The lighting needs of a storage room are being met by six fluorescent light fixtures, each fixture containing four lamps rated a

t 60 W each. All the lamps are on during operating hours of the facility, which is 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., 365 days a year. The storage room is actually used for an average of 3 h a day. If the price of electricity is $0.11/kWh, determine the amount of energy and money that will be saved as a result of installing motion sensors. Also, determine the simple payback period if the purchase price of the sensor is $32 and it takes 1 h to install it at a cost of $66.

Answer:

amount of energy  = 4730.4 kWh/yr

amount of money = 520.34 per year

payback period = 0.188 year

Explanation:

given data

light fixtures = 6

lamp = 4

power = 60 W

average use = 3 h a day

price of electricity = $0.11/kWh

to find out

the amount of energy and money that will be saved and simple payback period if the purchase price of the sensor is $32 and it takes 1 h to install it at a cost of $66

solution

we find energy saving by difference in time the light were

ΔE = no of fixture × number of lamp × power of each lamp × Δt

ΔE is amount of energy save and Δt is time difference

so

ΔE = 6 × 4 × 365 ( 12 - 9 )

ΔE = 4730.4 kWh/yr

and

money saving find out by energy saving and unit cost that i s

ΔM = ΔE × Munit

ΔM = 4730.4 × 0.11

ΔM = 520.34 per year

and

payback period is calculate as

payback period = \frac{excess initial cost}{\Delta M}

payback period = \frac{32 + 66}{520.34}

payback period = 0.188 year

How much time will it take to do 33j of work with 11 w of power
Yuri [45]

Time required : 3 s

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Power is the work done/second.

\tt P=\dfrac{W}{t}\\\\P=power,j/s,watt\\\\W=work, J\\\\t=times=s

 

To do 33 J of work with 11 W of power

P = 11 W

W = 33 J

\tt t=\dfrac{W}{P}\\\\t=\dfrac{33}{11}\\\\t=\boxed{\bold{3~s}}

Describe the water cycle process starting from an afternoon thunderstorm. There are many different variations that could happen.
spin [16.1K]

Explanation:

The water cycle basically involves five steps:

  • evaporation and transpiration ⇄
  • condensation, ⇄
  • precipitation, ⇄
  • runoff, ⇄
  • infiltration ⇄

So when a <u>thunderstorm </u>occurs it <em>helps in completing the precipitation process </em>by enabling the release of water vapor stored up in the atmosphere to fall on the ground as rain.

After this, the water <em>runoffs </em><em>to the surface of the ground, on plants, into rocks, rivers, and lakes.</em>

Next, the <em>Infiltration process</em> enables the water on the ground surface to enter the soil some of which becomes groundwater.

The cycle begins again as the<em> </em><em>evaporation and transpiration</em> <em>process </em>begins, where the groundwater as a result of heat from the sun is taken back into the atmosphere, while water in plants by means of transpiration goes back <em>into the atmosphere</em>.

It then <em>condenses </em>and falls back as precipitation again.

At which of the following angles will the sunlight received at a location on Earth spread out over the largest area?
AleksandrR [38]

The angle at which the sunlight received at a location on Earth spread out over the largest area is 10°. Last option is correct.

<h3>What is sunlight?</h3>

The light coming from the Sun reaching the Earth's surface is called as Sunlight.

When the sun is overhead, the intensity is high because sun's rays are perpendicular to the earth's surface, so the energy spreads over a small area and the heat is too high in that region.

When, the angle is smaller, the sunlight will spread out over a larger area.

Thus, at 10° the sunlight received at a location on Earth spread out over the largest area. Last option is correct.

Air conditioners sold in the United States are given a seasonal energy-efficiency ratio (SEER) rating that consumers can use to
amid [387]

Answer:

112.58

Explanation:

The Coefficient of Performance of any system is denoted by COP=Q/W, where Q is the useful heat supplied or removed and W is the work required by the system. According to the first law of thermoddynamics Qh= Qc + W, where Qh is the heat transfered to the hot reservoir and Qc is the heat collected from the cold reservoir. Substituting the values for W and apllying the limitation for maximum theoretical efficiency we end up with the eqution shown below.

The Coefficient of Performance of air conditioner or COP is denoted by

COP(cool) = Tc/(Th- Tc)

where Tc: the lowest temperature

           Th: the highest temperature

converting the values to Kelvin and adding them in the above equation

COP(cool) = (25+273)/((34+273)-(25+273))

                 = 298/(307-298)

                 = 298/9 = 33.11

From the question, it is stated that COP=SEER/3.4

hence, SEER= COP * 3.4

SEER= 33.11 * 3.4 = 112.58

A child’s toy arrow is launched horizontally from a bow at a speed of 8 m/s from a second story window 4 meters above the ground
Westkost [7]
First find the time it takes to hit the sand t
using s=1/2 g t^2
t^2= 8/9.8= 0.82 seconds
This means the sand was s = 8 * 0.82 = 6.5m away
The horizontal speed stays constant at 8 m/s
The vertical speed =.82 * 9.8 = 8.0 m/s
As the two velocities are equal the angle must be 45 degrees to the horizontal
