See the answers below.
Explanation:
We will solve this problem by calculating each part separately.
A 500 W hair dyer is used to dry hair for 6 minutes a day for 3 days.
Energy can be calculated by multiplying the value of the power of the equipment by the amount of time of use.
![500 [W]*[\frac{6min}{1day} ]*[\frac{1day}{24hr} ]*[\frac{1hr}{60min} ]=2.083 [W]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=500%20%5BW%5D%2A%5B%5Cfrac%7B6min%7D%7B1day%7D%20%5D%2A%5B%5Cfrac%7B1day%7D%7B24hr%7D%20%5D%2A%5B%5Cfrac%7B1hr%7D%7B60min%7D%20%5D%3D2.083%20%5BW%5D)
The cots of electricity is 5.6 cents per kWh. How much would it cost to operate the laptop for 24 hours a day for one week?
We know that the power of the latop is 75 [W], then we can calculate the cost, multiplying the value of the power by the value of the cost by the time of use of the computer.
![0.075[kW]*5.6[\frac{cents}{kw*h}}]*[\frac{24hr}{1day}]*[1week]*[\frac{7days}{1week} ]=70.56 [cents]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=0.075%5BkW%5D%2A5.6%5B%5Cfrac%7Bcents%7D%7Bkw%2Ah%7D%7D%5D%2A%5B%5Cfrac%7B24hr%7D%7B1day%7D%5D%2A%5B1week%5D%2A%5B%5Cfrac%7B7days%7D%7B1week%7D%20%5D%3D70.56%20%5Bcents%5D)
A toaster oven is 85% efficient. It uses 1200 J of energy. How much thermal energy is it producing?
Efficiency is defined as the relationship between the energy obtained on the energy delivered. Almost always the energy delivered is greater than the energy obtained (first law of thermodynamics).
Therefore.
![Effic = E_{obtained}/E_{delivered}\\0.85=E_{obtained}/1200\\E_{obtained}=1020[J]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Effic%20%3D%20E_%7Bobtained%7D%2FE_%7Bdelivered%7D%5C%5C0.85%3DE_%7Bobtained%7D%2F1200%5C%5CE_%7Bobtained%7D%3D1020%5BJ%5D)
<span>Is it true that nighttime air temperatures on a cloudy night are lower than they would be on a clear night?</span>
Answer:
Ohm's law states that the current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage across the two points.
Oxygen is diatomic, so its degree of freedom, (f1)= 5,
also its number of moles, n1= 1
Helium is monoatomic, so its degree of freedom (f2)= 3
and its number of moles given is, n2=2
Now using formula of effective degree of freedom of mixture, (f), we have:
f= (f1n1+f2n2)/(n1+n2)
= (5*1 + 3*2)/ (1+3)
=11/3
Also, from first law of thermodynamics;
U= n Cv. T = nRT(f2)
or, Cv = R. (f/2) (n & T cancel)
We know f=11/6,
substituting the value in above relation, we have:
Cv= R. 11/3*2
= R. 11/6
Also, Cp-Cv = R
or, Cp- R.(11/6)= R
or, Cp= R(11/6 )+1
= 17/6 R
Therefore, Cp/Cv = 17/11
