A house is maintained at a comfortable temperature by means of an electrical resistor heater during winter. The heater is operat

ed at a constant current (I) under an applied voltage of 110 V. For simplicity, let us assume that the heater operates at a steady state, with 100% of conversion efficiency from the electrical energy to the internal energy of air in the house. (a) (5p) Find I if the homeowner pays $8.80/day for heating, with electricity cost $0.09/kWh. (b) (5p) Calculate the heat produced by the heater in an hour.

Answer:

a)   I = 0.01029 A , b)   Q = 4074.05 J

Explanation:

a) Let's work in parts, let's start by looking for the energy consumed.

For this we use a rule of three or direct proportions if 1 kWh costs $ 0.09, how much kWh is $ 8.80

           Energy = 8.80 / 0.09

           Energy = 97,778 kWh

to calculate the current, we must have the energy consumed per second

           

Let's use a rule of three if 97,778 kWh were consumed in 24 h = 86,400 s how much was consumed in 1 s

            E₀ = 97.778 1/86400

            E₀ = 1.13168 Ws

           

the power consumed is

           P = E₀ / t

           P = 1.13168 / 1

           P = 1.13168 W

power is

           P = I V

           I = P / V

           I = 1.13168 / 110

           I = 0.01029 A

b) the heat is given by

     

           

as the efficiency is 100%

          E = P t = Q

          Q = 1.131368 3600

          Q = 4074.05 J

Suppose that Lisa walks her dog around the block for a little exercise. The block is 1 mile around. If she walks around the bloc
natita [175]
Displacement only measure how far between the starting and ending point. In this case, Lisa walks around the block as a circle so the starting point is the same as the ending point. Thus, displacement is 0mile.
On the other hand, distance measures exactly how far she walks. In this case, the distance is 1 mile, same as the perimeter of the block.

A bus took 8 hours to travel 639 km. For the first 5 hours, it
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

93 km/h

Explanation:

Given that a bus took 8 hours to travel 639 km. For the first 5 hours, it travelled at an average speed of 72 km/h

Let the first 5 hours journey distance = F

From the formula of speed,

Speed = distance/time

Substitute speed and time

72 = F/5

F = 72 × 5 = 360 km

The remaining distance will be:

639 - 360 = 279km

The remaining time will be:

8 - 5 = 3 hours

Speed = 279/3

Speed = 93 km/h

Therefore, the average speed for the remaining time of the journey is equal to 93 km/h
