In the ENGR 10 lab (E391), there are 50 long light bulbs (P=100 W) and 30 regular bulbs (P=60 W). How much energy is consumed li

ghting the lab during the 3 hour lab period. Calculate the amount of energy saved if all bulbs are replaced by CFL (spiral) bulbs (P=25W).

Answer:

Total energy saving will be 0.8 KWH

Explanation:

We have given there are 50 long light bulbs of power 100 W so total power of 50 bulb = 100×50 = 5000 W = 5 KW

30 bulbs are of power 60 W

So total power of 30 bulbs = 30×60 = 1800 W = 1.8 KW

Total power of 80 bulbs = 1.8+5 = 6.8 KW

Total time = 3 hour

We know that energy $E=power\times time=6.8\times 3=20.4KWH$

Now power of each CFL bulb = 25 W

So power of 80 bulbs = 80×25 = 2000 W = 2 KW

Energy of 80 bulbs = 2×3 = 6 KWH

So total energy saving = 6.8-6 = 0.8 KWH

Here on Earth you hang a mass from a vertical spring and start it oscillating with amplitude 1.9 cm. You observe that it takes 3

Vlada [557]

Answer:

T = 3.23 s

Explanation:

In the simple harmonic movement of a spring with a mass the angular velocity is given by

w = √ K / m

With the initial data let's look for the ratio k / m

The angular velocity is related to the frequency and period

w = 2π f = 2π / T

2π / T = √ k / m

k₀ / m₀ = (2π / T)²

k₀ / m₀ = (2π / 3.0)²

k₀ / m₀ = 4.3865

The period on the new planet is

2π / T = √ k / m

T = 2π √ m / k

In this case the amounts are

m = 6 m₀

k = 10 k₀

We replace

T = 2π√6m₀ / 10k₀

T = 2π √6/10 √m₀ / k₀

T = 2π √ 0.6 √1 / 4.3865

T = 3.23 s

The rate at which heat enters an air conditioned building is often roughly proportional to the difference in temperature between

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

Considering first question

Generally the coefficient of performance of the air condition is mathematically represented as

$COP = \frac{T_i}{T_o - T_i}$

Here $T_i$ is the inside temperature

while $T_o$ is the outside temperature

What this coefficient of performance represent is the amount of heat the air condition can remove with 1 unit of electricity

So it implies that the air condition removes $\frac{T_i}{T_o - T_i}$ heat with 1 unit of electricity

Now from the question we are told that the rate at which heat enters an air conditioned building is often roughly proportional to the difference in temperature between inside and outside. This can be mathematically represented as

$Q \ \alpha \ (T_o - T_i)$

=> $Q= k (T_o - T_i)$

Here k is the constant of proportionality

So

since 1 unit of electricity removes $\frac{T_i}{T_o - T_i}$ amount of heat

E unit of electricity will remove $Q= k (T_o - T_i)$

So

$E = \frac{k(T_o - T_i)}{\frac{T_i}{ T_h - T_i} }$

=> $E = \frac{k}{T_i} (T_o - T_i)^2$

given that $\frac{k}{T_i}$ is constant

=> $E \ \alpha \ (T_o - T_i)^2$

From this above equation we see that the electricity required(cost of powering and operating the air conditioner) is approximately proportional to the square of the temperature difference.

Considering the second question

Assuming that $T_i = 30 ^oC$

and $T_o = 40 ^oC$

Hence

$E = K (T_o - T_i)^2$

Here K stand for a constant

So

$E = K (40 - 30)^2$

=> $E = 100K$

Now if the $T_i = 20 ^oC$

Then

$E = K (40 - 20)^2$

=> $E = 400 \ K$

So from this see that the electricity require (cost of powering and operating the air conditioner)when the inside temperature is low is much higher than the electricity required when the inside temperature is higher

Considering the third question

Now in the case where the heat that enters the building is at a rate proportional to the square-root of the temperature difference between inside and outside

We have that

$Q = k (T_o - T_i )^{\frac{1}{2} }$

So

$E = \frac{k (T_o - T_i )^{\frac{1}{2} }}{\frac{T_i}{T_o - T_i} }$

=> $E = \frac{k}{T_i} * (T_o - T_i) ^{\frac{3}{2} }$

Assuming $\frac{k}{T_i}$ is a constant

Then

$E \ \alpha \ (T_o - T_i)^{\frac{3}{2} }$

From this above equation we see that the electricity required(cost of powering and operating the air conditioner) is approximately proportional to the square root of the cube of the temperature difference.

A wheel starts from rest and rotates with constant angular acceleration to reach an angular speed of 11.1 rad/s in 2.99 s.(a) fi

elena55 [62]

The angular acceleration of a rotating object is given by
$\alpha = \frac{\omega_f - \omega_i}{\Delta t}$
where
$\omega_f$ is the final angular speed of the object
$\omega_i$ is its initial angular speed
$\Delta t$ is the time taken to accelerate

For the wheel in our problem, $\omega_f=11.1 rad/s$ , $\omega_i = 0$ and $\Delta t=2.99 s$ , so its angular acceleration is
$\alpha= \frac{11.1 rad/s-0}{2.99 s}=3.71 rad/s^2$
