Answer:

The annual operating cost of the refrigerator is $102.78.

Explanation:

Power consumed by the refrigerator = 247 W = 247/1000 = 0.247 kW

Daily operation of the refrigerator = 19 hours

Annual operation of the refrigerator = 365 × 19 = 6,935 hours

Annual energy consumed = 0.247 kW × 6,935 hours = 1712.945 kWh

1 kWh of electricity cost $0.06

1712.945 kWh will cost 1712.945 × $0.06 = $102.78

Annual operating cost = $102.78

<h2>Answer:</h2>

$102.7767

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Energy, E, consumed by a device is the product of the power, P, consumed by the device and the duration (time), t, of consumption. i.e;

E = p x t         ----------------(i)

The refrigerator consumes 247W of power and operates 19 hours per day.

This implies that the refrigerator consumes 0.247kW of power and operates 19 hours per day.

This means that the energy used per day is given by substituting p = 0.247kW and t = 19h into equation (i) as follows;

E = 0.247kW x 19h

E = 4.693kWh

From the question, it is given that the cost of electricity is $0.06 per kWh. i.e

$0.06 = 1 kWh

Then;

4.693kWh = 4.693kWh x $0.06 / 1kWh = $0.28158

Therefore, the cost of electricity per day due to the refrigerator is $0.28158.

Now, to get the annual (365 days) cost of electricity, we multiply the result by 365 as follows;

Annual cost = 365 x $0.28158

Annual cost = $102.7767

A dual voltage/dual resistance AC hair dryer can be used with a 120 V or 230 V power supply. A switch allows the user to set the
NISA [10]

Answer:

The power is  p= 5621 W

Explanation:

In order to obtain the power it consumes we need to first obtain the resistance of the hair dryer at 120 V

                  R = \frac{V^2}{P} = \frac{(120 V)^2}{1530W} = 9.411 \Omega

Now the power supplied in Europe at their voltage of 230V would be

                           P = \frac{V^2} {R} = \frac{(230V)^2}{9.411 \ \Omega} = 5621 W

Looking the power obtain we see that it is higher than 1530 W so this would cause the dryer to smoke.

In c the square root of a number N can be approximated by repeated calculation using the formula NG = 0.5(LG + N/LG) where NG st
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

Following are the program to the given question:

#include <stdio.h>//header file

double square_root(double N, double initialGuess)//defining a method square_root that takes two variable in parameters

{

double NG, LG = initialGuess,diff;//defining double variable

while(1)//use loop to calculate square root value

{

NG = 0.5 * (LG + N / LG);//using given formula

diff = NG - LG;//calculating difference

if(diff < 0)//use if to check difference is less than 0

diff = -diff;//decreaing difference

if(diff < 0.005)//use if that check difference is less than 0.005

break;//using break keyword  

else//defining else block

{

LG = NG;//holding value

}

}

return NG;//return value

}

int main()//defining main method

{

double ans, n,initialguess = 1.0;//defining double variable

n = 4;//use n to hold value

ans = square_root(n, initialguess);//calculating the square root value and print its value

printf("square_root(%lf) = %lf \n", n, ans);//print calculated value with number

n = 120.5;//use n to hold value

ans = square_root(n, initialguess);//calculating the square root value and print its value

printf("square_root(%lf) = %lf \n", n, ans);//print calculated value with number

n = 36.01;//use n to hold value

ans = square_root(n, initialguess);//calculating the square root value and print its value

printf("square_root(%lf) = %lf \n", n, ans);//print calculated value with number

n = 0.25;//use n to hold value

ans = square_root(n, initialguess);//calculating the square root value and print its value

printf("square_root(%lf) = %lf \n", n, ans);//print calculated value with number

printf("\nEnter a number: ");//print message

scanf("%lf", &n);//input value

ans = square_root(n, initialguess);//calculating the square root value and print its value

printf("square_root(%lf) = %lf \n", n, ans);//print calculated value with number

}

Output:

Please find the attachment file.

Explanation:

  • In this code, a method "square_root" is declared that takes two variable "N, initialGuess" in its parameters, inside the method a three double variable is declared.
  • It uses the given formula and uses the diff variable to hold its value and uses two if to check its value is less than 0 and 0.005 and return its calculated value.
  • In the main method, three double variables are declared that use the "n" to hold value and "ans" to call the method that holds its value and print its value.
