Firstly find kilowatt*hour
so you have 5*1.5(90min=1.5hours)
7.5*8 =60
so the cost is 60 cent
8cent/kilowatthour*7.5kilowatt hour

$0.60
90 mins is 1.5 hrs
5 kW × 1.5 = 7.5 kWh
7.5 kWh × $0.08 = $0.60

A metal sphere of radius 2.0 cm carries an excess charge of 3.0 μC. What is the electric field 6.0 cm from the center of the sph
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

The electric field is  E = 7.5 *10^{6} \ N/C

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The radius of the metal sphere is  R = 2.0 \ cm  =  0.02 \ m

     The excess charge which the metal sphere carries is  q =  3.0 \mu C  =  3.0*10^{-6} \ C

      The distance of the position being to the center is D = 6.0 \ cm  = 0.06 \ m

       The coulomb constant is   k =9*10^{9} \  N \cdot m^2 /C^2

Generally the electric field is mathematically represented as  

        E = \frac{k *  q}{D^2}

substituting values

        E = \frac{9*10^{9} *  30.*10^{-6}}{(0.06)^2}

      E = 7.5 *10^{6} \ N/C

If a neutral metal comb is held near an object with a negative charge, the Como become charged by
LenKa [72]
The local charging of the comb is due to induction. The negative object's charge pushes electrons in the comb away from the side close to the charged object causing that part to be positively charged. Note that the comb's net charge is still zero provided it doesn't touch the object. When you move the comb away its electrons will redistribute.

On a straight road, a car speeds up at a constant rate from rest to 20 m/s over a 5 second interval and a truck slows at a const
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

a)

Explanation:

  • Since the car speeds up at a constant rate, we can use the kinematic equation for distance (assuming that the initial position is x=0, and choosing t₀ =0), as follows:

        x_{fc} = v_{o}*t + \frac{1}{2}*a*t^{2}   (1)

  • Since the car starts from rest, v₀ =0.
  • We know the value of t = 5 sec., but we need to find the value of a.
  • Applying the definition of acceleration, as the rate of change of velocity with respect to time, and remembering that v₀ = 0 and t₀ =0, we can solve for a, as follows:

       a_{c} =\frac{v_{fc}}{t} = \frac{20m/s}{5s} = 4 m/s2  (2)

  • Replacing a and t in (1):

       x_{fc} = v_{o}*t + \frac{1}{2}*a*t^{2}  = \frac{1}{2}*a*t^{2} = \frac{1}{2}* 4 m/s2*(5s)^{2} = 50.0 m.  (3)

  • Now, if the truck slows down at a constant rate also, we can use (1) again, noting that v₀ is not equal to zero anymore.
  • Since we have the values of vf (it's zero because the truck stops), v₀, and t, we can find the new value of a, as follows:

       a_{t} =\frac{-v_{to}}{t} = \frac{-20m/s}{10s} = -2 m/s2  (4)

  • Replacing v₀, at and t in (1), we have:

       x_{ft} = 20m/s*10.0s + \frac{1}{2}*(-2 m/s2)*(10.0s)^{2} = 200m -100m = 100.0m   (5)

  • Therefore, as the truck travels twice as far as the car, the right answer is a).
