<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 race car starting from rest accelerates uniformly at a rare of 4.90 meters per second^2. What is the cars speed after it has t
Vesnalui [34]

From the law of Galileo Galilei  :v²=v₀²+2ad we take the speed

v²=0+2*4.90*200=1960=>v=√1960=44.27 m/s

8. What is the frequency of green light waves that have a wavelength of 5.2 x 10-7 m.? The speed of light is 3.0 x 108 m/s
o-na [289]

Answer:

f=5.76\times 10^{14}\ Hz

Explanation:

We need to find the frequency of green light having wavelength o5.2\times 10^{-7}\ m. It can be calculated as follows :

c=f\lambda\\\\f=\dfrac{c}{\lambda}\\\\f=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{5.2\times 10^{-7}}\\\\f=5.76\times 10^{14}\ Hz

So, the required frequency of green light is equal to 5.76\times 10^{14}\ Hz.

The musical tone a piano has a frequency of 346HZ and a wavelength of 1.3 M what is the speed of the sound
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

v= 449.8 m/s

Explanation:

Given data

Frequency=  346Hz

Wave length= 1.4m

The expression below is used to find the speed

v= f \lambda\\\\

substitute

v= 346*1.3\\\\v= 449.8 m/s

Hence the speed is v= 449.8 m/s
