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

If the velocity of an object changes from 15 m/s during a time interval of 4s what is the acceleration of the object
Fiesta28 [93]
The acceleration of an object is defined as change in velocity divided by change in time, that is,
Acceleration = change in velocity / change in time
In the question given above, 
Change in velocity = 15
Change in time = 4
Acceleration = 15 /4 = 3.75
Therefore, acceleration = 3.8 m/s^2.

Two long, straight wires are separated by 0.120 m. The wires carry currents of 11 A in opposite directions, as the drawing indic
rewona [7]

Answer:

The magnitude of the magnetic field is 1.83 x 10^{-5} T.

Explanation:

The flow of an electric current in a straight wire induces magnetic field around the wire. When current is flowing through two wires in the same direction, a force of attraction exists between the wires. But if the current flows in opposite directions, the force of repulsion is felt by the wires.

In the given question, the direction of flow of current through the wires is opposite, thus both wires applies the same field on each other. The result to repulsion between them.

The magnetic field (B) between the given wires can be determined by:

B = \frac{U_{o}I }{2\pi r}

where: I is the current, r is the distance between the wires and U_{0} is the magnetic field constant.

But, I = 11 A, r = 0.12 m and U_{0} = 4\pi x 10^{-7} Tm/A

So that;

B = \frac{4\pi *10^{-7}*11 }{2\pi *0.12}

   = 1.8333 x 10^{-5}

B = 1.83 x 10^{-5} T

Two identical resistors are connected first in series and second in parallel. The equivalent resistances of the two types of con
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

\frac{R_{s} }{R_{p} } =\frac{R_{1} }{R_{2} }+\frac{R_{2} }{R_{1} } +2

Explanation:

We have series and parallel combination of two resisters R_{1} and R_{2}.

Series combination is

R_{s}= R_{1}+R_{2} and Parallel is R_{p} = (\frac{1}{R_{1}}+\frac{1}{R_{2}}  )^-1

Now dividing series equivalent resistance by parallel resistance gives us

\frac{R_{s} }{R_{p} } =\frac{R_{1} }{R_{2} }+\frac{R_{2} }{R_{1} } +2.

Note! series Combination is simply superposition of two elements (resisters in this case ) in a circuit.

El dormitorio de Pablo es rectangular, y sus lados miden 3 y 4 metros. Ha decidido dividirlo en dos partes triangulares con una
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

 c = 5 m

Explanation:

this exercise you want to divide the rectangular room into two triangular rooms

                 

the area of ​​triangles is

           A = ½ base height

           A = ½ 4 3

          A = 6 m²

the length of the curtain can be found using the Pythagorean theorem

           c² = b² + a²

           c = √ (4² + 3²)

           c = 5 m

this is the length of the curtain
