(1) In everyday advertising, one observes many obvious attempts to package and sell products and ideas (toothpaste, aspirin, pre

sidential candidates) through clever influence tactics. (2) Many people claim that such blatant attempts at persuasion are so pitifully obvious that they are not much affected by them. (3) Nevertheless, the sales of Benson & Hedges 100s cigarettes increased sevenfold during a four-year period of heavy advertising. (4) The Mattel Toy Company increased company size twenty-four-fold after it began to advertise extensively on television. (5) Grape-Nuts, a venerable but nearly forgotten cereal, experienced a sudden 30 percent increase in sales when a well-known natural foods enthusiast began plugging this rather bland cereal. (6) And there are many other advertising success stories as well. (7) It appears that tremendous numbers of consumers are influenced by advertising, despite their claims to the contrary. what is the main idea?

Answer:  (7) It appears that tremendous numbers of consumers are influenced by advertising, despite their claims to the contrary.

Explanation:

The main idea of this passage is that advertising works despite people's claims to the contrary.

This is the main idea because every other sentence centres around this one with the first sentence attempting to explain how it works.

The second sentence then attempts to disprove it while the third, fourth, fifth and the sixth show show evidence of its truthfulness.

A capacity of wind farm is 3 gigawatts (GW). Assuming that the power plant can operate at full capacity for 5,000 hrs/yr, how ma
den301095 [7]

Answer:

1.5x10^10 KWh

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

Power (P) = 3GW

We need to convert 3 gigawatts (GW) to Kilowatts (KW) in order to obtain the desired result. This is illustrated below:

1 GW = 1x10^6 KW

Therefore, 3 GW = 3x10^6 KW

Time (t) = 5000 hrs/yr

Energy (E) =?

Power is simply the amount of energy transferred per unit time. It can be expressed mathematically as:

Power (P) = Energy (E) / Time (t)

P = E/t

Applying the above formula, we can calculate the energy in kWh of electricity that can be produced by the plant in one year. This is illustrated below:

P = E/t

3x10^6 KW = E / 5000 hrs/yr

Cross multiply to express in linear form as shown below:

E = 3x10^6 KW x 5000 hrs/yr

E = 1.5x10^10 KWh

Therefore, 1.5x10^10 KWh of electricity can be produced by the plant in one year.
