One way for a family to determine their energy use is by analyzing their electric bill each month. Most energy bills include a g

raph displaying energy use over the last 12 months. This allows people to consider their energy use and make adjustments if needed. Mr. Hernandez noticed his family's usage for this December was about the same as last December, even though they were gone on vacation for about a week and a half this year. Since they were not home for a portion of the month, he expected their energy usage would be significantly lower. He calls a family meeting to discuss how they can reduce their energy bill next December, when they take another family vacation.
Which idea will reduce their energy usage the most, while also reasonable to follow?
A) For the time they are home during December, cook meals outside on the charcoal grill instead of inside with the electric stove/oven.
B) When they return from their trip, leave the television off for a week, and hang clothes up outside to dry instead of using their electric dryer.
C) Before leaving for their trip, turn the central heating system off, along with lights and electrical household appliances that will not be in use.
D) While they are home in December, they can use candles instead of electric lights, and put their food in coolers so they can unplug their refrigerator.

Answer:

C)Before leaving for their trip, turn the central heating system off, along with lights and electrical household appliances.

Explanation:

Although, the other three options will also reduce their electricity bill but they do not explain why Mr. Hernandez's family got same electricity bill as last year even though this time they were not home for one and a half week. Also, A), B) and D) ideas are not reasonable.

So, the only conclusion is that even when they were on a vacation. the electrical appliances in their home were on. That's why the bill remained the same.

The idea of turning the central heating system off, along with lights and electrical household appliances before they leave for the trip will help reduce the energy usage. Also, it is reasonable.

How do I solve such problem???
labwork [276]

1).  Calculate how long it takes an object to fall 4,000 m after it's dropped. (Use D = (1/2) (g) (T²) .  D is 4,000 m.  g = 9.8 m/s².  Find T .)

2).  Calculate how far the object will move HORIZONTALLY in that length of time, if it's moving at 75 m/s.  (Distance = (75 m/s) x (time) . )

A pipe is horizontal and carries oil that has a viscosity of 0.14 Pa s. The volume flow rate of the oil is 5.3 × 10-5 m3/s. The
Liula [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

\mu =0.14 Pa.s

Volume Flow rate Q=5.3\times 10^{-5} m^3/s

Length L=37 m

radius r=0.58 cm

D=1.16 cm

According to Hagen-Poiseuille Equation

difference in Pressure is given

\Delta P=\frac{128\mu L\cdot Q}{\pi D^4}

P_{in}-P_{out}=\frac{128\mu L\cdot Q}{\pi D^4}

P_{in}=P_{out}+\frac{128\mu L\cdot Q}{\pi D^4}

P_{in}=1.01325\times 10^5+\frac{128\times 0.14\times 37\times 5.3\times 10^{-5}}{\pi\cdot 1.16^4\times 10^{-8}}

P_{in}=1.01325\times 10^5+6.17\times 10^5

P_{in}=7.19\times 10^5

Elemental analysis of the unknown gas from part a revealed that it is 30.45% n and 69.55% o by mass. What is the molecular formu
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

the molecular formula for the gas is NO₂

Explanation:

since it contains

Nitrogen = n → 30.45%

Oxygen = o → 69.55%

and 30.45%+69.55% = 100% , then the gas only contains nitrogen and oxygen

Also we know that the proportion of oxygen over nitrogen  is

proportion of oxygen over nitrogen  = moles of oxygen / moles of nitrogen

since

moles = mass / molecular weight

then for a sample of 100 gr of the unknown gas

mass of oxygen = 69.55%*100 gr = 69.55 gr

mass of Nitrogen = 30.45%*100 gr = 30.45 gr

proportion of oxygen over nitrogen = (mass of oxygen/ molecular weight)/(mass of nitrogen / molecular weight of nitrogen ) =  (69.55 gr/ 16 gr/mol) /( 30.45 gr /14 gr/mol) = 1.998 mol of O/ mol of N≈ 2 mol of O/ mol of N

therefore there are 2 atoms of oxygen per atom of nitrogen

thus the molecular formula for the gas is:

NO₂
