    Series RLC circuit at 5.0 kHz resonance: find L, impedance, current and power

    Yes, apologies it was a typo it is 1.6*120=192 W. If you could please check the rest of my work it would be great because this problem has been a pain in my side for a couple of days (:

    Series RLC circuit at 5.0 kHz resonance: find L, impedance, current and power

    I just wanted to know if I was correct. Whether my process of thinking was correct and the numbers backed it up. The power factor is just p=1/2 VI cosϕ, correct? so is it then 1/2 [120*1.8 cos (0)]= 96 W.

    Series RLC circuit at 5.0 kHz resonance: find L, impedance, current and power

    Homework Statement A series RLC circuit has R=75 ohms, C=20 mF and a resonance frequency of 5.0 kHz. (i) What is the value of inductance? (ii)What is the impedance of the circuit at residence? (iii)What is the rms current at resonance if the rms voltage of the power supply is 120 V? (iv) How...

    Solving for Speed on a Roller Coaster's Top of Hill

    Yeah I actually just figured it out, that is the only thing I messed up... Should be F=mv^2/r (.4)g=v^2/r (9.8*.4)r=v^2 3.92*18=v^2 v=8.4m/s Thanks for helping you guys

    Solving for Speed on a Roller Coaster's Top of Hill

    OK well if I am solving for the velocity of the moving coaster, how would I do that because I've drawn the diagram with forces and I don't see it.

    Solving for Speed on a Roller Coaster's Top of Hill

    Homework Statement A roller coaster car is going over the top of a 18-m- radius circular rise. At the top of the hill, the passengers "feel light," with an apparent weight only 60% of their true weight. How fast is the coaster moving? Homework Equations I think F=mv^2/ (r) F=ma The Attempt...
