The heat loss through a window (R-2) is 10 MMBTU/year. Calculate the payback period (in years) ifArgon is filled in the window t

o increase the effective R-value of the window to 7. Assume heating price to be $10/MMBTU and the cost for filling Argon is $20.Heat lost through new window per year = (10 x 2) / 7 = 2.84 MMBTUs/yrReduction in heat lost per year = 10 - 2.84 = 7.16 MMBTUs/yrSavings in energy cost per year = 7.16 x 10 = $71.6Payback period = 20 / 71.6 = 0.28 yrs

Answer:

0.28 year

Explanation:

Heat lost through new window per year = heat loss through a window / R- value = (10 MMBTU/year × 2) / 7 = 2.86 MMBTUs/yr

Reduction in heat lost per year = heat loss through a window - Heat lost through new window per year = 10 MMBTUs/yr - 2.86 MMBTUs/yr  = 7.14 MMBTUs/yr

Savings in energy cost per year = Reduction in heat lost per year × heating price = 7.14 MMBTUs/yr × $10/MMBTU = $71.4 / yr

Payback period =  cost for filling Argon / Savings in energy cost per year = $20 / $71.4 /yr =  0.28 yrs

Vikentia [17]

Answer:

There are two main methods determining a fossils age, relative dating and absolute dating. Relative dating is used to determine a fossils approximate age by comparing it to similar rocks and fossils of known ages.

mr Goodwill [35]

Answer

Hi,

correct answer is {D} 3.5 m/s²

Explanation

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time. Acceleration can occur when a moving body is speeding up, slowing down or changing direction.

Acceleration is calculated by the equation =change in velocity/change in time

a= {velocity final-velocity initial}/(change in time)

a=v-u/Δt

The units for acceleration is meters per second square m/s²

In this example, initial velocity =2.0m/s⇒u

Final velocity=44.0m/s⇒v

Time taken for change in velocity=12 s⇒Δt

a= (44-2)/12  = 42/12

3.5 m/s²

Best Wishes!
