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 5 kg ball is sitting on the floor without moving. What is the momentum of the ball?
natita [175]

Answer:

The ball has no momentum

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The mass of the ball = 5 kg

The velocity of the ball = 0 (The ball is sitting on the floor without moving)

The momentum of the ball = The mass of the ball × Velocity of the ball

Therefore, the momentum of the ball = 5 kg × 0 m/s = 0

The momentum of the ball is zero, the ball has no momentum.
