heat = mass x spec heat x temp rise

40.5=15.4x10^-3xspec heatx11.2

An air conditioner runs 15 minutes each hour on a hot summer day. It is on a 240 volt circuit and uses 21 amps. Rate is $.10/kWh

Helen [10]

Answer:

Approximately $\$ 3.02$ .

Explanation:

Note that the electric rate in this question is in the unit dollar-per- ${\rm kWh}$ , where $1\; {\rm kWh}$ is the energy to run an appliance of power $1\; {\rm kW}$ for an hour.

Number of minutes for which the air conditioner is running in that day: $15 \times 24 = 360\; \text{minute}$ . Apply unit conversion and ensure that this time is measured in hours (same as the unit of the electric rate.)

$\begin{aligned} \text{time} &= 360\; \text{minute} \times \frac{1\; \text{hour}}{60\; \text{minute}} = 6\; \text{hour} \end{aligned}$ .

The power of this air conditioner is:

$\begin{aligned} \text{power} &= \text{voltage} \times \text{current} \\ &= 240\; {\rm V} \times 21\; {\rm A} \\ &= 5040\; {\rm W} \\ &= 5.04\; {\rm kW} \end{aligned}$ .

Thus, the energy that this air conditioner would consume would be:

$\begin{aligned}\text{energy} &= \text{power} \times \text{time} \\ &= 5.04\; {\rm kW} \times 6\; \text{hour} \\ &= 30.24\; {\rm kWh} \end{aligned}$ .

At a rate of $0.1$ dollar-per- ${\rm kWh}$ , the cost of that much energy would be approximately $3.02$ dollars (rounded to the nearest cent.)

Which statement is true about an object moving in a circular motion due to centripetal force, F, when the mass is doubled? A. It

Allushta [10]

Force = [Mass x (velocity)^2]/Radius
Therefore,
The mass and the force are directly proportional.If you double the mass,the force will be doubled too.

A. Its centripetal force would <span>be doubled.</span>

An incandescent bulb is supplied with

Serga [27]

Answer:

Efficiency = 5%

Explanation:

Given that,

Supplies energy to the bulb = 100 J

Transferred energy by the bulb = 5 J

We need to find the efficiency of the bulb. It can be given by "

$\eta=\dfrac{\text{useful energy out}}{\text{useful energy in}}\times 100\\\\=\dfrac{5}{100}\times 100\\\\=5\%$

So, the efficiency of the bulb is 5%.

2. A 2,000 kg rocket is launched 12 km straight up at a constant acceleration into the sky at which point the rocket is travelli

Mice21 [21]

Answer:

797700000 J

Explanation:

From the question,

The work done by the rocket, is given as,

W = Ek+Ep............. Equation 1

Where Ek and Ep are the potential and the kinetic energy of the rocket respectively.

Ep = mgh............ Equation 2

Ek = 1/2mv²............. equation 3

Substitute equation 2 and equation 3 into equation 1

W = mgh+1/2mv².............. Equation 4

Where m = mass of the rocket, h = height, v = velocity of the rocket, g = acceleration due to gravity.

Given: m = 2000 kg, h = 12 km = 12000 m, v = 750 m/s, g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute into equation 4

W = 2000(12000)(9.8)+1/2(2000)(750²)

W = 235200000+562500000

W = 797700000 J
