Compact fluorescent bulbs are much more efficient at producing light than are ordinary incandescent bulbs. They initially cost m

uch more, but last far longer and use much less electricity. According to one study of these bulbs, a compact bulb that produces as much light as a 100 W incandescent bulb uses only 23.0 W of power. The compact bulb lasts 10000 hours, on the average, and costs $ 12.00, whereas the incandescent bulb costs only $ 0.76, but lasts just 750 hours. The study assumed that electricity cost $ 0.090 per kilowatt-hour and that the bulbs were on for 4.0 h per day.
Required:
a. What is the total cost (including the price of the bulbs) to run each bulb for 3.0 years?
b. How much do you save over 3.0 years if you use a compact fluorescent bulb instead of an incandescent bulb?
c. What is the resistance of a "100-W" fluorescent bulb?

Answer:

a

The  \ price \  for \   Compact\ fluorescent\ bulbs \ is  \ C_T  = \$ 21.067\\The   \ price \  for \    incandescent\ bulb \ is \ C_t  = \$ 43.98

b

The \  amount  \  saved \ is  \ C_S =  \$ 22.913

c

The \ resistance \  is \ R =  626.1 \Omega

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The power used by incandescent bulb P_r  =  23.0 W

    The power used by  Compact fluorescent bulb P_p  =  100W

     The life span of  Compact fluorescent bulb is  t = 1000 \  hours

    The  prices of   Compact fluorescent bulb is C_c = \$ 12

    The  prices of incandescent bulb is C_i = \$ 0.76

     The life span of   incandescent bulb is  t_k = 750   \ hours

      The cost of electricity is C_e =  \$ 0.090/ kilowatt-hour = \frac{0.090}{1000} = \$0.00009 / W / h

    The duration of daily bulb usage is t_d  =  4 \  hours

     

Generally 3 years of bulb usage  in hours is mathematically evaluated as

    t_3 =  3 *  365 *  t_d

=>   t_3 =  3 *  365 *  4

=>   t_3 =  4380 \ h

Generally the cost to power a 23W bulb for the above duration  is mathematically represented as

 Z = 23 *  t_3 * C_e

=>   Z = 23 *  4380 * 0.00009

=>   Z = \$ 9.0667

The number of Compact fluorescent bulbs required to  achieve this about of time is mathematically represented as

       N  =  \frac{t_3}{ t}

=>  N  =  \frac{4380}{1000}

=>   N  = 0.438

=>  N  \approx  1

The total cost of  usage  for the Compact fluorescent bulb   is  mathematically represented as

      C_T  =  Z +C_c

=>   C_T  =  9.0667 +12

=>   C_T  = \$ 21.067    

The number of  incandescent bulbs required to  achieve this about of time is mathematically represented as

       M =  \frac{t_3}{ t_k}

=>  M  =  \frac{4380}{750}

=>   M  = 6

Generally the cost to power a 100W bulb for the above duration  is mathematically represented as

 Z = 100 *  t_3 * C_e

=>   Z = 100 *  4380 * 0.00009

=>   Z = \$ 39.42

The total cost of  usage  for the incandescent bulbs    is  mathematically represented as

      C_t  =  C_e + [6 *C_i]

=>   C_t  =  39.42 + [0.76 *  6]

=>   C_t  = \$ 43.98    

Generally the total amount saved is mathematically represented as

   C_S =  C_t - C_T

=>   C_S =  43.98 - 21.067

=>   C_S =  \$ 22.913

Generally the resistance of the Compact fluorescent bulb is  

    R =  \frac{V^2}{P}

    R  =  \frac{120^2}{23}

R =  626.1 \Omega

You throw a glob of putty straight up toward the ceiling, which is 3.60 m above the point where the putty leaves your hand. The
Sliva [168]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Height of ceiling is h=3.6\ m

Initial speed of Putty u=9.5\ m/s

Speed of Putty just before it strike the ceiling is given by

v^2-u^2=2as

where v=final velocity

u=initial velocity

a=acceleration

s=displacement

v^2-9.5^2=2\times (-9.8)\times 3.6

v^2=19.69

v=4.43\ m/s

time taken by putty to reach the ceiling

v=u+at

4.43=9.5-9.8\times t

t=\frac{5.07}{9.8}

t=0.517\ s

A 25.0-g sample of copper at 363 K is placed in I 00.0 g of water at 293 K. The copper and water quickly come to the sa me tempe
Simora [160]

Answer:

Final temperature is 295K

Explanation:

Where the sample of copper is placed in the water, the heat transferred from the copper is equal that the heat absorbed by the water.

The heat transferred from the copper is:

C×\frac{1mol}{63,546g}×mass×ΔT

Where C is molar heat capacity of copper (24,5J/molK)

Mass is 25,0g

And ΔT is final temperature - initial temperature (X-363K)

Also, the heat absorbed by the water is:

-C×\frac{1mol}{18,02g}×mass×ΔT

Where C is molar heat capacity of water (75,2J/molK)

Mass is 100,0g

And ΔT is final temperature - initial temperature (X-293K)

As heat transferred is equal to heat absorbed:

24,5J/molK×\frac{1mol}{63,546g}×25,0g×(X-363K) = -75,2J/molK×\frac{1mol}{18,02g}×100,0g× (X-293K)

9,64X J/K - 3499J = - 417X J/K + 122273J

426,64X J/K = 125772 J

<em>X = 295K</em>

<em></em>

Final temperature is 295K

I hope it helps!

What is the force felt by the electrons and the nuclei in the rod when the external field described in the problem introduction
fomenos

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the uploaded image

Answer:

The nuclei experience a force that will move it to the right of the conductor rod while the electrons experience a force that will move it to the left side of the conductor rod.

Explanation:

The force that act on the charges(both the positive and the negative charge ) is Mathematically expressed as

                      F = qE   => E = F/q

where F is the force, q is the charge and E is the electric field

we can see that the force is directly proportional to the electric field,so an increase in the electric field would increase the force.

we can also see that the electric field is given as force per unit charge and generally the direction of this field is taken to be the direction of the force it would exert on a positive test charge

Now from the question we are being told that the external electric field is the direction of the positive x axis

Hence this field would drive the positive charge i.e the nuclei to the right.

In order to further explain let consider this

Generally the electric field is always radially outward  originating from a positive point charge and radially in toward a negative point charge.

what  this means for this question, is that the positive point charge is on the left side of the electric field while the negative point charge is at the right side of the field.

According to Coulomb's law which states that unlike term attract while like terms repel, it means that  the electron would move to the left of the conductor rod   while the nuclei would move to the right side of the conductor rod.

A spy satellite uses a telescope with a 1.7-m-diameter mirror. It orbits the earth at a height of 180 km.
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer: the minimum spacing that must be there between two objects on the earth's surface if they are to be resolved as distinct objects by this telescope 6.45 cm

Explanation:

Given that;

diameter of the mirror d = 1.7 m

height h = 180 km = 180 × 10³ m

wavelength λ = 500 nm = 5 × 10⁻⁹ m

Now Angular separation from the peak of the central maximum is expressed as;

sin∅= 1.22 λ / d

sin∅ = (1.22 × 5 × 10⁻⁹) / 1.7

 sin∅ = 3.588 × 10⁻⁷

we know that;

 sin∅  = object separation / distance from telescope

object separation =   sin∅ × distance from telescope

object separation = 3.588 × 10⁻⁷  × 180 × 10³

object separation =6.45 × 10⁻² m

then we convert to centimeter

object separation = 6.45 cm

Therefore the minimum spacing that must be there between two objects on the earth's surface if they are to be resolved as distinct objects by this telescope 6.45 cm
