An electric heater draws a steady 15.0A on a 120-V
line. How much power does it require and how
much does it cost per month (31days) if it operates
2.0 h per day and the electric company charges 15.5
cents per kWh?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1. 1800 W

2. $ 17.3

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Current (I) = 15 A

Voltage (V) = 120 V

Time (t) = 20 h per day

Duration = 31 days

Cost = 15.5 cents per kWh

1. Determination of the power.

Current (I) = 15 A

Voltage (V) = 120 V

Power (P) =?

P = IV

P = 15 × 120

P = 1800 W

Thus, 1800 W of power is required.

2. Determination of the cost per month (31 days).

We'll begin by converting 1800 W to KW.

1000 W = 1 KW

Therefore,

1800 W = 1800 W × 1 KW / 1000 W

1800 W = 1.8 KW

Next, we shall determine the energy consumption for 31 days. This can be obtained as follow:

Power (P) = 1.8 KW

Time (t) = 2 h per day

Time (t) for 31 days = 2 × 31 = 62 h

Energy (E) =?

E = Pt

E = 1.8 × 62

E = 111.6 KWh

Finally, we shall determine the cost of consumption. This can be obtained as follow:

1 KWh = 15.5 cents

Therefore,

111.6 KWh = 111.6 KWh × 15.5 cents / 1 KWh

111.6 KWh = 1729.8 cents

Converting 1729.8 cents to dollar, we have:

100 cents = $ 1

Therefore,

1729.8 cents = 1729.8 cents × $ 1 / 100 cents

1729.8 cents = $ 17.3

Thus, it will cost $ 17.3 per month to run the electric heater.

Answer 2

The amount of power it requires is 180 Watt, and the cost per month to operate the electric heater for 2.0 h is 5.58 cent

To calculate the electric power required by the electric heater, we use the formula below.

⇒ Formula:

P = Vi................ Equation 1

⇒ Where:

P = PowerV = Voltagei = current

From the question,

⇒ Given:

V = 120 VI = 15.0 A

⇒ Substitute these values into equation 1

P = 120(1.5)P = 180 Watt.

For the cost of running the electric heater per month, if it operates 2.0 h per day. We use the relation below

C = Pt×C'/1000............... Equation 2

⇒ Where:

C = The cost per month to operate the electric heater for 2.0ht = timeC' = Cost per kWh charge by the electric company.

From the question,

⇒ Given:

C' = 15.5 cent per kWh t = 2.0 hP = 180 Watt

⇒ Substitute these values into equation 2

C = 180(15.5)(2)/1000C = 5.58 cent.

Hence, The amount of power it requires is 180 Watt, and the cost per month to operate the electric heater for 2.0h is 5.58 cent

What relationship must exist between an applied force and the velocity of a moving object if uniform circular motion is to result?

Answers

Note that the centripetal force is proportional to the square of the velocity, implying that a doubling of speed will require four times the centripetal force to keep the motion in a circle.

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Centripetal force is defined as the inward force required to keep an object moving with a constant speed in a circular path.

The magnitude of this force depends on the mass of the object, radius of the object and the velocity of the body.

Two ice skaters stand next to each other on a frozen pond. The first skater has a mass of 65 kg and the
second skater has a mass of 82 kg. If the first skater pushes against the second with a force of 35 N, south, what are their respective
accelerations?
help me !!!

Answers

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Given that:

Mass of the first skater  = 65kg

Mass of the second skater  = 82kg

Force of push  = 35N

Unknown:

Their respective accelerations  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem;

                   Force  = mass x acceleration

From Newton's third law of motion, we know that action and reaction are equal and opposite.

 So, the force on both Skaters is 35N

Acceleration of first Skater  = [tex]\frac{35}{65}[/tex]   = 0.54m/s² North

Acceleration of second Skater  = [tex]\frac{35}{82}[/tex]   = 0.43m/s² South

Answer:

45.9m

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of roller coaster train  = 12000kg

Velocity  = 30m/s

Solution:

Kinetic energy is the energy due to the motion of body.

Potential energy is the energy due to the position of a body.

So;

             [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]  m v²    =  mgh  

 m is the mass, g is the acceleration due to gravity, h is the height and v is the velocity

                 m v²   = 2mgh

In the figure, given ∆x=30cm, k=200N/cm, g=10m/s². Find the mass of the object​

Answers

Answer:

600 Kg

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Extention (∆x) = 30 cm

Spring constant (K) = 200 N/cm Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s²

Mass (m) of object =?

Next, we shall determine force exerted. This can be obtained as follow:

Extention (∆x) = 30 cm

Spring constant (K) = 200 N/cm

Force (F) =?

F = K∆x

F = 200 × 30

F = 6000 N

Finally, we shall determine the mass of the object. This can be obtained as follow:

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s²

Force (F) = 6000 N

Mass (m) of object =?

F = mg

6000 = m × 10

Divide both side by 10

m = 6000 / 10

m = 600 Kg

Thus, the mass of the object is 600 Kg

if we ignore air resistance the mass of an object does not affect the rate at which it accelerate why?​

Answers

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The acceleration due to gravity on an object is independent of the mass of the object. This is so because, the acceleration due to gravity depends only on the radius of the earth and the mass of the earth.

