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

Bogdan [553]3 years ago

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.

7. A Candle is placed 4 cm in front of a convex lens. The image of the candle is focused on a sheet of paper that is exactly 10
velikii [3]

Answer:

Magnification m is 2.5cm

Explanation:

This problem bothers on lenses

Given data

Object distance u= 4cm

Height of object v= 10 cm

The problem is quite straightforward seeing that object and image distances are given

We know that the magnification

m= size of image/size of object

m= v/u= 10/4 = 2. 5cm

What is a convex lens

A convex lens is a type of lens that has the centre thicker than the ends, the thickness at the centre makes the lens surface to curve outward. Convex lens causes close light rays of light to converge at a point after refraction.
