Answer:

You need a 120V to 24V commercial transformer  (transformer 1:5), a 100 ohms resistance, a 1.5 K ohms resistance and a diode with a minimum forward current of 20 mA (could be 1N4148)

Step by step design:

  1. Because you have a 120V AC voltage supply you need an efficient way to reduce that voltage as much as possible before passing to the rectifier, for that I recommend a standard 120V to 24V transformer.  120 Vrms = 85 V and 24 Vrms = 17V = Vin
  2. Because 17V is not 15V you still need a voltage divider to step down that voltage, for that we use R1 = 100Ω and R2 = 1.3KΩ. You need to remember that more than 1 V is going to be in the diode, so for our calculation we need to consider it. Vf = (V*R2)/(R1+R2), V = Vin - 1 = 17-1 = 16V and Vf = 15, Choosing a fix resistance R1 = 100Ω and solving the equation we find R2 = 1.5KΩ
  3. Finally to select the diode you need to calculate two times the maximum current and that would be the forward current (If) of your diode. Imax = Vf/R2 = 10mA and If = 2*Imax = 20mA

Our circuit meet the average voltage (Va) specification:

Va = (15)/(pi) = 4.77V considering the diode voltage or 3.77V without considering it

What's a disadvantage of highest MERV-rated filters?
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

3) the pressure drop across high MERV filters is significant.

Explanation:

MERV (Minimum-Efficiency Reporting Value) is used to measure the efficiency of filter to remove particles. A filter of high MERV can filter smaller particles but this causes an increase in reduced air flow that is an increase in pressure drop. High MERV filters capture more particles causing them to get congested faster and thereby increasing pressure drop.

Excessive pressure drop can cause overheating and lead to damage of the filter. The pressure drop can be reduced by increasing the surface area of the filter.

A number 12 copper wire has a diameter of 2.053 mm. Calculate the resistance of a 37.0 m long piece of such wire.
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

R=1923Ω

Explanation:

Resistivity(R) of copper wire at 20 degrees Celsius is 1.72x10^-8Ωm.

Coil length(L) of the wire=37.0m

Cross-sectional area of the conductor or wire (A) = πr^2

A= π * (2.053/1000)/2=3.31*10^-6

To calculate for the resistance (R):

R=ρ*L/A

R=(1.72*10^8)*(37.0)/(3.31*10^-6)

R=1922.65Ω

Approximately, R=1923Ω

Two rods, with masses MA and MB having a coefficient of restitution, e, move along a common line on a surface, figure 2. a) Find
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

A.) Find the answer in the explanation

B.) Ua = 7.33 m/s , Vb = 7.73 m/s

C.) Impulse = 17.6 Ns

D.) 49%

Explanation:

Let Ua = initial velocity of the rod A

Ub = initial velocity of the rod B

Va = final velocity of the rod A

Vb = final velocity of the rod B

Ma = mass of rod A

Mb = mass of rod B

Given that

Ma = 2kg

Mb = 1kg

Ub = 3 m/s

Va = 0

e = restitution coefficient = 0.65

The general expression for the velocities of the two rods after impact will be achieved by considering the conservation of linear momentum.

soldier1979 [14.2K]

A vector is a phenomenon which in mostly used in mathematics and physics and is related to direction and size.

<u>Explanation:</u>

In mathematics and physics, a vector is a component of a vector space. For some, particular vector spaces, the vectors have gotten explicit names, which are recorded beneath. Verifiably, vectors were presented in geometry and material science before the formalization of the idea of vector space.  

A vector is an amount or phenomenon that has two autonomous properties: magnitude and direction. The term likewise means the numerical or geometrical portrayal of such an amount.
