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.

How does Newton describe the dependence of acceleration of a body on its mass and the net applied force?

<h2>Isaac Newton's First Law of Motion states, "A body at rest will remain at rest, and a body in motion will remain in motion unless it is acted upon by an external force." What, then, happens to a body when an external force is applied to it? That situation is described by Newton's Second Law of Motion.  </h2><h2> equation as ∑F = ma </h2><h2> </h2><h2>The large Σ (the Greek letter sigma) represents the vector sum of all the forces, or the net force, acting on a body.  </h2><h2> </h2><h2>It is rather difficult to imagine applying a constant force to a body for an indefinite length of time. In most cases, forces can only be applied for a limited time, producing what is called impulse. For a massive body moving in an inertial reference frame without any other forces such as friction acting on it, a certain impulse will cause a certain change in its velocity. The body might speed up, slow down or change direction, after which, the body will continue moving at a new constant velocity (unless, of course, the impulse causes the body to stop). </h2><h2> </h2><h2>There is one situation, however, in which we do encounter a constant force — the force due to gravitational acceleration, which causes massive bodies to exert a downward force on the Earth. In this case, the constant acceleration due to gravity is written as g, and Newton's Second Law becomes F = mg. Notice that in this case, F and g are not conventionally written as vectors, because they are always pointing in the same direction, down. </h2><h2> </h2><h2>The product of mass times gravitational acceleration, mg, is known as weight, which is just another kind of force. Without gravity, a massive body has no weight, and without a massive body, gravity cannot produce a force. In order to overcome gravity and lift a massive body, you must produce an upward force ma that is greater than the downward gravitational force mg.  </h2><h2> </h2><h2>Newton's second law in action </h2><h2>Rockets traveling through space encompass all three of Newton's laws of motion. </h2><h2> </h2><h2>If the rocket needs to slow down, speed up, or change direction, a force is used to give it a push, typically coming from the engine. The amount of the force and the location where it is providing the push can change either or both the speed (the magnitude part of acceleration) and direction. </h2><h2> </h2><h2>Now that we know how a massive body in an inertial reference frame behaves when it subjected to an outside force, such as how the engines creating the push maneuver the rocket, what happens to the body that is exerting that force? That situation is described by Newton’s Third Law of Motion.</h2><h2 />

Archer shoots his arrow towards a target at a distance of 90 m and hits bullseye . Calculate the acceleration and time taken by
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

acceleration = 45 m/s²

Time = 20 seconds

Explanation:

We are given;

Distance; s = 90m

Final velocity;v = 90 m/s

Since shot from rest, initial velocity;u = 0 m/s

So, to find the acceleration, we can use Newton's 2nd law of motion which is;

v² = u² + 2as

Where a is acceleration

Plugging in the values;

90² = 0² + 2a(90)

8100 = 180a

a = 8100/180

a = 45 m/s²

Now, for the time, we will use Newton's 1st law of motion which is;

v = u + at

Where t is time;

So;

90 = 0 + 4.5t

90 = 4.5t

t = 90/4.5

t = 20 seconds
