Answer:

cost of running the furnace during January is $5619.62

Explanation:

given data

runs a day = 13 hours

January days = 31 days

resistance = 7.2 ohm

current = 16.7 A

cost of electricity = $0.10/kWh

to find out

cost of running the furnace during January

solution

first we get her power consumed by furnace that is

Power consumed = \frac{I^2}{R}  ........1

put here value we get

Power consumed = \frac{16.7^2}{7.2}

Power consumed = 38.7347 W

and

Power consumed by furnace in one hour is

Power consumed by furnace in one hour is = Power consumed × 3600

Power consumed by furnace in one hour is = 38.7347 × 3600  

Power consumed by furnace in one hour is 139.445kWh

and

Power consumed by furnace in the month of January is

Power consumed by furnace in the month of January = 139.445kWh × 13 hours × 31 days

Power consumed by furnace in the month of January = 56196.335 kWh

so

cost of running the furnace during January is = $0.10/kWh × 56196.335 kWh

cost of running the furnace during January is $5619.62

Answer:

$ 80.9

Explanation:

Resistance, R = 7.2 ohm

current, i = 16.7 A

Cost = $ 0.10 / kWh

time = 13 hours per day , 1 month

Energy = i²Rt

E = 16.7 x 16.7 x 7.2 x 13 x 31 Wh

E = 809.28 kWh

Cost of 1 kWh = $ 0.10

Cost of 809.28 = $ 0.10 x 809.28 = $ 80.9

A force F produces an acceleration a on an object of mass m. A force 3F is exerted on a second object, and an acceleration 8a re
Pie

To solve this problem we will proceed to use Newton's second law for which the mass (m) multiplied by the acceleration (a) is defined as the Force (F) applied on a body, mathematically that is,

F = ma

According to the statement for the first object, the acceleration is,

a = \frac{F}{m} \rightarrow 1^{st} Object

For the second object the acceleration is,

8a = \frac{3F}{m_2} \rightarrow 2^{nd} Object

Solving for the mass of the second object,

m_2 = \frac{3F}{8a}

m_2 = \frac{3F}{8(F/m)}

m_2 = \frac{3}{8}m

Therefore the correct answer is D.

Answer:

12N to the right.

Explanation:

There is a force of 12N upwards and a force of 12N downwards: these cancel out.

Assign a negative value to forces towards the left, and a positive value to the forces towards the right: -3N and +15N

Combine them: -3N+15N = 12N

The net force has a magnitude of 12N, and since our answer was positive, it acts towards the right.
