In doing a load of clothes, a clothes dryer uses 16 A of current at 240 V for 45 min. A personal computer, in contrast, uses 2.7

A of current at 120 V. With the energy used by the clothes dryer, (a) How long (in hours) could you use this computer to surf the Internet? (b)At $0.12 per kilowatt-hour, how much does it cost to operate the clothes dryer for 45 minutes?

Answer:

(a) Total time will be 8.05 hour

(B) Total cost will be $417.6                

Explanation:

We have given dryer uses 16 A of current so current i = 16 A

Voltage V = 240 volt

Time t = 45 minutes =45×60 = 2700 sec

So power P = VI = 240×16 = 3840 W

So energy E = power×time = 3840×45×60 = 9396 KJ

(A) Now current in the computer i = 2.7 A

Voltage V = 120 V

So power P = 120×2.7 = 324 W

Now computer is using energy of dryer

So time by which it will use energy is t=\frac{9396000}{324}=29000sec=8.05hour

So time will be 8.05 hour

(b) Cost per kilowatt is $0.12

So total cost =3480×0.12 = $417.6

A baseball with a mass of 151 g is thrown horizontally with a speed of 39.5 m/s (88 mi/h) at a bat. The ball is in contact with
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

the average force exerted on the ball by the bat is 11,613.27 N

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the baseball, m = 151 g = 0.151 kg

initial velocity of the baseball, u = 39.5 m/s

final velocity of the baseball, v = 45.1 m/s

time of action, t = 1.10 ms = 1.10 x 10⁻³ s

The average force exerted on the ball by the bat is calculate as;

F = ma = \frac{m(v-u)}{t} \\\\F = \frac{0.151(45.1-(-39.5))}{1.10\times 10^{-3}} \\\\F = \frac{0.151(45.1\ +\ 39.5)}{1.10\times 10^{-3}} \\\\F = 11,613.27 \ N

Therefore, the average force exerted on the ball by the bat is 11,613.27 N

If there is a gravitational force between all objects, why do we not feel or observe it?
Dmitry [639]
We do not feel the gravitational forces from objects other than the Earth because they are weak.
