<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 tugboat tows a ship with a constant force of magnitude F1. The increase in the ship's speed during a 10 s interval is 5.0 km/h
Ratling [72]

Answer

given,

time  = 10 s

ship's speed = 5 Km/h

F = m a

a is the acceleration and m is mass.

In the first case

F₁=m x a₁

where a₁ =  difference in velocity / time

F₁ is constant acceleration is also a constant.

Δv₁ = 5 x 0.278

Δv₁ = 1.39 m/s

a_1=\dfrac{1.39}{10}

a₁ = 0.139 m/s²

F₂ =m x a₂

F₃ = F₂ + F₁

Δv₃ = 19 x 0.278

Δv₃ = 5.282 m/s

a₃=Δv₂ / t

a_3=\dfrac{5.282}{10}

a₃ = 0.5282 m²/s

m a₃=m a₁ + m a₂

a₃ = a₂ + a₁

0.5282 = a₂ + 0.139

a₂=0.3892 m²/s

F₂ = m x 0.3892...........(1)

F₁ = m x 0.139...............(2)

F₂/F₁

ratio = \dfrac{0.3892}{0.139}

ratio = 2.8

What must be the magnitude of a uniform electric field if it is to have the same energy density as that possessed by a 0.50 T ma
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

E = 1.50 × 10^{8} V/m

Explanation:

given data

B = 0.50 T

solution

we know that energy density by the magnetic field is express as

\mu _b = \frac{B}{2\mu _o}   ...............1

and

energy density due to electric filed is

\mu _e = \frac{\epsilon _o E^2}{2}     ...............2

and here \mu _b = \mu _ e

so that

E = \frac{B}{\sqrt{\mu _o \times \epsilon _o}}      ...................3

put here value and we get

E = \frac{0.50}{\sqrt{4\pi \times 10^{-7} \times 8.852 \times 10^{-12}}}  

E = 3 × 10^{8}  × 0.50

E = 1.50 × 10^{8} V/m

A. In one short sentence, explain why we call the force of gravity an attractive force.
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

Explanation:

(a) The force of gravity is called an attractive force because it is the force (although weak) in which a planetary body or matter uses to attract an object towards itself.

(b) Yes, it does and the formula for force of gravity between any two object is

F = G\frac{m1m2}{r}

where m1 and m2 are masses of the first and second object respectively

r is the distance between the center of the two masses

G is the gravitational constant
