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.

A truck traveling at a constant speed of 24 m/s passes a more slowly moving car. The instant the truck passes the car, the car b
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

7.15 m/s

Explanation:

We use a frame of reference in which the origin is at the point where the trucck passed the car and that moment is t=0. The X axis of the frame of reference is in the direction the vehicles move.

The truck moves at constant speed, we can use the equation for position under constant speed:

Xt = X0 + v*t

The car is accelerating with constant acceleration, we can use this equation

Xc = X0 + V0*t + 1/2*a*t^2

We know that both vehicles will meet again at x = 578

Replacing this in the equation of the truck:

578 = 24 * t

We get the time when the car passes the truck

t = 578 / 24 = 24.08 s

Before replacing the values on the car equation, we rearrange it:

Xc = X0 + V0*t + 1/2*a*t^2

V0*t = Xc - 1/2*a*t^2

V0 = (Xc - 1/2*a*t^2)/t

Now we replace

V0 = (578 - 1/2*1.4*24.08^2) / 24.08 = 7.15 m/s

An electron is released a short distance above earth's surface. a second electron directly below it exerts an electrostatic forc
slamgirl [31]

The mass of an electron is 9.109 x 10⁻³¹ kg

The weight of the electron is (mass) x (g) =  8.926 x 10⁻³⁰ Newton

The charge on an electron is -1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹ Coulomb

The repelling force between the two electrons is (K · q₁ · q₂ / r²) =

(8.98755 x 10⁹ N-m²/C²) x (1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹ C)² / D²

In order for the bottom one to just exactly hold the top one up at a distance 'D', the repelling force has to be exactly equal to the weight of the upper electron.

8.926 x 10⁻³⁰ N = (8.98755 x 10⁹ N-m²/C²)·(1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹ C)² / D²

We have to solve THAT ugly mess for ' D '.

Clean up the units first:

Cancel the C² on the right side, then divide each side by Newton:

8.926 x 10⁻³⁰ = (8.98755 x 10⁹ m²) x (1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹)² / D²

Now, let's multiply both sides by (D² x 10²⁹) :

D² x 8.926 x 10⁻¹ = (8.98755 m²) x (1.602)²

Divide each side by (0.8926):

D² = (8.98755 x 1.602²) / (0.8926)  meter²

D² = 25.84 m²

Take the square root of each side:

<em>D = 5.08 meters</em>

Which type of reaction is shown in this energy diagram?
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

The graph shows endothermic reaction because the reactants are lower in energy and the products are higher is energy. Endothermic reactions absorb energy having products with higher energy.

The density of dry air at room temperature and atmospheric pressure Is 1.2 kg m-3. What volume would 6 kg of dry air occupy unde
larisa [96]

Answer:

V = 5 m³

Explanation:

The density of air, d = 1.2 kg/m³

Mass of the dry air, m = 6 kg

We need to find the volume o the gas. We know that, the density of an object is given by mass divided by its volume. So,

d=\dfrac{m}{V}\\\\V=\dfrac{m}{d}\\\\V=\dfrac{6}{1.2}\\\\V=5\ m^3

So, the volume of the dry air is 5 m³.
