In a certain city, electricity costs $0.15 per kW·h. What is the annual cost for electricity to power a lamp-post for 6.00 hours

per day with (a) a 100.-watt incandescent light bulb (b) an energy efficient 25-watt fluorescent bulb that produces the same amount of light? Assume 1 year = 365 days.

(a) Power of bulb is 100 W, converting this into kW.

1 W=\frac{1}{1000}kW

Thus,

100 W =\frac{100}{1000}kW=0.1 kW

The bulb is used for 6 hours per day for a year, in 1 year there are 365 days thus, total hours will be:

t=6\times 365=2190 h

Electricity used will depend on power and number of hours as follows:

E=P\times t=0.1 kW\times 2190 h=219 kW.h

The cost of electricity is $0.15 per kW.h thus, cost of electricity for 219 kW.h will be:

Cost=\$ (219\times 0.15)=\$ 32.85

Therefore, annual cost of incandescent light bulb is \$ 32.85

(b) Power of bulb is 25 W, converting this into kW.

1 W=\frac{1}{1000}kW

Thus,

100 W =\frac{25}{1000}kW=0.025 kW

The bulb is used for 6 hours per day for a year, in 1 year there are 365 days thus, total hours will be:

t=6\times 365=2190 h

Electricity used will depend on power and number of hours as follows:

E=P\times t=0.025 kW\times 2190 h=54.75 kW.h

The cost of electricity is $0.15 per kW.h thus, cost of electricity for 54.75 kW.h will be:

Cost=\$ (54.75\times 0.15)=\$ 8.21

Therefore, annual cost of fluorescent bulb is \$ 8.21.

Rainbow [258]
Hello!

The pressure of the gas when it's temperature reaches 928 °C is 3823,36 kPa

To solve that we need to apply Gay-Lussac's Law. It states that the pressure of a gas when the volume is left constant (like in the case of a sealed container like an aerosol can) is proportional to temperature. This is the relationship derived from this law that we use to solve this problem:

P2= \frac{P1}{T1}*T2= \frac{103 kPa}{25}*928=3823,36 kPa

Have a nice day!

What could be the fourth quantum number of a 1s^2 electron be?
Bumek [7]

The forth quantum number is Spin quantum number and the value of Spin Quantum Number of 1s² will be +1/2. Therefore, the correct option is (B) option

<h3>What is Spin Quantum Number ?</h3>

It describes the orientation of the electron spin (rotation) in space.

In the given case of 1s² configuration,

since, the Quantum numbers are known as:

  • Principal quantum number (n) which cannot be zero.

       The allowed values of n are therefore 1, 2, 3, 4, and so on.

  • Angular quantum number (l) is able to be any integer between 0  

       and n-1.

       Therefore, for example, If n = 1, l will be 0,

                                                If n = 2, l can be either 0 or 1.

  • Magnetic quantum number (m) is able to be any integer between -l and +l.    

       Therefore, for example, If l = 3, m can be either -3 to +3.

  • Spin Quantum Number (ms): Ms = +½ or -½  accounts for the orientation of the spin axis of an electron as it is able to spin in only one of two directions.

Thus, since the fourth quantum number is Ms, spin, we infer that the answer is (B) option ie, Ms = +1/2 because it represents the positive spin on 1s².

What is 1 major discovery in cosmology that relies on improvement in existing apparatus?
never [62]
The most dramatic astronomical development of the century thus far is the detection of gravitational waves from merging black holes at a distance of 400 Mpc, during the first science run of the advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory.

The telescope was also very important. Galileo Galilei was the first person to use a telescope to look at celestial bodies (though he did not invent the telescope) and discovered the four brightest moons of Jupiter, proving that there are things in the Solar System that don't revolve around the Sun.

Physical cosmology is the branch of physics and astrophysics that deals with the study of the physical origins and evolution of the Universe. It also includes the study of the nature of the Universe on a large scale. In its earliest form, it was what is now known as "celestial mechanics", the study of the heavens.

Hope this helps you :)
