How much energy is used when a 110kw appliance is used for 3 hours

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.

Two in-phase loudspeakers, which emit sound in all directions, are sitting side by side. One of them is moved sideways by 4.0 mm
loris [4]

Answer:

4.4721m

Explanation:

#Use Pythagorean theorem to find the distance between the two speakers:

a^+b^2=c^2\\4^2+2^2=d^2\\\sqrt{20}\ mm=d

There are antinodes 1/4,1/2 and 3/4 of the distance between speakers.

The greatest antinode is 3/4-1/4=1/2

#Distance between consecutive antinodes is:

0.5\times \sqrt{20}=\lambda/2\\\\\lambda=4.4721m

Hence, the maximum possible wavelength of the sound waves is 4.4721m

andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

23

21.7391304348 m

Explanation:

L = Initial length = 500 m

\Delta T = Change in temperature = 40-(-35)

\alpha = Coefficient of thermal expansion = 12\times 10^{-6}\ /^{\circ}C

Change in length is given by

\Delta L=L\alpha \Delta T\\\Rightarrow \Delta L=500\times 12\times 10^{-6}\times (40-(-35))\\\Rightarrow \Delta L=0.45\ m

The change in length is 0.45 m

The number of joints would be

n=\dfrac{0.45}{0.02}\\\Rightarrow n=22.5\\\Rightarrow n\approx 23

The number of joints is 23

Each bridge section length would be

\dfrac{L}{n}=\dfrac{500}{23}=21.7391304348\ m

The length of each bridge section would be 21.7391304348 m
