How much does it cost to leave a porch light on all night?

1 answer:

6 0

Cost = (0.001) x (the wattage of the light) x (the number of hours it's left on) x (the cost of each kilowatt-hour of electrical energy where you live).

Which statement BEST describes the condition of steady-state equilibrium? - System slowly adjusts to long-term changes in input

krok68 [10]

Answer:

System inputs and outputs fluctuate around a stable average so the system does not move far from its average condition.

Explanation:

Steady-state equilibrium can also be called dynamic equilibrium. The main difference between the two is the type of system we are considering. When a system is closed, and it attains equilibrium, there is no transfer of energy. In the case of an open system, even if the system achieves equilibrium there will be some transfer of energy but it will not deviate far from it's equilibrium point, that is, it will be in a steady-state.

Wave-particle duality tells us that wave and particle models apply to all objects whatever the size, so why don't we observe wav

Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

Because the wavelengths of macroscopic objects are too short for them to be detectable.

Explanation:

Wavelength of an object is given by de Broglie wavelength as:

$\lambda=\frac{h}{mv}$

Where, 'h' is Planck's constant, 'm' is mass of object and 'v' is its velocity.

So, for macroscopic objects, the mass is very large compared to microscopic objects. As we can observe from the above formula, there is an inverse relationship between the mass and wavelength of the object.

So, for vary larger masses, the wavelength would be too short and one will find it undetectable. Therefore, we don't observe wave properties in macroscopic objects.

Converted to<br> Energy<br> Electricity powers the lights<br> for a building.

Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

More than enough solar energy (8.2 million quad BTUs, 1 quad = 2.9 x1011 kWh) hits Earth's surface each year to meet all of societies' needs. Currently we use about 400 quads per year to run our society. Good building design allows passive use of sunlight to heat homes. Simple solar collectors are used to heat water and cook food. As useful as it is for these purposes, thermal energy from sunlight is still a low quality energy compared to electricity. Computers, most machinery, light bulbs, subway trains, and much more all require electricity. It is possible to turn thermal energy from the sun into electricity. In this unit we will examine how.

. We will also examine how to make electricity directly from light using the photovoltaic cells.

A 23.9 g sample of iridium is heated to 89.7 oC, and then dropped into 20.0 g of water in a coffee-cup calorimeter. The temperat

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

The specific heat capacity of iridium = 0.130 J/g°C

Explanation:

Assuming no heat losses to the environment and to the calorimeter,

Heat lost by the iridium sample = Heat gained by water

Heat lost by the iridium sample = mC ΔT

m = mass of iridium = 23.9 g

C = specific heat capacity of the iridium = ?

ΔT = change in temperature of the iridium = 89.7 - 22.6 = 67.1°C

Heat lost by the iridium sample = (23.9)(C)(67.1) = (1603.69 C) J

Heat gained by water = mC ΔT

m = mass of water = 20.0 g

C = 4.18 J/g°C

ΔT = 22.6 - 20.1 = 2.5°C

Heat gained by water = 20 × 4.18 × 2.5 = 209 J

Heat lost by the iridium sample = Heat gained by water

1603.69C = 209

C = (209/1603.69) = 0.130 J/g°C

• what is the typical distance between two adjacent pins on a 14-pin dual-in-line ic package?

muminat

A 14 pin dual-in-line IC package[14 DIL] is an integrated socket which is most popular form of IC package and has a wide range of application in digital electronics.

The 14-pin DIL has two pairs per side and each pair contains seven connecting pins.

The pairs of pins are arranged linearly one after another.The typical dimensions of width is 6.5 mm and the typical dimension of length is 18 mm.

we are asked to calculate the typical distance between two adjacent pins.

The typical distance between two adjacent pins is calculated as-

$Typical\ distance =\frac{dimensional\ length}{number\ of\ pins\ in\ each\ row}$

$=\frac{18 mm}{7}$

$= 2.5714 mm$ [ans]
