The cost of boiling 500 cm³ of water using the 3 KW Kettle is 1.35p

<h3>What is power? </h3>

This is defined as the rate in which energy is consumed. Electrical power is expressed mathematically as:

Power (P) = Energy (E) / time (t)

P = E / t

<h3>How to determine the energy</h3>
  • Power (P) = 3 KW
  • Time (t) = 3 mins = 3 / 60 = 0.05 h
  • Energy (E) =?

E = Pt

E = 3 × 0.05

E = 0.15 KWh

<h3>How to determine the cost</h3>
  • Energy (E) = 0.15 KWh
  • Cost per unit = 9p
  • Cost =?

Cost = Energy × cost per unit

Cost = 0.15 × 9

Cost = 1.35p

how much force would be required to produce 88 j of work when pushing a box 1.1meters at an angle of 10 degrees?
ycow [4]

Answer:81.235N

Explanation:

Work=88J

theta=10°

distance=1.1 meters

work=force x cos(theta) x distance

88=force x cos10 x 1.1 cos10=0.9848

88=force x 0.9848 x 1.1

88=force x 1.08328

Divide both sides by 1.08328

88/1.08328=(force x 1.08328)/1.08328

81.235=force

Force=81.235

Light from a lamp is shining on a surface. How can you increase the intensity of the light on the surface? Light from a lamp is
Kay [80]

Answer:

the correct option is C

Explanation:

The intensity of a lamp depends on the power of the lamp that is provided by the current flowing over it, therefore the intensity would increase if we raise the current.

Another way to increase the intensity is to decrease the area with a focusing lens, as the intensity is power over area, decreasing the area increases the power.

When we see the possibilities we see that the correct option is C
