Ghella [55]

Answer:

Period of brightness variation and luminosity.

Explanation:

The Cepheid variables are used as distance indicators. This requires estimation of periods and (usually) intensity-mean magnitudes in order to establish a period—apparent luminosity relation. It is particularly important for the techniques employed to be as accurate and efficient as possible.

Teams red and blue are having a tug-of-war. According to Newton's third law, the force with which the red team pulls on the blue

Zielflug [23.3K]

There are a few reasons that one teams could win. It depends if the on of the teams has a better grip on the rope or not or maybe one off the teams has more friction between the ground and there shoes. So really it no matter what one of the teams will win.

A 500 W hair dyer is used to dry hair for 6 minutes a day for 3 days. How much energy is used? A laptop uses 75 W. The cot of el

zzz [600]

Answer:

See the answers below.

Explanation:

We will solve this problem by calculating each part separately.

A 500 W hair dyer is used to dry hair for 6 minutes a day for 3 days.

Energy can be calculated by multiplying the value of the power of the equipment by the amount of time of use.

$500 [W]*[\frac{6min}{1day} ]*[\frac{1day}{24hr} ]*[\frac{1hr}{60min} ]=2.083 [W]$

The cots of electricity is 5.6 cents per kWh. How much would it cost to operate the laptop for 24 hours a day for one week?

We know that the power of the latop is 75 [W], then we can calculate the cost, multiplying the value of the power by the value of the cost by the time of use of the computer.

$0.075[kW]*5.6[\frac{cents}{kw*h}}]*[\frac{24hr}{1day}]*[1week]*[\frac{7days}{1week} ]=70.56 [cents]$

A toaster oven is 85% efficient. It uses 1200 J of energy. How much thermal energy is it producing?

Efficiency is defined as the relationship between the energy obtained on the energy delivered. Almost always the energy delivered is greater than the energy obtained (first law of thermodynamics).

Therefore.

$Effic = E_{obtained}/E_{delivered}\\0.85=E_{obtained}/1200\\E_{obtained}=1020[J]$
