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

What is the reaction force if a girl pulls on a cow?
Papessa [141]
Answer : B) The cow pulls back on the girl.

From newton’s third law we know that every action has a reaction force pushing back. So when the girl pulls on a cow, the cow is pulling back on her.

A 500g object falls off a cliff and losers 100 J from its gravitational potential energy store. if the gravitational field stren
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer : Height, h = 20.4 m

Explanation :

It is given that,

Mass of an object, m = 500 g = 0.5 kg

Gravitational potential energy, PE = 100 J

The Gravitational potential energy is the energy which is possessed due to the height and gravity of an object. It is given as :

PE = m g h

where,

h is the height of the cliff.

100\ J=0.5\ kg\times 9.8\ m/s^2\times h

h = 20.40 m

So, the height of the cliff is 20.4 m.

At the Indianapolis 500, you can measure the speed of cars just by listening to the difference in pitch of the engine noise betw
allsm [11]

To develop this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the Dopler effect.

The equation is defined by

f_i = f_0 \frac{c}{c+v}

Where

f_h= Approaching velocities

f_i= Receding velocities

c = Speed of sound

v = Emitter speed

And

f_h = f_0 \frac{c}{c+v}

Therefore using the values given we can find the velocity through,

\frac{f_h}{f_0}=\frac{c-v}{c+v}

v = c(\frac{f_h-f_i}{f_h+f_i})

Assuming the ratio above, we can use any f_h and f_i with the ratio 2.4 to 1

v = 353(\frac{2.4-1}{2.4+1})

v = 145.35m/s

Therefore the cars goes to 145.3m/s

How much heat is needed to melt 16.5kg of silver that is initially at 20*c?
zubka84 [21]
The Specific Heat Capacity of silver is 230 J/kgK, melting point is 961.8 C so the difference is 941.8K. Now we simply do q=230J/kgK*16.5kg*941.8K and that is 3 574 131 J
