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

Why transparent object don't form a shadow​
Pani-rosa [81]

Explanation:

Transparent objects do not form shadows. The light passes completely from the transparent objects thus these objects will not form shadow. ... In such objects, the light gets refracted thus, such objects forms shadow. The refraction is also the reason why we can see such objects.

P6: An object of mass m sits on a spring of constant k in an elevator that is accelerating upwards with acceleration a. a) In te
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

(a). The spring compressed is \dfrac{ma+mg}{k}.

(b). The acceleration is 1.5 g.

Explanation:

Given that,

Acceleration = a

mass = m

spring constant = k

(a). We need to calculate the spring compressed

Using balance equation

kx-mg=ma

x=\dfrac{ma+mg}{k}....(I)

The spring compressed is \dfrac{ma+mg}{k}.

(b). If the compression is 2.5 times larger than it is when the mass sits in a still elevator,

The compression is given by

x=2.5\times x_{0}

Here, acceleration is zero

So, x=2.5\times\dfrac{mg}{k}

We need to calculate the acceleration

Put the value of x in equation (I)

2.5\times \dfrac{mg}{k}=\dfrac{ma+mg}{k}

2.5\times\dfrac{mg}{k}=\dfrac{m}{k}(a+g)

a=2.5g-g

a=1.5g

Hence, (a). The spring compressed is \dfrac{ma+mg}{k}.

(b). The acceleration is 1.5 g.

a concrete slab 20 m long and weighing 400,000 N is supported by one pillar. If a 19,600 N car is parked 8 meters from one end.
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

let the distance of pillar is "r" from one end of the slab

So here net torque must be balance with respect to pillar to be in balanced state

So here we will have

Mg(r - L/2) = mg(L/2 - 8)

here we know that

mg = 19600 N

Mg = 400,000 N

L = 20 m

from above equation we have

400,000(r - 10) = 19,600 (10 - 8)

r - 10 = 0.098

r = 10.098 m

so pillar is at distance 10.098 m from one end of the slab

State the success of j j Thompson model theory​
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

Thomson's atomic model was successful in explaining the overall neutrality of the atom. However, its propositions were not consistent with the results of later experiments. In 1906, J. J. Thomson was awarded the Nobel Prize in physics for his theories and experiments on electricity conduction by gases.

Summary. J.J. Thomson's experiments with cathode ray tubes showed that all atoms contain tiny negatively charged subatomic particles or electrons. Thomson proposed the plum pudding model of the atom, which had negatively-charged electrons embedded within a positively-charged "soup."
