Answer:
160 W
Explanation:
The relation is ...
Real Power = (pf)(V)(A)
= 0.8(100)(2) = 160 . . . . watts
Explain what a margin of safety is in driving as well as how it can help minimize risk.
Answer:
A safety margin is the space left between your vehicle and the next to provide room, time and visibility at every instant
Explanation:
A safety margin is defined as an allowance given between your vehicle and the next vehicle in front to provide enough room, visibility and time to move in a safe manner to prevent the occurrence of an accident at anytime the frontal vehicle suddenly stops or slows down
Safety margins help minimize risks in the following way
1) A common knowledge of safety margins, improves predictability among road users, thereby minimizing the risk traffic accidents caused due to late communication
2) The use of safety margins helps minimize the risk due to a change in driving conditions such as when the road becomes more slippery from being covered with fluid that is being wetted
3) Safety margin can help prevent the occurrence of an accident between vehicles due to failure of a car system, such as a punctured tire or failed breaking system
4) Safety margin helps to protect road users from the introduction of obstacles on the main roads such as ongoing road construction, broken down vehicles, road blockage by vehicles involved in an accident etc
5) Safety margin help protect road users from being involved in an accident due to the loss of driving focus of the driver of the frontal vehicle
A piston-cylinder device contains 0.1 kg of hydrogen gas (PG model: cv=10.18, k = 1.4, R= 4.12 kJ/kg-K) at 1000 kPa and 300 K. The gas undergoes an expansion process and the final conditions are 500 kPa, 270 K. If 10 kJ of heat is transferred into the gas from the surroundings at 300 K, determine (a) the boundary work (Wb), and (b) the entropy generated (Sgen) during the process
Answer:
(a) 151.84 kJ
(b) 2.922 kJ/K
Explanation:
(a) The parameters given are;
Mass of hydrogen gas, H₂ = 0.1 kg = 100 g
Molar mass of H₂ = 2.016 g/mol
Number of moles of H₂ = 100/2.016 = 49.6 moles
V₁ = mRT/P = 0.1×4.12×300/1000 = 0.1236 m³
P₁/P₂ = (V₂/V₁)^k
V₂ = (P₁/P₂)^(1/k)×V₁ =0.1236 × (1000/500)^(1/1.4) = 0.3262 m³
Boundary work done = (V₂ - V₁)(P₂ + P₁)/2 = (0.3262 - 0.1236)*(500 + 1000)/2 = 151.84 kJ
(b) Entropy generated ΔS = Cv · ㏑(T₂/T₁) + R ·㏑(v₂/v₁)
=10.18 × ㏑(270/300) + 4.12 ·㏑(0.3262/0.1236) = 2.922 kJ/K.
Which material is used in a photovoltaic cell? A photovoltaic cell converts solar radiation into electric current using a thin sheet of____ like silicon.
Answer:
first on is silicon
Explanation:
Answer:
Silicon
Explanation:
Copper indium dieseline (CIS), cadmium telluride (CdTe), and thin-film silicon are certain polycrystalline thin film materials often used, whereas high-efficiency material such as gallium arsenide (GaAs) often comprise single-crystalline thin film materials3.
