Consider a refrigerator that consumes 320 W of electric power when it is running. If the refrigerator runs only one quarterof th

e time and the unit cost of electricity is $0.09/kWh, the electricity cost of this refrigerator per month (30 days) is(a) $3.56 (b) 55.18 (a 53.54 {0159.26 [6) $20.74

Answer:

$5.184

Explanation:

The cost can be calculated using the formula: Cost = Load \ factor \times Number \ of \ hours \ \\M_{month} = M_{units} \times W\\

Before using this, we require the following conversions:

<em>320 W → kW:</em>

\frac {320}{1000} = 0.32

<em>30 Days → Hours:</em>

30 \times 24 = 720

Using the above stated formula:

M_{month} = 0.09 \times 0.32 \times \frac{1}{4} \times 720 = 5.184

You are riding in an elevator that is going up at 10 ft/s. You are holding your cell phone 5 ft above the floor when it suddenly
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

It falls at the same speed in both cases.

Explanation:

If I were standing still the phone would be in free fall after slipping out of my hand.

I set a frame of reference with origin on the ground and the positive Y axis pointing up.

It would slip at t0 = 0, from a position Y0 = 5 ft, with a speed of Vy0 = 0.

It would be subject to an gravitational acceleration of -32.2 ft/s^2.

Since acceleration is constant:

Y(t) = Y0 + Vy0 * t + 1/2 * 4 * t^2

When it hits the floor at t1 it will be at Y(t1) = 0

0 = 5 + 0 * t1 - 16.1 * t1^2

16.1 * t1^2 = 5

t1^2 = 5 / 16.1

t1 = \sqrt{0.31} = 0.55 s

If the elevator is standing still it would take 0.55 s to hit the ground.

Now, if the elevator is moving up at 10 ft/s.

The frame of reference will have its origin at the place the floor of the elevator is at t = 0, and stay there as the elevetor moves. The floor of trhe elevator will have a position of Ye = 10 * t

Vy0 = 10 ft/s because it will be moving initially at the same speed as the elevator.

And it will hit the floor of the elevator not at 0, but at

Ye = 10 * t2

So:

10 * t2 = 5 + 10 * t2 - 16.1 * t2^2

0 = 5 - 16.1 * t2^2

16.1 * t1^2 = 5

t1^2 = 5 / 16.1

t1 = \sqrt{0.31} = 0.55 s

It falls at the same speed in both cases.

From your cooling load (8890.007 Btu/hr = 2.605kW, determine mass flow rate of refrigerants. Use the following "rule of thumb" e
NeX [460]

Answer:

0.740833917 ton/hr

Explanation:

Given:

Cooling load, 8890.007 Btu/hr = 2.605 kW

Room size = 180 ft^{2}

According to the thumb rule

1 ton of refrigerant = 12000Btu

Hence for 8890.007 Btu/hr,

the mass flow rate of the refrigerant is =8890.007 / 12000

                                                                = 0.740833917 ton per hr

Hence, mass flow rate is 0.740833917 ton/hr
