An energy-efficient water heater draws 4 amps in a 220-volt circuit. It costs $75 more that a standard water heater that draws 1

8 amps in a standard 115-volt circuit. If electricity costs 10 cents per kilowatt-hour, how long would you have to run the efficient water heater to recoup the difference in price? Show your calculations.

The answer to the question above is "630.25 hours" which is the time to recoup the difference in the water heater cost. This problem can be solved using a simple algebra equation which stated as (18*115*0.1/1000)x - (4*220*0.1/1000)x = $75. In this formula, x represents the time to recoup the difference in the water heater cost (Calculation: 0.207x-0.088x=75 --> 0.119x = 75 --> x = 630.25)<span>. </span>

The gravitational force between two objects increases as mass
nasty-shy [4]
F=g(m1*m2)/r^2
gravitational force is directly proportional to product of masses and inversely proportional to square of distance between them.so consequently mass should increase and distance should decrease

Convert the following 35 cm = meters
Rufina [12.5K]

Hi, there. When converting metric units, be sure to think about the memory aid:

King (kilo) * 1000

Henry (hecto) * 100

Died (deca/deka) * 10

Unusually (unit)

Drinking (deci) \frac{1}{10}

Chocolate (centi) \frac{1}{100}

Milk (milli) \frac{1}{1000}

So 35cm = 0.35m

Explanation: This is because meters and centimeters are two place values apart. A centimeter is \frac{1}{100} of a meter.

Another useful way of remembering:

Imagine that the units of measurement and their numbers are two blocks sitting on each end of a scale. One of the blocks on each side is bigger, and the other is smaller. There has to be one big block and one small block for it to balance. Since we know a meter is larger than a centimeter, the meter is the big block on one side, and the centimeter is the small one on the other side. This means that the amount of meters cannot exceed 35, or the scale won't balance.

Hope this helped.
