Answer:
Cost = $ 1.48
Cost = $ 0.005
Cost = $ 0.38
Explanation:
given data
electrical transmission varies = $0.070/kWh to $0.258/kWh
average value = $0.110/kWh
solution
when leaving a 40-W porch light on for two weeks while you are on vacation so cost will be
first we get here energy consumed that is express as
E = Pt .................1
here E is Energy Consumed and Power Delivered is P and t is time
so power is here 0.04 KW and t = 2 week = 336 hour
so
put value in 1 we get
E = 0.04 × 336
E = 13.44 KWh
so cost will be as
Cost = E × Unit Price .............2
put here value and we get
Cost = 13.44 × 0.11
Cost = $ 1.48
and
when you making a piece of dark toast in 3.00 min with a 970-W toaster
so energy consumed will be by equation 1 we get
E = Pt
power is = 0.97 KW and time = 3 min = 0.05 hour
put value in equation 1 for energy consume
E = 0.97 × 0.05 h
E = 0.0485 KWh
and we get cost by w\put value in equation 2 that will be
cost = E × Unit Price
cost = 0.0485 × 0.11
Cost = $ 0.005
and
when drying a load of clothes in 40.0 min in a 5.20 x 10^3-W dryer
from equation 1 we get energy consume
E = Pt
Power Delivered = 5.203 KW and time = 40 min = 0.67 hour
E = 5.203 × 0.67
E = 3.47 KWh
and
cost will by put value in equation 2
Cost = E × Unit Price
Cost = 3.47 × 0.11
Cost = $ 0.38
