation.

$\frac{P_2V_2}{P_1V_1}=\frac{nRT_2}{nRT_2}$

Where, $R$ is the gas constant. And $n$ is moles of substance inside the balloon.

In our problem the value of $n$ will be the same for both cases. Also, $R$ is the gas constant.

$\frac{P_2V_2}{P_1V_1}=\frac{T_2}{T_1}$

Also, we have $V_2=22V_1$ from the question.

$\frac{P_2\times 22V_1}{P_1V_1}=\frac{T_2}{T_1}\\\\\frac{P_2\times 22}{P_1}=\frac{T_2}{T_1}$

We need to convert the temperature from $\°C$ to Kelvin.

$T_1=12.8\°C\\T_1=12.8+273.15=285.95\\T_2=-47.7\°C\\T_2=-47.7+273.15=225.45$

Plug these values we get,

$\frac{P_2\times 22}{1}=\frac{225.45}{285.95}\\\\22\times P_2=0.789\\P_2=\frac{0.789}{22}\\P_2=0.0359\ atm.$

So, the final pressure inside the balloon will be $P_2=0.0359\ atm$ .

Can a vector be shorter than one of its components

Sauron [17]

It can never be shorter than a component - magnitude of avector is the square root of the sum of the components squared, and a square function never produces a negative number. However, it can be the same size as its component, if that component is the only one

Rocket can propel itself in a vacuum. True or false

makkiz [27]

Answer:

Yes.

Explanation:

Rocket can propel itself in vacuum because the thrust is provided as a reaction to the the gases coming out of rocket, which have nothing to do with vacuum.