As a result of this, all objects are accelerated to the same extent and should reach the ground at the same time when released from a height as long as other forces other than gravity are not at work.

Answers

Answer:

  Natalie says that all things with mass have a gravitational field, but the force is very weak and cannot be perceived around small objects.

Explanation:

The force due to gravity is proportional to the mass of the object and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between objects. The Earth is so massive that the force due to its gravity is much greater than the force between objects on the counter.

If there were no friction, the objects might move toward each other, depending on what other masses were near them tending to cause them to move in other directions.

Natalie's explanation is about the best.

Additional comment

The universal gravitational constant was determined by Henry Cavendish in the late 18th century using lead balls weighing 1.6 pounds and 348 pounds. His experiment was enclosed in a large wooden box to minimize outside effects. While these masses are somewhat greater than those of a glue bottle and stapler, the experiment shows the force of gravity between "small" objects can be measured.

There are two different isotopes; X and Y, both contain the same number of radioactive substances. If sample X
has a longer half-life than Y, compare their rate of radioactive decay.
O A. Rate does not depend on half-life
B. Both of their rates are equal
O C. X has a smaller rate than Y
O D. X has a greater rate than Y​

Answers

Answer:

Half life refers to the time for 1/2 of the radioactive atoms to decay.

Suppose that X has a half life of 10 days and Y has a half life of 20 days

If both start out with 1000 radioactive atoms then after 20 days

X would have 250 radioactive atoms and Y would have 500 atoms

The rate of decay is greater for the shorter half life:

In the example given X  must have the smaller rate of decay because it has a longer half life.

1 TBSP = 7 g

1 Cup = 8 fl oz

2 Table spoons (TBSP) for 1 cup (8 fl oz) of milk.

1. Determination of the mass of chocolate mixture in 1 cup of chocolate milk.

From the question given above,

1 Cup required 2 Table spoons (TBSP)

But

1 TBSP = 7 g

Therefore,

2 TBSP = 2 × 7 = 14 g

Thus, 1 Cup required 14 g of chocolate mixture.

2. Determination of the number fl oz of chocolate milk in 3 cups

1 Cup = 8 fl oz

Therefore,

3 Cups = 3 × 8

3 Cups = 24 fl oz

Thus, 24 fl oz of chocolate milk are in 3 cups.

3. Determination of the number of cups of chocolate milk produce from 20 TBSP.

2 TBSP is required to produce 1 cup.

Therefore,

20 TBSP will produce = 20/2 = 10 Cups.

Thus, 10 cups of chocolate milk produce from 20 TBSP.

4. Determination of the number of cups obtained from 100 fl oz chocolate milk.

8 fl oz is required to produce 1 cup.

Therefore,

100 fl oz will produce = 100 / 8 = 12½ cups.

Thus, 12½ cups is obtained from 100 fl oz chocolate milk.

a. Open system because the acceleration of the car is not constant.
b. Open system, because an external force is applied to the car that causes it to accelerate.
c. Closed system, because the speed of the car is as expected in the case where an object has uniform acceleration for a timet
d. Closed system because mechanical energy was not removed from the system as a result of a net force

Open system, because an external force is applied to the car that causes it to accelerate.

Explanation:

In this case, the system under study is the toy car. A system may be open or closed.

An open system is acted upon by external forces but a closed system is not acted upon by any external force.

Since an external force acted on the toy car causing it to accelerate, then it is an open system.

Chocolate milk contains more than one type of component. Therefore, it 1 point
is not a(n)
substance

Answers

Answer:

Homogeneous.

Explanation:

Mixture can be defined as a combination of two or more substances present in varied proportion where each materials are distinct and visibly seen by naked eyes.

In Science, there are two (2) main types of mixture and these are;

I. A homogeneous mixture: it can be defined as any liquid, solid or gaseous mixture which has an identical or uniform composition and properties throughout any given sample of the mixture. In Chemistry, all solutions are considered to be a homogeneous mixture. For example, aqueous hydrogen chloride is a homogeneous mixture of water and hydrogen chloride.

II. A heterogenous mixture: it can be defined as any mixture which has a different or non-uniform composition and properties throughout any given sample of the mixture. This ultimately implies that, the constituents of a heterogenous mixture always remain separate in the sample and as such comprises of two or more phases.

Since the chocolate milk contains more than one type of component. Therefore, it is not a homogeneous substance but a heterogenous substance.

A 3 kg block is attached to a spring of spring constant k = 250 N/m. The block is pulled to a maximum distance (amplitude) of 8 cm What is the value of the spring force when the block is at 8 cm?

Answers

Answer:

20 N

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass (m) of block = 3 Kg

Spring constant (K) = 250 N/m

Extention (e) = 8 cm

Force (F) =?

Next, we shall convert 8 cm to m. This can be obtained as follow:

100 cm = 1 m

Therefore,

8 cm = 8 cm × 1 m / 100 cm

8 cm = 0.08 m

Thus, 8 cm is equivalent to 0.08 m.

Finally, we shall determine the force when the block is at 8 cm (i.e 0.08 m). This can be obtained as follow:

Spring constant (K) = 250 N/m

Extention (e) = 0.08 m

Force (F) =?

F = Ke

F = 250 × 0.08

F = 20 N

Thus, the force is 20 N.
