Each hour 430 quintillion Joules of energy from the sun hits the Earth.

In a year it is very hard to determine because of the night and different light levels.

A 0.106-A current is charging a capacitor that has square plates 6.00 cm on each side. The plate separation is 4.00 mm. (a) Find

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

The time rate of change of flux is $1.34 \times 10^{10}$ $\frac{V}{s}$

Explanation:

Given :

Current $I = 0.106$ A

Area of plate $A = 36 \times 10^{-4}$ $m^{2}$

Plate separation $d = 4 \times 10^{-3}$ m

(A)

First find the capacitance of capacitor,

$C = \frac{\epsilon _{o} A }{d}$

Where $\epsilon _{o} = 8.85 \times 10^{-12}$

$C = \frac{8.85 \times 10^{-12 } \times 36 \times 10^{-4} }{4 \times 10^{-3} }$

$C = 7.9 \times 10^{-12}$ F

But $C = \frac{Q}{V}$

Where $Q = It$

$C = \frac{It}{V}$

$V = \frac{It}{C}$

Now differentiate above equation wrt. time,

$\frac{dV}{dt} = \frac{I}{C}$

$= \frac{0.106}{7.9 \times 10^{-12} }$

$= 1.34 \times 10^{10}$ $\frac{V}{s}$

Therefore, the time rate of change of flux is $1.34 \times 10^{10}$ $\frac{V}{s}$

The clothes washer in your house consumes 470 kWh of energy per year. Price of the washer is $360 and the lifetime of the washer

VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

$893

Explanation: the complete question should be

The clothes washer in your house consumes 470 kWh of energy per year. Price of the washer is $360 and the lifetime of the washer is 10 yrs. Energy price in your city is 9 cents per kWh. What is the lifecycle cost of the clothes washer? (assume a maintenance cost of $11 per year)

SOLUTION

Given:

The clothes washe power consumption (PC) is 470 kWh

Price of the washer (P) is $360

lifetime of the washer (L) is 10 yrs

Energy price in the city (E) is 9 cents per kWh (Covert to $ by dividing 100)

maintenance cost (M) is $11 per year

Lifecycle cost = P + (PC × L × E) +M + L

Lifecycle cost = $360 + (470kWh × 10years × 9cents/100) + ($11 × 10years)

=$893

The 5.5 million vinyl long-playing (LP) records sold in the United States per year pales in comparison with the 1.26 billion dig

miv72 [106K]

Answer:

decline

Explanation:

Based on the scenario being described within the question it can be said that these types of firms are in the decline stage of the product life cycle. This stage refers to when a product has already passed it's peak potential and sales begin to decline until production is ultimately halted and the product dies off. Which is exactly what is happening to the LP's since everyone has moved on to digital downloads.

Calculate the magnitude of the total impulse applied to the car to bring it to rest

n200080 [17]

Answer:

Total impulse = $mv$ = Initial momentum of the car

Explanation:

Let the mass of the car be 'm' kg moving with a velocity 'v' m/s.

The final velocity of the car is 0 m/s as it is brought to rest.

Impulse is equal to the product of constant force applied to an object for a very small interval. Impulse is also calculated as the total change in the linear momentum of an object during the given time interval.

The magnitude of impulse is the absolute value of the change in momentum.

$|J|=|p_f-p_i|$
