The clothes washer in your house consumes 470 kWh of energy per year. Price of the washer is $360 and the lifetime of the washer is 10 yrs. Energy price in your city is 9 cents per kWh. What is the lifecycle cost of the clothes washer? (assume a maintenance cost of $11 per year)

SOLUTION

Given:

The clothes washe power consumption (PC) is 470 kWh

Price of the washer (P) is $360

lifetime of the washer (L) is 10 yrs

Energy price in the city (E) is 9 cents per kWh (Covert to $ by dividing 100)

maintenance cost (M) is $11 per year

Lifecycle cost = P + (PC × L × E) +M + L

Lifecycle cost = $360 + (470kWh × 10years × 9cents/100) + ($11 × 10years)

=$893

Answer:

$F=-18412.9N$ , where the minus indicates the direction is opposite to that of the throw.

Explanation:

a)

Since MKS stands for meter-kilogram-second and we know that:

$1\ hour = 3600\ seconds$

$1\ mile = 1600\ meters$

$1000g = 1kg$

We can write that:

$\frac{1\ hour}{3600\ seconds}=1$

$\frac{1600\ meters}{1\ mile}=1$

$\frac{1kg}{1000g}=1$

These are conversion factors, equal to 1, so multiplying our results by them won't change their value, only their units.

So we have that:

$90 mph=90 \frac{miles}{hour}(\frac{1\ hour}{3600\ seconds})(\frac{1600\ meters}{1\ mile})=40m/s$

$110 mph=110 \frac{miles}{hour}(\frac{1\ hour}{3600\ seconds})(\frac{1600\ meters}{1\ mile})=48.89m/s$

$145 g=145 g(\frac{1kg}{1000g})=0.145kg$

b)

Newton's 2nd Law tells us that F=ma, and the definition of acceleration is $a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}$ , so we have:

$F=m\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}=m\frac{v_f-v_i}{t}$

Taking the throw direction as the positive one, for our values we have:

$F=m\frac{v_f-v_i}{t}=(0.145kg)\frac{(-48.89m/s)-(+40m/s)}{0.0007s}=-18412.9N$

100 POINTS!!! :D

charle [14.2K]

Explanation:

... in every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects. The size of the force on the first object equals the size of the force on the second object. The direction of the force on the first object is opposite to the direction of the force on the second object. Forces always come in pairs - equal and opposite action-reaction force pairs.

A train starts at rest in a station and accelerates at a constant 0.987 m/s2 for 182 seconds. Then the train decelerates at a co

algol [13]

Answer:

$\displaystyle X_T=66.6\ km$

Explanation:

<u>Accelerated Motion </u>

When a body changes its speed at a constant rate, i.e. same changes take same times, then it has a constant acceleration. The acceleration can be positive or negative. In the first case, the speed increases, and in the second time, the speed lowers until it eventually stops. The equation for the speed vf at any time t is given by

$\displaystyle V_f=V_o+a\ t$

where a is the acceleration, and vo is the initial speed .

The train has two different types of motion. It first starts from rest and has a constant acceleration of $0.987 m/s^2$ for 182 seconds. Then it brakes with a constant acceleration of $-0.321 m/s^2$ until it comes to a stop. We need to find the total distance traveled.

The equation for the distance is

$\displaystyle X=V_o\ t+\frac{a\ t^2}{2}$

Our data is

$\displaystyle V_o=0,a=0.987m/s^2,\ t=182\ sec$

Let's compute the first distance X1

$\displaystyle X_1=0+\frac{0.987\times 182^2}{2}$

$\displaystyle X_1=16,346.7\ m$

Now, we find the speed at the end of the first period of time

$\displaystyle V_{f1}=0+0.987\times 182$

$\displaystyle V_{f1}=179.6\ m/s$

That is the speed the train is at the moment it starts to brake. We need to compute the time needed to stop the train, that is, to make vf=0

$\displaystyle V_o=179.6,a=-0.321\ m/s^2\ ,V_f=0$

$\displaystyle t=\frac{v_f-v_o}{a}=\frac{0-179.6}{-0.321}$

$\displaystyle t=559.5\ sec$

Computing the second distance

$\displaystyle X_2=179.6\times559.5\ \frac{-0.321\times 559.5^2}{2}$

$\displaystyle X_2=50,243.2\ m$

The total distance is

$\displaystyle X_t=x_1+x_2=16,346.7+50,243.2$

$\displaystyle X_t=66,589.9\ m$

$\displaystyle \boxed{X_T=66.6\ km}$

Problem I Marcella (see warmup problem, above) gets her car moving steadily at 4m/s but suddenly someone stops ahead to assist h

Nady [450]

Answer:

Explanation:

a) KE = (1/2) * m * ( $v^{2}$ ) = F * d = 14m * 200N = 2800 m/N or 2.8 * $10^{3}$ m/N

b) 0J and 0m/s (if Marcella stopped after going 14 meters)

c) Known from part (a) that KE = 2800 J = F1 * d1,

2800J = F1 * (14m - 1m) => F1 = 2800J/13m = 215.384 N

Communicate is 25 a multiple of 2 or 5 ? how do you know?

It's a multiple of 5 because you can't multiply anything by 2 and get 25
