Answer: 17.658kJ

Explanation:

The work done in lifting the refridgerator is given my

W = F.d

Where W = Work done, F = Force and d = distance/height to be covered by that force = 6m

But F = mg (this work is done against gravity)

Where m = mass of fridge and g = acceleration due to gravity.

F = 300kg × 9.81m/s^2

= 2943N

W = Fh (where h is the height to be scaled by the force)

W = 2943 × 6

W = 17658J

17.658kJ of work is needed to lift the refridgerator to a height of 6m

What is the average power consumption in watts of an appliance that uses 5.00 KW.h of energy per day?
abruzzese [7]
(A) power = 0.208 kW = 208 watts
(B) energy = 6.6 x 10^{9} joules

Explanation:
energy consumed per day = 5 kWh
(a) find the power consumed in a day
1 day = 24 hours
power = \frac{energy}{time}
power = \frac{5}{24}
power = 0.208 kW = 208 watts

(b) find the energy consumed in a year
assuming it is not a leap year and number of days = 365 days
1 year = 365 x 24 x 60 x 60 = 31,536,000 seconds
energy = power x time
energy = 208 x 31,536,000
energy = 6.6 x 10^{9} joules

Explain what makes up a circuit .
ANEK [815]

Explanation:

An electrical circuit needs:

a source of electrical power (this could be a power plant or a battery)

a material along which the electricity can flow (this may be a copper wire)

something to power (this could be a bulb)

The circuit is connected in a loop. Then, the source of power pushes electrons around the wire. It lights the bulb and continues in the circuit until it is broken.

A simple circuit lights one bulb. More difficult circuits might have several switches and loops. This would allow different groups of lights to be turned on or off at the same time.

( I hope this was helpful) >;D

Estimate (a) the maximum, and (b) the minimum thermal conductivity values (in W/m-K) for a cermet that contains 83 vol% carbide
velikii [3]

Answer:

  k_max = 31.82 w/mk

  k_min  = 17.70 w/mk

Explanation:

a) the maximum thermal conductivity is given as

k_{max} = k_m*v_m + k_p*v_p

where k_m is thermal conductvitiy of metal

k_p is thermal conductvitiy of carbide

v_m = proportion of metal in the cement = 0.17

v_p = proportion of carbide in the cement = 0.83

            = 66*0.17 + 28*0.83

           k_max = 31.82 w/mk

b) the minimum thermal conductivity is given as

k_{min} = \frac{k_{carbide}* k_{metal}}{k_{metal} v_{carbide} +k_{metal} v_{carbide}}

          = \frac{28+66}{28*0.17 +66*0.83}

       k_min  = 17.70 w/mk
