Answer:

Part a)

cost = $35.58

Part b)

cost = $8.89

Explanation:

Part a)

Annual cost of the incandescent light bulb

Power = 100 Watt

daily use = 7.5 hours

total use of one year

$Energy = 100 \times 7.5 \times 365$

$Energy = 273750 Wh$

$Energy = 273.75 kWh$

cost of energy = $0.13 per kWh

so total cost of energy = $0.13 (273.75)

cost = $35.58

Part b)

25 watt fluorescent bulb

Power = 25 Watt

daily use = 7.5 hours

total use of one year

$Energy = 25 \times 7.5 \times 365$

$Energy = 68437.50 Wh$

$Energy = 68.437 kWh$

cost of energy = $0.13 per kWh

so total cost of energy = $0.13 (68.437)

cost = $8.89

A transformer consists of a 500 turn primary coil and a 2000-turnsecondary coil. If the current in the secondary is 3.0A, what i

Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

The correct solution will be "12.0 A".

Explanation:

The given values are:

$N_p= 500 \ turn$

$N_s= 200 \ turn$

$I_s= 3.0 \ A$

By using the transformer formula, we get

⇒ $\frac{N_p}{N_s} =\frac{I_s}{I_p}$

⇒ $I_p = I_s\times \frac{N_s}{N_p}$

On substituting the given values, we get

⇒ $=3.0 \ A\times \frac{2000}{500}$

⇒ $=12.0 \ A$

A silver bar 0.125 meter long is subjected to a temperature change from 200 C to 100 C . What will be the length of the bar afte

dimulka [17.4K]

\Delta L= \alpha L_0 (T_f-T_i)

= (18 x 10^-6 /°C)(0.125 m)(100° C - 200 °C)

= -0.00225 m

New length = L + ΔL
= 1.25 m + (-0.00225 m)
= 1.248
So your answer is B.

A deuterium atom is a hydrogen atom with a neutron added to its nucleus. Approximate the binding energy of this nucleus, given t

Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

c. 2 MeV.

Explanation:

The computation of the binding energy is shown below

$= [Zm_p + (A - Z)m_n - N]c^2\\\\=[(1) (1.007825u) + (2 - 1 ) ( 1.008665 u) - 2.014102 u]c^2\\\\= (0.002388u)c^2\\\\= (.002388) (931.5 MeV)\\\\=2.22 MeV$

= 2 MeV

As 1 MeV = (1 u) c^2

hence, the binding energy is 2 MeV

Therefore the correct option is c.

We simply applied the above formula so that the correct binding energy could come

And, the same is to be considered

Two planets A and B, where B has twice the mass of A, orbit the Sun in elliptical orbits. The semi-major axis of the elliptical

lozanna [386]

Answer:

2.83

Explanation:

Kepler's discovered that the square of the orbital period of a planet is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit, that is called Kepler's third law of planet motion and can be expressed as:

$T=\frac{2\pi a^{\frac{3}{2}}}{\sqrt{GM}}$ (1)

with T the orbital period, M the mass of the sun, G the Cavendish constant and a the semi major axis of the elliptical orbit of the planet. By (1) we can see that orbital period is independent of the mass of the planet and depends of the semi major axis, rearranging (1):

$\frac{T}{a^{\frac{3}{2}}}=\frac{2\pi}{\sqrt{GM}}$

$\frac{T^{2}}{a^{3}}=(\frac{2\pi }{\sqrt{GM}})^2$ (2)

Because in the right side of the equation (2) we have only constant quantities, that implies the ratio $\frac{T^{2}}{a^{3}}$ is constant for all the planets orbiting the same sun, so we can said that:

$\frac{T_{A}^{2}}{a_{A}^{3}}=\frac{T_{B}^{2}}{a_{B}^{3}}$

$\frac{T_{B}^{2}}{T_{A}^{2}}=\frac{a_{B}^{3}}{a_{A}^{3}}$

$\frac{T_{B}}{T_{A}}=\sqrt{\frac{a_{B}^{3}}{a_{A}^{3}}}=\sqrt{\frac{(2a_{A})^{3}}{a_{A}^{3}}}$

$\frac{T_{B}}{T_{A}}=\sqrt{\frac{2^3}{1}}=2.83$
