(a) Determine the circumference of the Earth through the equation,
C = 2πr
Substituting the known values,
C = 2π(1.50 x 10¹¹ m)
C = 9.424 x 10¹¹ m
Then, divide the answer by time which is given to a year which is equal to 31536000 s.
orbital speed = (9.424 x 10¹¹ m)/31536000 s
orbital speed = 29883.307 m/s
Hence, the orbital speed of the Earth is ~29883.307 m/s.
(b) The mass of the sun is ~1.9891 x 10³⁰ kg.
Calm, sunny days with wind moving away from the center.
Answer:
the money that would be saved is $13.14.
Explanation:
Given;
power consumed by the light bulb, P = 100 W = 0.1 kW
time of running the bulb, t = 3 hours for 365 days = 1,095 hours
cost rate of power consumption, C = $0.12 per kWh
Energy consumed by the light bulb for the given days;
E = Pt
E = 0.1 kW x 1,095 hr
E = 109.5 kWh
Cost of energy consumed = 109.5 kWh x $0.12 / kWh
= $13.14
Therefore, the money that would be saved is $13.14.
