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.

telo118 [61]

The sphere has a constant potential. It is the electric field.

E = V_{0} = 0

In the sphere, then

E_{x} = 0,  E_{y}=0,   E_{z}=0

Outside the sphere, then

V = V_{0} - E_{0}z + \frac{E_{0}a^{3}z}{(x^{2} +y^{2} + z^{2})^{3/2}   }

The elements of the electric field include

E_{x} =\frac{3E_{0}a^{3}xy}{(x^{2} +y^{2} +z^{2})^{5/2}}\\E_{y} = \frac{3E_{0}a^{3}xz}{(x^{2} +y^{2}+z^{2})^{5/2}}

Which becomes,

=E_{0} (1-\frac{a^{3}}{x^{2} +y^{2}+z^{2})^{3/2}}+\frac{3a^{3}z^{2}}{(x^{2} +y^{2}+z^{2})^{5/2}})

<h3>In a consistent electric field, is force constant?</h3>

Similar to an ordinary object in the uniform gravitational field near the Earth's surface, a charged item in a uniform electric field experiences a constant force and consequently experiences a uniform acceleration. The vector cross product of p and E determines the torque's direction.

If the charge is positive, the force either moves in the same direction as E or in the opposite direction (if charge is negative).

A torque is experienced by an electric dipole (p) in an even electric field (E). The vector cross product of p and E determines the torque's direction.

the mass of a brick is 4 kg, find the mass of water displaced by it when completely immersed in water.​
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

The correct answer is = 1.6

Explanation:

Density of water = 1000kg/m³ = d₁

Mass of brick = 4kg = m

Density of brick = 2.5 g/cm³ = 2.5 × 1000 =2500 kg/m³ = d₂

Volume of brick = m/d₂ = 4/2500 =16/10000 = 0.0016 L = v

Buoyant Force = v × d₁ × g          (g= acceleration due to gravity =9.8m/s²)

= 0.0016 × 1000 × 9.8 = 15.68 Newtons

By the Archimedes' Principle, the buoyant force is equal to the weight of the liquid displaced by an object.

Weight of the water displaced=Buoyant Force

=Mass of water displaced × g,

as weight = mass × acceleration due to gravity

15.68= mass of brick × 9.8

15.68/9.8 =Mass of water displaced

1.6 kg = Mass of water displaced

A box of unknown mass is sliding with an initial speed vi = 5.60 m/s across a horizontal frictionless warehouse floor when it en
Maksim231197 [3]

We know that the Delta E + W(Work done by non-conservative forces) = 0 (change of energy)

In here, the non-conservative force is the friction force where f = uN (u =kinetic friction coefficient) 

W= f x d = uNd ; N=mg 
Delta E = 1/2 mV^2 -1/2mVi^2 

umgd + 1/2mV^2 - 1/2mVi^2 = 0 (cancel out the m term) 

This will then give us: 

1/2Vi^2-ugd = 1/2V^2 

V^2 = Vi^2 - 2ugd

So plugging in our values, will give us:

V= Sqrt (5.6^2 -2.3^2)

=sqrt (26.07)

= 5.11 m/s
