Answer:

Explanation:

Average velocity is found in the total displacement experienced in the trip divided by the total time it took to make this trip. If, for the first 2.0 hours, the car travels at 60 km/hr, then in 2.0 hours the car can travel 120 km; if it then travels for 3.0 at 85 km/hr, it can travel 255 km in the same direction. The total time this took was 5.0 hours. So doing the math and rounding correctly by following the rules for the adding and subtracting of sig fig's:

$v=\frac{120+255}{5.0}=\frac{380}{5.0}=76\frac{km}{hr}$

If you do not round when you add, the average velocity is 75 km/hr

Maximum voltage produced in an AC generator completing 60 cycles in 30 sec is 250V. (a) What is period of armature? (b) How many

Vlada [557]

Answer:

a. 2 Hz b. 0.5 cycles c . 0 V

Explanation:

a. What is period of armature?

Since it takes the armature 30 seconds to complete 60 cycles, and frequency f = number of cycles/ time = 60 cycles/ 30 s = 2 cycles/ s = 2 Hz

b. How many cycles are completed in T/2 sec?

The period, T = 1/f = 1/2 Hz = 0.5 s.

So, it takes 0.5 s to complete 1 cycles. At t = T/2 = 0.5/2 = 0.25 s,

Since it takes 0.5 s to complete 1 cycle, then the number of cycles it completes in 0.25 s is 0.25/0.5 = 0.5 cycles.

c. What is the maximum emf produced when the armature completes 180° rotation?

Since the emf E = E₀sinθ and when θ = 180°, sinθ = sin180° = 0

E = E₀ × 0 = 0

E = 0

So, at 180° rotation, the maximum emf produced is 0 V.

An astronaut on Earth notes that in her soft drink an ice cube floats with 9/10 of its volume submerged. If she were instead in

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

B) with 9/10 submerged

Explanation:

$m$ = mass of ice cube

$\rho$ = density of soft drink

$V$ = Volume of soft drink displaced

ice cube floats in the soft drink when the force of buoyancy on it balances its weight. Force of buoyancy acting on the cube in upward direction is same as the weight of the soft drink displaced. hence we can write

weight of ice cube = weight of soft drink displaced

$mg = \rho V g$

$m = \rho V$

we see that the acceleration due to gravity cancel out both side and hence it does affect as astronaut is on earth on in a lunar module.

) Suppose a particle travels along a straight line with velocity v(t) = t 2 e −3t meters per second after t seconds. How far doe

pshichka [43]

Answer:

x(t=3s) = 0.07 m to the nearest hundredth

Explanation:

v(t) = t² e⁻³ᵗ

Find displacement after t = 3 s.

Recall, velocity, v = (dx/dt)

v = (dx/dt) = t² e⁻³ᵗ

dx = t² e⁻³ᵗ dt

∫ dx = ∫ t² e⁻³ᵗ dt

This integration will be done using the integration by parts method.

Integration by parts is done this way...

∫ u dv = uv - ∫ v du

Comparing ∫ t² e⁻³ᵗ dt to ∫ u dv

u = t²

∫ dv = ∫ e⁻³ᵗ dt

u = t²

(du/dt) = 2t

du = 2t dt

∫ dv = ∫ e⁻³ᵗ dt

v = (-e⁻³ᵗ/3)

∫ u dv = uv - ∫ v du

Substituting the variables for u, v, du and dv

∫ t² e⁻³ᵗ dt = (-t²e⁻³ᵗ/3) - ∫ (-e⁻³ᵗ/3) 2t dt

= (-t²e⁻³ᵗ/3) - ∫ 2t (-e⁻³ᵗ/3) dt

But the integral (∫ 2t (-e⁻³ᵗ/3) dt) is another integration by parts problem.

∫ u dv = uv - ∫ v du

u = 2t

∫ dv = ∫ (-e⁻³ᵗ/3) dt

u = 2t

(du/dt) = 2

du = 2 dt

∫ dv = ∫ (-e⁻³ᵗ/3) dt

v = (e⁻³ᵗ/9)

∫ u dv = uv - ∫ v du

Substituting the variables for u, v, du and dv

∫ 2t (-e⁻³ᵗ/3) dt = 2t (e⁻³ᵗ/9) - ∫ 2 (e⁻³ᵗ/9) dt = 2t (e⁻³ᵗ/9) + (2e⁻³ᵗ/27)

Putting this back into the main integration by parts equation

∫ t² e⁻³ᵗ dt = (-t²e⁻³ᵗ/3) - ∫ 2t (-e⁻³ᵗ/3) dt = (-t²e⁻³ᵗ/3) - [2t (e⁻³ᵗ/9) + (2e⁻³ᵗ/27)]

x(t) = ∫ t² e⁻³ᵗ dt = (-t²e⁻³ᵗ/3) - 2t (e⁻³ᵗ/9) - (2e⁻³ᵗ/27) + k (k = constant of integration)

x(t) = (-t²e⁻³ᵗ/3) - 2t (e⁻³ᵗ/9) - (2e⁻³ᵗ/27) + k

At t = 0 s, v(0) = 0, hence, x(0) = 0

0 = 0 - 0 - (2/27) + k

k = (2/27)

x(t) = (-t²e⁻³ᵗ/3) - 2t (e⁻³ᵗ/9) - (2e⁻³ᵗ/27) + (2/27)

At t = 3 s

x(3) = (-9e⁻⁹/3) - (6e⁻⁹/9) - (2e⁻⁹/27) + (2/27)

x(3) = -0.0003702294 - 0.0000822732 - 0.0000091415 + 0.0740740741 = 0.07361243 m = 0.07 m to the nearest hundredth.

An inverse-time circuit breaker (CB) is used for branch-circuit short-circuit and ground-fault protection for a 30-horsepower, 2

Maru [420]

Answer:

Explanation:

Motor rating is given in horsepower (hp), it will be converted in watt (W).

Standard to install circuit breaker for an electric circuit is usually 20% ~ 25% more than the Rated Current of the circuit

while

Standard to install overload relay for an electric circuit is usually 20% ~ 25% more than the Running Current of the circuit.

So, to find the maximum capacity of the circuit breaker, rated current of the motor will be multiplied by 1.2 ~ 1.25

Step by Step Explanation:

30hp = 22371W (as 1hp = 745.7)

Assuming unity power factor (cosФ=1) and 208V phase to phase voltage:

Rated Power (watt) = √3 . V.I. cosФ

{if 208V is phase to neutral voltage, then use following formula:

Rated Power (watt) = 3 . V.I. cosФ}

$\frac{22371}{\sqrt{3} * 208 * 1} = I$

Rated Current = 62.169A

So, required maximum rating for circuit breaker is:

20% to 25% of the rated current = 62.17*1.2 ~ 62.17*1.25

=74.6A ~ 77.7A

Hence, any breaker between the above mentioned rating will be appropriate.
