One kilowatt hour (kWh) is the amount of work or energy generated when one kilowatt of power is supplied for a time of one hour.

A kilowatt hour is the unit of energy used by power companies when figuring your electric bill. Determine the number of joules of energy in one kilowatt hour.

The definition of Power tells us that it is the amount of Energy supplied during a certain period of time.

In this case 1 kWh is the amount of energy released during a period of 60 minutes to replace a given task.

In practical terms 1kW hour is the equivalent of one thousand Watts, that is

P = \frac{E}{t}

Where

P = Power

E = Energy

t = time

The power is equal to 1000W or 1000J/s through a hour, then

E = Pt

E = 1000\frac{J}{s}1hour (\frac{3600s}{1hour})

E = 3.6*10^6J

Therefore the number of Joules of energy in one Kilowatt hour are 3.6*10^6J

List and define 4-5 waste materials from copper ore processing
frozen [14]
<span>Four waste materials from copper ore processing are: ore minerals, unwanted rock or gangue, uranium, and pyrite/sulfide minerals. Ore minerals are contained in rock and have potential to be economically extracted, gangue may contain silicate minerals for which there is no economic value, uranium is a frequently-occurring radionuclide found in ore bodies, and pyrite and sulfide minerals may be found in tailings piles during copper processing.</span>

How does Newtons second law of motion relate to Track and field (running sport)?
ANEK [815]
Newton's second law also helps to explain what happens every time an athlete lands during running. When the foot hits the track, it will decelerate to a stop before leaving the track again. The faster the deceleration, the greater the force of impact on the foot.

When a refrigerant trace gas is necessary in a 410a air conditioner, which of the available refrigerants should be mixed with ni
Tema [17]

The answer is CFC – 22 or HCFC - 22. To locate leaks, it is easily accomplished using a pressure – regulated dry nitrogen charge with CFC – 22. But some technicians prefer to use Refrigerant – 22 (HCFC – 22) to pressurize the system without the use of nitrogen. CFC – 22 is also known as Chlorodifluoromethane. This is a hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC). This is better recognized as HCFC-22, or R-22. It is usually used as a propellant and refrigerant. While HCFC – 22 is also known as class II hydrochlorofluorocarbon refrigerant that is less harmful to the ozone than R -12. If HCFC – 22 is used for leak testing, all refrigerant must be first detached from the system. After the leak test, HCFC – 22 should be remove before putting any other refrigerant. Do not mix refrigerants. Both HCFC – 22 and R -134a fall into the kind of refrigerants known as combustible. If exposed to oxygen, they will burn when under pressure or exposed to high temperatures.
