Answer:

The difference between the cost of operating LED and incandescent bulb is $5.1

Explanation:

We are given the cost of electricity that is 12.75 cents per kWh. We want to find out the difference in the operating cost of an incandescent and LED bulb for a time period of 2,000 hours.

Since we are not given the rating of the incandescent bulb and LED bulb, we will assume their ratings.

For a light intensity of 250 Lumens;

The average rating of an LED bulb is approximately 5 Watts.

The average rating of an incandescent bulb is approximately 25 Watts.

Now lets find out the kWh of each bulb.

Energy = Power×Time

For LED bulb:

E = 5×2,000 = 10,000 Wh

Divide by 1000 to convert into kWh

E = 10,000/1000 = 10 kWh

Cost = 12.75×10 = 127.5 cents

Cost = $1.27

For Incandescent bulb:

E = 25×2,000 = 50,000 Wh

Divide by 1000 to convert into kWh

E = 50,000/1000 = 50 kWh

Cost = 12.75×50 = 637.5 cents

Cost = $6.37

Difference in Cost:

Difference = $6.37 - $1.27 = $5.1

Therefore, the difference between the cost of operating LED and incandescent bulb is $5.1.

A salt shaker sits 0.102 m from

Ivahew [28]

The maximum speed is 0.55 m/s

Explanation:

For an object in uniform circular motion, the force of friction between the object and the ground provides the centripetal force required to keep the body in motion. Therefore we can write:

$\mu_s mg = m\frac{v^2}{r}$

where the term on the left is the frictional force and the term on the right is the centripetal force, and where

$\mu_s$ is the coefficient of static friction

m is the mass of the body

g is the gravitational acceleration

v is the speed of the body

r is the radius of the circular path

In this problem, we have:

$\mu_s = 0.307$

r = 0.102 m

$g=9.8 m/s^2$

Substituting and re-arranging, we find the maximum speed v at which the salt shaker can rotate:

$v=\sqrt{\mu gr}=\sqrt{(0.307)(9.8)(0.102)}=0.55 m/s$

A 1.0 kg copper rod rests on two horizontal rails 1.0 m apart and carries a current of 50 A from one rail to the other.

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer

given,

mass of copper rod = 1 kg

horizontal rails = 1 m

Current (I) = 50 A

coefficient of static friction = 0.6

magnetic force acting on a current carrying wire is

F = B i L

Rod is not necessarily vertical

$F_x =i L B_d$

$F_y= i L B_w$

the normal reaction N = mg-F y

static friction f = μ_s (mg-F y )

horizontal acceleration is zero

$F_x-f = 0$

$iLBd = \mu_s(mg-F_y )$

B_w = B sinθ

B_d = B cosθ

iLB cosθ= μ_s (mg- iLB sinθ)

$B = \dfrac{\mu_smg}{i(cos\theta +\mu_s sin\theta)}$

$\theta =tan{-1}{\mu_s}$

$\theta =tan{-1}{0.6}$

$\theta = 31^0$

$B = \dfrac{0.6\times 1 \times 9.8}{50(cos31^0 +0.6 sin31^0)}$

B = 0.1 T

Describes the relationship between the spectrum of one atom and the spectrum of another?

krok68 [10]

The relationship between the number of visible spectral lines are identical for atoms .However they have unique wavelengths.

Option B

<u> Explanation:</u>

A spectrum is a range of frequencies or a range of wavelengths. The photon energy of the emitted photon is equal to the difference between two states. For every atom there are quite many electron transitions and each has a energy difference.

This difference in wavelength causes spectrum .As each element emission spectrum is unique because each atom has different energy and causes uniqueness in the emission spectrum . Hence, due to the difference in energy it emits different wavelengths.
