You and your housemate have an argument over the cost of the electric bill. You want to turn off the outside porch light before

going to bed each night. Your housemate wishes to keep the light on from 6:00 PM each evening to 6:00 AM the next morning and says that this will not add any significant amount to the electric bill. If the porch light bulb is a 65 W bulb, how much will your housemate's plan contribute to the electric bill each month? Take the number of days in a month as 30 and the average cost of electricity is 17.0¢/kW · h.

Answer:

  Cost = $ 3,995

Explanation:

Let's start by looking for the energy consumed, which is the power over time

               E = P t

The power is 65 W, the time is 12 h each day, in a period of 30 days the time is

            t = 12  30 = 360 h

            E = 65 360

            E = 23,500 W h

We reduce to KW h

            1 kW = 1000 W

            E = 23.5 kW h

Let's use a direct ratio rule (rule of three) to find the cost

           Cost = 23.5  17.0

           Cost = 399.5 c

           Cost = $ 3,995

_________ are exchanged or shared during the formation of a chemical bond.
Thepotemich [5.8K]
<span>A chemical bond is a lasting attraction between atoms, ions or molecules that enables the formation of chemical compounds. The bond may result from the electrostatic force of attraction between oppositely charged ions as in ionic bonds; or through the sharing of electrons as in covalent bonds.

An unfortunate astronaut loses his grip during a spacewalk and finds himself floating away from the space station, carrying only
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

15.75 m/s

Explanation:

v = Velocity of the combined mass of astronaut and tools = 1.8 m/s

m_1 = Mass of astronaut = 124 kg

m_2 = Mass of tools = 16 kg

v_1 = Velocity of astronaut = 0

v_2 = Velocity of tools

As linear momentum is conserved

m_1v_1 + m_2v_2 =(m_1 + m_2)v\\\Rightarrow v_2=\frac{(m_1 + m_2)v-m_1v_1}{m_2}\\\Rightarrow v_2=\frac{(124+16)\times 1.8-124\times 0}{16}\\\Rightarrow v_2=15.75\ m/s

The velocity of the tools is 15.75 m/s
