Answer: a) 4.32 MJ ; b)  0.32%

Explanation: In order to solve this question we have to consider that power consume to full charge the battery is I*V

so we have 100 A-hours* 12 V = 1200 W*hours ( J*hour/s)

To convert to Joules

we have to multiply by 3600 ( seconds per hour) the Total energy stored in  the battery is:

E= 1200 J/s* 3600 s= 4.32 MJ

To compare with the energy of 9 gallon petrol tank  ( 1350 MJ)

%= E electric/ Epetrol= (4.32 MJ/(1350 MJ))*100%=0.32 %

dimaraw [331]

The cost of boiling 500 cm³ of water using the 3 KW Kettle is 1.35p

<h3>What is power? </h3>

This is defined as the rate in which energy is consumed. Electrical power is expressed mathematically as:

Power (P) = Energy (E) / time (t)

P = E / t

<h3>How to determine the energy</h3>
  • Power (P) = 3 KW
  • Time (t) = 3 mins = 3 / 60 = 0.05 h
  • Energy (E) =?

E = Pt

E = 3 × 0.05

E = 0.15 KWh

<h3>How to determine the cost</h3>
  • Energy (E) = 0.15 KWh
  • Cost per unit = 9p
  • Cost =?

Cost = Energy × cost per unit

Cost = 0.15 × 9

Cost = 1.35p

Why do you lurch forward in a bus that suddenly slows? why do you lurch backward when it picks up speed? what law applies here?
AveGali [126]
The law applied here is Newton's first law, also known as, law of inertia.
This law states that: A body will retain its state of rest or motion unless acted upon by an external force.

If you are moving and the bus suddenly stops, your body will lurch forward trying to retain its state of motion until it comes to rest and changes its state by the external force acted on it.

If you are at rest and the bus suddenly moves, your body will lurch backwards trying to retain its state of rest and opposing the force of motion until it is forced to change its state by this force.
