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.

Describe and compare the rings of Saturn and Uranus, including their possible origins.
Marta_Voda [28]

Explanation:

Okay, well, Saturn's rings form a wide and complex system, consisting mostly of particles and pieces of ice, and are highly visible. They may have formed from one or more moons that broke up due to a collision, or are left over from early debris that never coalesced into a moon... And, The rings of Uranus are thin and hard to see, consisting mostly of chunks of carbon and hydrocarbons with very little reflectivity. They may also have formed from the breakup of a small moon due to a collision. They may be kept thin by the presence of shepherd moons.

Hope I helped !

A weightlifter works out at the gym each day. Part of her routine is to lie on her back and lift a 43 kg barbell straight up fro
Tasya [4]

Answer:

A. 231.77 J

B. 5330.71 J

C. 46 donuts

Explanation:

A. To lift the barbell once, she will have to extend it the full length of her arm. The work done will then be:

W = F * d

Where the force is the weight of the barbell.

F = m * g

Hence, the work done in lifting the barbell is:

W = m * g * d

W = 43 * 9.8 * 0.55

W = 231.77 J

B. If she does 23 repetitions, the total energy she expend will be equal to the Potential energy when the barbell is lifted multiplied by 23:

E = 23 * m * g * d

E = 23 * 231.77

E = 5330.71 J

C. 1 Joule = 4.184 calories

5330.71 Joules = 5330.71 * 4.184 = 22303.69

If 1 donut contains 490 calories, the number of donuts she will need will be:

N = 22303.69/490 = 45.5 donuts or 46 donuts
