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

Freezing Point Depression: Can someone explain this formula to me? ΔTf = Kfcm
Leya [2.2K]
If the solution is treated as an ideal solution, the extent of freezing point depression depends only on the solute concentration that can be estimated by a simple linear relationship with the cryoscopic constant: ΔTF = KF · m · i ΔTF, the freezing point depression, is defined as TF (pure solvent) - TF (solution). KF, the cryoscopic constant, which is dependent on the properties of the solvent, not the solute. Note: When conducting experiments, a higher KF value makes it easier to observe larger drops in the freezing point. For water, KF = 1.853 K·kg/mol.[1] m is the molality (mol solute per kg of solvent) i is the van 't Hoff factor (number of solute particles per mol, e.g. i = 2 for NaCl).

1. In Newton’s ring experiment, the diameter of the 5th ring is 0.30 cm and diameter of 15th the ring is 0.62 cm. Find the diame
IgorC [24]

Answer:

Diameter of Newton’s 5th ring = 0.30 cm

Diameter of Newton’s 15th ring = 0.62 cm

Diameter of Newton’s 25th ring = ?

From Newton’s rings experiment we infer that

D2n+m − D2n = 4λmR

For the 5th and 15th rings we have

D215 − D25 = 4λ * 10 * R _______ (1) (m = 10)

For 15th and 25th rings

D225 − D215 = 4λ * 10 * R _______ (2) (m = 10)

We equate the two derivatives

Equation (2) = Equation (1)

D225 − D215 = D215 − D25

D225 = 2D215 – D25

Substituting the values into the equation

D225 = 2 * 0.62 * 0.62 – 0.3 * 0.3 =0.6788 cm2

D25 = 0.8239 cm

Help with this question plz and show how you got it :) tysm!
spayn [35]
The hardest part of the job is to find the right formula to use, and write it down. You've already done that ! The rest is just turning the crank until an answer falls out.

You wrote. E = m g h.
Beautiful.
Now divide each side by (g h), and you'll have the formula for mass:

m = E / (g h).

You know all the numbers on the right side. Just pluggum in, do the arithmetic, and you'll have the mass.
