LED light bulbs are more energy efficient, last longer, cost more, and have a smaller environmental impact from manufacture to r

ecycling or disposal. The question is which costs less: incandescent, compact fluorescent (CFL), or LED lights?
(a) Ignore the time value of money. What is the average cost per hour for 25,000 hours of light-mg in a community with exist0.15/kWh electricity: for each choice?
(b) If the light is on 5%, 30%, or 60% of the time, how long until does it take for the 25,000 hours?
(c) Which type of light should a homeowner buy?

Answer:

a) Cost_incandescent  = $ 375 , Cost _CFL = $ 75 , Cost_LED = $ 45

b)  total = 20833 days ,  total_day = 3472 days ,  Total_days = 1736 d

c) LED

Explanation:

This problem is interesting to solve it, we must have a very important factor, such as the equivalence of the light emitted by the three systems, let's perform the calculation for a light intensity of 1000 lumen in the three bulbs.

consumed potence

         incandescent 100W = fluorescent (CFL) 20W = Led 12 W

Now if we can solve your exercise

a) Let's find the power consumed by each type of bulb in the 25000 h

          E = P t

incandescent

             E_incandescent = 100 25000

             E_incandescent = 2.5 105 Wh

             E_incandescent = 2.5 103 kWh

Fluorescent (Low Power) CFL

               E_CFL = 20 25000

               E _DFL = 5 102 kWh

LED

               E_LED = 12 25000

               E_LED = 3 102 kwh

               

Let's use a direct rule of proportions (rule of three) for the cost of energy, if 1 kWh costs $ 0.15, the energy calculates how much it costs

incandescent

                 Cost_Incandescent = 2.5 103 kW / h ($ 0.15 / 1kWh)

                 Cost_incandescent = $ 3.75 102 = $ 375

CFL

                  Cost_CFL = 5 102 0.15

                  Cost _CFL = $ 75

LED

                  Cost_LED = 3 102 0.15

                   Cost_LED = $ 45

Here we do not take into account the possibility of burning incandescent bulbs and there is an extra replacement cost

b) for this part we use direct proportion rules

If the day has 24 hours and the light is on for 5%, how many days are 25000 hours?

     for 5% = 0.05

hours on in a day

         #_hoursdays = 24 hrs 0.05 = 1.2 hrs

total days

          total = 25000 / 1.2

          total = 20833 days

for 30% = 0.30

       # _hoursday = 24 0.30 = 7.2 h

       Total_days = 25000 h (1 day / 7.2 h)

        total_day = 3472 days

for 60% = 0.602

         #_hours = 24 0.60 = 14.4 h

         Total _days = 25000h (1day / 14.4 h)

          Total_days = 1736 d

c) you should decide between the CFL and the Led are much lower.

Between these two should take into account the cost of the bulbs, if we only take into account the cost of the energy consumed, the selection should be LED

A bicycle tire has a pressure of 7.00×105 N/m2 at a temperature of 18.0ºC and contains 2.00 L of gas. What will its pressure be
stepan [7]

Answer:

p_2 = 664081 N/m^{2}

Explanation:

from the ideal gas law we have

PV = mRT

P = \rho RT

\rho = \frac{P}{RT}

HERE  R is gas constant for dry air  =  287  J K^{-1} kg^{-1}

\rho = \frac{7.00 10^{5}}{287(18+273)}

\rho = 8.38 kg/m^{3}

We know by ideal gas law

\rho = \frac{m_1}{V_1}

m_1 = \rho V_1 = 8.38 *2*10^{-3}

m_1 = 0.0167 kg

for m_2

m_2 = \rho V_i - V_removed

m_2 = 8.38*(.002 - 10^{-4})

m_2 = 0.0159 kg

WE KNOW

PV = mRT

V, R and T are constant therefore we have

P is directly proportional to mass

\frac{p_2}{p_1}=\frac{m_2}{m_1}

p_2 = p_1 * \frac{m_2}{m_1}

p_2 =7*10^{5} * \frac {.0159}{0.0167}

p_2 = 664081 N/m^{2}

How do scientists know our universe is older than 6500 years?
dmitriy555 [2]
<span>This is because astronomers have discovered that the Crab Nebula is 6500 light years from earth. This means it takes 6500 earth years for light to get from the Crab Nebula to earth. Therefore, if we are able to observe the Crab Nebula and beyond it then it means that earth has been in existence for 6500 years and over.  </span>

It takes Mars about ____ Earth years to orbit the Sun.
OlgaM077 [116]
<span>At this distance, and with an orbital speed of 24.077 km/s, Mars takes 686.971 Earth days, the equivalent of 1.88 Earth years, to complete a orbit around the Sun. This eccentricity is one of the most pronounced in the Solar System, with only Mercury having a greater one (0.205). 

686.971 rounds to 687
