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

According to Wien's Law, how many times hotter is an object whose blackbody emission spectrum peaks in the blue, at a wave lengt
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:1.55 times

Explanation:

Given

First wavelength(\lambda _1)=450 nm

Second wavelength(\lambda _2)=700 nm

According wien's diplacement law

\lambda T=constant

where \lambda =wavelength

T=Temperature

Let T_1 and T_2 be the temperatures corresponding to \lambda _1 & \lambda _2 respectively.

\lambda _1\times T_1=\lambda _2\times T_2

\frac{T_1}{T_2}=\frac{\lambda _2}{\lambda _1}

\frac{T_1}{T_2}=\frac{700}{450}=1.55

Thus object with \lambda 450 nm is 1.55 times hotter than object with wavelength \lambda =700 nm

For each of the following, describe the relationship as directly or inversely proportional:
Maksim231197 [3]
The relationships can best be described as follows:
As frequency increases, wavelength decreases. <span>The greater the </span>energy<span>, the larger the frequency </span>and<span> the shorter (smaller) the </span>wavelength<span>. </span>

<span>a) wavelength vs. frequency = inversely proportional
b) wavelength vs. energy = inversely proportional
c) frequency vs. energy = directly proportional

Hope this answers the questions. Have a nice day. Feel free to ask more questions.</span>

HELP
dem82 [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

28 / 70 = 0.3857142...  = 0.39 hr

280 / 100 = 2.8 hrs.

(100 - 0) / 10 = 10 m/s²

(60 - 20) / 4 = 10 m/s²

When a 10 V battery is connected to a resistor, 5 A of current flows through the resistor. What is the resistor's value?
SashulF [63]

Given data

*The value of battery voltage is V = 10 V

*The current flows through the resistor is I = 5 A

The formula for the resistor is given by the Ohm's law as

R=\frac{V}{I}

Substitute the values in the above expression as

\begin{gathered} R=\frac{10}{5} \\ =2\text{ ohm} \end{gathered}
