Answer:
1807.56 kJ
Explanation:
Parameters given:
Current, I = 8.9A
Time, t = 4.7hrs = 4.7 * 3600 = 16920 secs
Voltage, V = 12V
Electrical energy is given as:
E = I*V*t
Where I = Current
V = Voltage/Potential differenxe
t = time in seconds.
E = 8.9 * 12 * 16920
E = 1807056 J = 1807.056 kJ
That's "<em><u>insolation</u></em>" ... not "insulation".
'Insolation' is simply the intensity of solar radiation over some area.
If 200 kW of radiation is shining on 300 m² of area, then the insolation is
(200 kW) / (300 m²) = <em>(666 and 2/3) watt/m²</em> .
Note that this is the intensity of the <em><u>incident</u></em> radiation. It doesn't say anything
about how much soaks in or how much bounces off.
Wait !
I just looked back at the choices, and realized that I didn't answer the question
at all. I have no idea what "1 sun" means. Forgive me. I have stolen your
points, and I am filled with remorse.
Wait again !
I found it, through literally several seconds of online research.
1 sun = 1 kW/m².
So 2/3 of a kW per m² = 2/3 of 1 sun
That's between 0.5 sun and 1.0 sun.
I feel better now, and plus, I learned something.
Answer:
<em>Height = 5.65 km</em>
Explanation:
is the circumference or we can say measures the boundary of hemisphere of friction-less ice that he is sitting on.
So, the height will be = 2 x 3.14 x (30)^2 = 5654.7 m = 5.65 km
Answer:
a) 1450watts
b) 564watts
c) 1.11
Explanation:
Power consumed = IV
I is the current rating
V is the operating voltage
If a blow-dryer and a vacuum cleaner each operate with a voltage of 120 V and the current rating of the blow-dryer is 12 A, while that of the vacuum cleaner is 4.7 A then their individual power rating is calculated thus;
a) For blow-dryer
Operating voltage = 120V
Its current rating = 12A
Power consumed = IV
= 120×12
= 1440watts
b) For vacuum cleaner:
Operating voltage is the same as that of blow dryer = 120V
Its current rating = 4.7A
Power consumed = IV
= 120×4.7
= 564watts
c) Energy used = Power consumed × time taken
Energy used = Power × time
Energy used by blow dryer = 1440×20×60
= 1,728,000Joules
Energy used up by vacuum cleaner = 564×46×60
= 564×2760
= 1,556,640Joules
Ratio of the energy used by the blow-dryer in 20 minutes to the energy used by the vacuum cleaner in 46 minutes will be 1,728,000/1,556,640 = 1.11
