Compare the energy consumption of two commonly used items in the household. Calculate the energy used by a 1.40 kW toaster oven,

Wtoaster , which is used for 5.40 minutes , and then calculate the amount of energy that an 11.0 W compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulb, Wlight , uses when left on for 10.50 hours .

Energy = (power) x (time)

-- <u>For the toaster:</u>

Power = 1.4 kW  =  1,400 watts

Time = 5.4 minutes = 324 seconds

Energy = (1,400 W) x (324 s)  =  453,600 Joules

-- <u>For the CFL bulb:</u>

Power = 11 watts

Time = 10.5 hours = 37,800 seconds

Energy = (11 W) x (37,800 s)  =  415,800 Joules

-- The toaster uses energy at 127 times the rate of the CFL bulb.

-- The CFL bulb uses energy at 0.0079 times the rate of the toaster.

-- The toaster is used for 0.0086 times as long as the CFL bulb.

-- The CFL bulb is used for 116.7 times as long as the toaster.    

-- The toaster uses 9.1% more energy than the CFL bulb.

-- The CFL bulb uses 8.3% less energy than the toaster.

Q 1 . How many significant figures are in the following measurement? 0.0009(1 point)
Crazy boy [7]

Here we have some questions about experimental errors.

Q1) We want to see how many significant figures have the measure:

0.0009

The number of significant figures is the number of known digits that are not the leading zeros.

Here we can see four leading zeros, and a single-digit different than zero, which is a 9.

Then we have only one significant figure, the 9.

Q2) Here we will use the measure that is the less exact, as the error of that measure may be larger than the smaller significant figures of the other measures.

Then:

31.2 lb + 38.02lb + 45 lb

The worst measure is 45lb, so the smallest significant figure that we should use is the first one at the left of the decimal point, then we need to round the other two measures to the next whole number, we will get:

31 lb + 38 lb + 45 lb = 114lbs

Q3) We know that the measure is 11.5 seconds and the uncertainty of 1.7%, then the uncertainty will be the 1.7% of the above measure:

(1.7%/100%)*11.5 s = 0.1955 s

Notice that our measure has one significant figure after the decimal point, so we need to round the error to the same significant figure.

0.1955 s ≈ 0.2s

Then the measure is:

11.5 s ± 0.20 s

Q4) We have the measure:

312.0 mph ± 3.9 mph.

The percent uncertainty will be the quotient between the error and the measure times 100%, or:

(3.9 mph/312.0 mph)*100%  = 1.25%

This is a percent error, we do not need to round this.

A trampoline spring has a force constant k = 800 N/m and is stretched exactly 17.5cm. What is the energy required to do this?
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

the energy required for the extension is 12.25 J

Explanation:

Given;

force constant of trampoline spring, k = 800 N/m

extension of trampoline spring, x = 17.5 cm = 0.175 m

The energy required for the extension is calculated as;

E = ¹/₂kx²

E = 0.5 x 800 x 0.175²

E = 12.25 J

Therefore, the energy required for the extension is 12.25 J

A particle moving at speed 0. 32 c has momentum p0. the speed of the particle is increased to 0. 72 c. what is its momentum now?
Semenov [28]

A particle moving at speed 0.32 c has momentum P₀. the speed of the particle is increased to 0.72 c then its momentum would be 2.25P₀.

<h3>What is momentum?</h3>

It can be defined as the product of the mass and the speed of the particle, it represents the combined effect of mass and the speed of any particle, and the momentum of any particle is expressed in Kg m/s unit.

Mathematically the formula of the momentum is

P = mv

where P is the momentum of the particle

m is the mass of the particle

v is the velocity by which the particle is moving

As given in the question a particle moving at speed 0.32 c has momentum P₀. the speed of the particle is increased to 0.72 c

by using the formula of the momentum and substituting the values of the velocity

P =mv

As mentioned in the question when the particle is moving with 0.32c velocity it has a momentum of P₀

P₀ = m*(0.32c)

If the speed of the particle is increased to 0.72 c the momentum would be

P=m*(0.72c)

by dividing the second equation from the first one

P₀/P = 0.32c/0.72c

P₀/P = 0.44

P =2.25P₀

Thus, the increased momentum of the particle would be 2.25P₀
