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

A motorcycle is following a car that is traveling at constant speed on a straight highway. Initially, the car and the motorcycle
ra1l [238]

Answer:

a) t = 4.16 s

b) x = 141.51 m

Explanation:

Given

v = 21.5 m/s

x0 = 52.0 m

a = 6.0 m/s²

a) Motorcycle

x = v0*t + (a*t²/2)

x = 21.5t + (6*t²/2)

x = 21.5t + 3t²   <em>(I)</em>

Car

x = x0 + v0*t

x = 52 + 21.5t  <em>(II)</em>

<em />

then we can apply <em>I = II</em>

21.5t + 3t² = 52 + 21.5t

⇒ 3t² = 52

⇒ t = 4.16 s

b) We can use <em>I</em> or <em>II</em>, then

x = 52 + 21.5*(4.16)

⇒ x = 141.51 m

A round pipe of varying diameter carries petroleum from a wellhead to a refinery. At the wellhead, the pipe's diameter is 50.9 c
seraphim [82]

Answer:

Flow rate 2.34 m3/s

Diameter 0.754 m

Explanation:

Assuming steady flow, the volume flow rate along the pipe will always be constant, and equals to the product of flow speed and cross-section area.

The area at the well head is

A = \pi r_w^2 = \pi (0.509/2)^2 = 0.203 m^2

So the volume flow rate along the pipe is

\dot{V} = Av = 0.203 * 11.5 = 2.34 m^3/s

We can use the similar logic to find the cross-section area at the refinery

A_r = \dot{V}/v_r = 2.34 / 5.25 = 0.446 m^2

The radius of the pipe at the refinery is:

A_r = \pi r^2

r^2 =A_r/\pi = 0.446/\pi = 0.141

r = \sqrt{0.141} = 0.377m

So the diameter is twice the radius = 0.38*2 = 0.754m
