A certain type of D-cell battery that costs $0.50 is capable of producing 1.3 V and a current of 0.3 A for a period of 75 hours.

Determine the cost of the energy delivered by this battery per kilowatt hour. (For comparison, the approximate cost of energy purchased from electric utilities in the United States is $0.12 per kilowatt hour.)

Answer:

$3.51

Explanation:

The energy (E) delivered by a system is the product of the power (P) dissipated by the system and the time (t) taken for the dissipation. i.e

E = P x t -----------------------(i)

Where;

The power (P) is the product of the current (I) flowing through the system and the voltage (V) across the system. i.e

P = I x V

Substituting P = I x V into equation (i) gives;

E = (I x V) x t

=> E = IVt    --------------------(ii)

<em>From the question;</em>

Current (I) = 0.3A

Voltage (V) = 1.3V

time (t) = 75 hours = 75h

<em>Substituting these values into equation (ii) gives;</em>

=> E = 0.3 x 1.3 x 75

=> E = 29.25 Kwh

The energy delivered is 29.25Kwh

But in the U.S;

$0.12 = 1Kwh

=> 29.25Kwh = 29.25 x $0.12

=> $3.51

Therefore, the cost of the energy delivered by this battery per kilowatt hour is $3.51

How have moral and ethical issues influenced science
umka2103 [35]
Often times, moral and ethical issues could hindrance the development of science.
For example, the cloning technology has been hindranced by these type of issues since the beginning of its creation.
The moral and ethical aspect of society somehow oppose the technology because they feel that the sicentists are 'playing God' and doing something that humans are not suppose to be doing, even though there might be overwhelming benefits from the technology.

A bucket of water of mass 14.0 kg is suspended by a rope wrapped around a windlass, that is a solid cylinder with diameter 0.260
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

The tension in the rope is 41.38 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of bucket of water = 14.0 kg

Diameter of cylinder = 0.260 m

Mass of cylinder = 12.1 kg

Distance = 10.7 m

Suppose we need to find that,

What is the tension in the rope while the bucket is falling

We need to calculate the acceleration

Using relation of torque

\tau=F\times r

I\times\alpha=F\times r

Where, I = moment of inertia

\alpha = angular acceleration

\dfrac{Mr^2}{2}\times\dfrac{a}{r}=F\times r

F=\dfrac{M}{2}a...(I)

Here, F = tension

The force is

F=m(g-a)...(II)

Where, F = tension

a = acceleration

From equation (I) and (II)

\dfrac{M}{2}a=m(g-a)

a=\dfrac{g}{1+\dfrac{M}{2m}}

Put the value into the formula

a=\dfrac{9.8}{1+\dfrac{12.1}{2\times14.0}}

a=6.84\ m/s^2

We need to calculate the tension in the rope

Using equation (I)

F=\dfrac{M}{2}a

Put the value into the formula

F=\dfrac{12.1}{2}\times6.84

F=41.38\ N

Hence, The tension in the rope is 41.38 N.

Mkey [24]
A lightning strike happens so fast, and only hits a point of your body, but if you've noticed that it still completely melts the part of your body that it has stuck? Also the sun is a large mass of that heat, that will melts you the same way as lightning would if it were to continuously strike you all over your body. <span />
