Your family has asked you to estimate the operating costs of your clothes dryer for the year. The clothes dryer in your home has

a power rating of 2250 W. To dry one typical load of clothes the dryer will run for approximately 45 minutes. In Ontario, the cost of electricity is $0.11/kWh. Calculate the costs to run the dryer for your family for one year.

Answer:

The costs to run the dryer for one year are $ 9.03.

Explanation:

Given that the clothes dryer in my home has a power rating of 2250 Watts, and to dry one typical load of clothes the dryer will run for approximately 45 minutes, and in Ontario, the cost of electricity is $ 0.11 / kWh, to calculate the costs to run the dryer for one year the following calculation must be performed:

1 watt = 0.001 kilowatt

2250/45 = 50 watts per minute

45 x 365 = 16,425 / 60 = 273.75 hours of consumption

50 x 60 = 300 watt = 0.3 kw / h

0.3 x 273.75 = 82.125

82.125 x 0.11 = 9.03

Therefore, the costs to run the dryer for one year are $ 9.03.

When you learned about the Highway Transportation system you learned about 6 different types of people as
Musya8 [376]

Answer: 3 different types of people using Highway Transportation system are :

1. Pedestrians - should be given priority while driving.

2. Cyclists - should be given enough space on road.

3. Motorcyclists- should be given enough space on road.

Explanation:

1. Pedestrians - Most of pedestrians use to walk on the footpath along side road that keeps them on a safe side. But there are places without footpath along side road, in that case they have to walk on the road itself. Here, we need to take care for them. We need to wait in case they are crossing road and also check for them while taking a turn.

2. Cyclists - They travel on road but are tough to figure out. They travel at a slower pace compared to cars. To avoid any accident with them, we are supposed to give them enough space which should be equivalent to a car's space.

3. Motorcyclists - They can pass by very closely and also come between lanes. Most of the things to be considered here are same as that of cyclists. Here also, we need to check for them carefully while taking a turn. Also, need to give them enough space.

A thick steel slab (rho= 7800 kg/m3 , cp= 480 J/kg K, k= 50 W/m K) is initially at 300 °C and is cooled by water jets impinging
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

t = 2244.3 sec

Explanation:

calculate the thermal diffusivity

\alpha = \frac{k}{\rho c}

           = \frac{50}{7800\times 480} = 1.34 \times 10^{-5} m^2/s

                   

Temperature at 28 mm distance after t time  = =  50 degree C

we know that

\frac[ T_{28} - T_s}{T_i -T_s} = erf(\frac{x}{2\sqrt{at}})

\frac{ 50 -25}{300-25} = erf [\frac{28\times 10^{-3}}{2\sqrt{1.34\times 10^{-5}\times t}}]

0.909 = erf{\frac{3.8245}{\sqrt{t}}}

from gaussian error function table , similarity variable w calculated as

erf w = 0.909

it is lie between erf w = 0.9008  and erf w = 0.11246 so by interpolation we have

w = 0.08073

erf 0.08073 = erf[\frac{3.8245}{\sqrt{t}}]

0.08073 = \frac{3.8245}{\sqrt{t}}

solving fot t we get

t = 2244.3 sec

When shutting down your computer yesterday, you received a notice that you had a pending update, so you allowed the computer to
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

a. SATA cable

Explanation:

A troubleshooting process could be as follows:

  1. <em>The Power supply</em> is working since it is possible to receive the <em>error message</em>.
  2. With no <em>OS available</em> is not possible to 'roll back the Windows update'.

Then, two alternatives remain:

  1. SATA cable.
  2. Hard drive.

In the reliability configuration of the components, <em>the hard drive depends on the SATA cable to work properly. </em>A faulty SATA cable would prevent the hard drive to work correctly. Then,<em> </em>a loosely SATA cable is the first thing to check before proceeding with the hard disk.

Additionally, a loosely SATA cable is also a common source of error messages like "OS not found" and it would be easier step to be discarded before continuing with a more demanding one like checking the hard drive.
