Question

A refrigerator operates on average for 10.0 hours an day. If the power rating is the refrigerator is 709 w how much electrical energy does the fridge use in one day

Answer 1

Answer:

61257.6 kW per day

Explanation:

The rating of the refrigerator is given as : 709 w

This means the power consumption is 709 joules per second

The operating time is given as 10 hours.

Change hours to second as

1 hour = 3600 seconds

10 hours = 36000 seconds

Apply the rating as;

709 w = 1 s

?         = 36000 seconds

perform cross product to get;

709 * 36000= 25524000 w

25524000 = 25524kW

For a day, 24 hours will be;

25524 kW = 10 hours

?                 =24 hours

={24*25524}/10 = 61257.6 kW per day
