We could take the easy way out and just say
(110 kW) x (3 hours) = 330 kilowatt hours .
But that's cheap, and hardly worth even 5 points.
If we want to talk energy, let's use the actual scientific unit of energy.
________________________________________________
" 110 kw " means 110,000 watts = 110,000 joules/second .
(3 hours) x (3600 sec/hour) = 10,800 seconds.
(110,000 joules/second) x (10,800 seconds) = 1.188 x 10⁹ Joules
That's
==> 1,188,000,000 joules
==> 1,188,000 kilojoules
==> 1,188 megajoules
==> 1.188 gigajoules
Atsa nawfulotta energy !
It goes back to that "110 kw appliance" that we started with.
That's no common ordinary household appliance. 110 kw is something like
147 horsepower. In order to bring 110 kw into your house, you'd need to
take 458 Amperes through the 240-volt line from the pole. Most houses
are limited to 100 or 200 Amperes, tops. And the TRANSFORMER on
the pole, that supplies the whole neighborhood, is probably a 50 kw unit.
Answer:
Explanation:
Kinetic energy is energy due to motion. The formula is half the product of mass and velocity squared.
The mass of the roller coaster car is 2000 kilograms and the car is moving 10 meters per second.
Substitute these values into the formula.
Solve the exponent.
- (10 m/s)²= 10 m/s * 10 m/s= 100 m²/s²
Multiply the first two numbers together.
Multiply again.
- 1 kilogram square meter per square second is equal to 1 Joule.
- Our answer of 100,000 kg*m²/s² is equal to 100,000 Joules.
The roller coaster car has <u>100,000 Joules</u> of kinetic energy.
Scientists have designed solar cells to trap solar energy and convert it to D electrical energy. Its D because converting something has to do with recharging something and electronics have to charge. I hope I helped.
The continent of Antartica is located at the bottom of the world. the South Pole is at its center. Antarctica is the coldest and windiest place on earth. It is covered with ice up to 3 miles thick. Very few plants and animals can survive here, but penguins, fish, and seals live on the coast and in the seas. No people live on Antarctica permanently, but scientists and tourists visit.
