<h2>Cost savings in using the fluorescent bulb is 3.81 cents</h2>

Explanation:

A 100 watt incandescent light bulb is operated for 7 hours.

Energy used by 100 watt incandescent light bulb = Power x Time

Energy used by 100 watt incandescent light bulb = 100 x 7 = 700 Wh

Energy used by 100 watt incandescent light bulb = 0.7 kWh

A 32 watt fluorescent light bulb is operated for 7 hours.

Energy used by 32 watt fluorescent light bulb = Power x Time

Energy used by 32 watt fluorescent light bulb = 32 x 7 = 224 Wh

Energy used by 32 watt fluorescent light bulb = 0.224 kWh

Cost of electricity per kWh = 8 cents

Cost of electricity by 100 watt incandescent light bulb = 0.7 x 8 = 5.6 cents

Cost of electricity by 32 watt fluorescent light bulb = 0.224 x 8 = 1.792 cents

Difference in costs = 5.6 - 1.792 = 3.808 cents

Cost savings in using the fluorescent bulb is 3.81 cents

A car speeds over a hill past point A, as shown in the figure. What is the maximum speed the car can have at point A such that i
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

11.8 m/s

Explanation:

At the top of the hill, there are two forces on the car: weight force pulling down (towards the center of the circle), and normal force pushing up (away from the center of the circle).

Sum of forces in the centripetal direction:

∑F = ma

mg − N = m v²/r

At the maximum speed, the normal force is 0.

mg = m v²/r

g = v²/r

v = √(gr)

v = √(9.8 m/s² × 14.2 m)

v = 11.8 m/s

According to the graph, what is the motorcycle’s Average velocity ?
borishaifa [10]
According to the position vs time graph, the <em>average</em> <em>velocity</em> of the motorcycle is the change in position divided by the change in time. Also, note that the slope is linear and positive throughout the 5 hours, it doesn't change direction. 

Therefore, we have
Avg velocity = change in direction/change in time
Avg velocity = (150km - 30km)/(5h - 0h)
Avg velocity = 24km/hr south.

Police radar equipment is used to detect the speed of objects. In one trial, the radar equipment records a stationary tree as tr
Brut [27]

Answer:

reliability

accuracy

Explanation:

If a reading of a measurement is consistently the same then the measurement is reliable.

If a reading of measurement is close the actual value of the measurement then the reading is accurate.

Here, a stationary tree shows reading 6 mph once and 0 mph another instant. So, neither the reading of a measurement is consistent not the reading of measurement is close the actual value.

Hence, the radar has problems in its reliability and accuracy
