Answer:

the cost of operating the light bulb is 72 cents.

Explanation:

Given;

cost of electricity, C = 6 cents / kW.h

power of light bulb, P = 100 W

time of light power consumption, t = 4 hours per day for 30 days

total time = 4 hours x 30 = 120 hours

Power consumed by the light bulb is calculated as;

P = 100 x 120 = 12000 w.h = 12 kW.h

Cost of power consumption = 6 cents/kWh x 12 kWh

= 72 cents

Therefore, the cost of operating the light bulb is 72 cents.

Let the displacement function of a particle is x(t)=(20t^2-15t+200). Find the total displacement, instantaneous velocity and ins

irga5000 [103]

Answer:

A.) 39.5 m

B.) 0

C.) 60m/s^2

Explanation:

Given that a displacement function of a particle is x(t)=(20t^2-15t+200).

To Find the total displacement,

Reduce everything by dividing them by 5

X(t) = 4t^2 - 3t + 40 ...... (1)

For instantaneous velocity, differentiate x(t). That is,

dy/dt = 60t - 15 ...... (2)

But dy/dt = velocity.

If dy/dt = 0, then

60t - 15 = 0

60t = 15

t = 15/60

t = 0.25s

Substitutes t in equation (1)

Total displacement will be

X(t) = 4(0.25)^2 - 3(0.25) + 40

X(t) = 0.25 - 0.75 + 40

Total displacement = 39.5 m

To calculate instantaneous velocity, substitute t into equation (2)

V = 60 (0.25) - 15

V = 0.

and to find instantaneous acceleration, differentiate dv/dt

dv/dt = 60

Therefore, acceleration = 60 m/s^2

Which of the following planets rotates in the opposite direction than the other planets? Venus Neptune Saturn Uranus

pogonyaev

Hello,

The answer is option A "Venus".

Reason:

The planet Venus spins the wrong way many scientists are not sure why. Its not options B, C, or D because these planets spin the same way the as each other. (besides Venus) Therefore the answer is option A.

If you need anymore help feel free to ask me!

Hope this helps!

The coefficient of friction is missing and it has a value of μ = 0.4

Answer:

a = 3.924 m/s²

Explanation:

I've attached the kinematic free body diagram.

Taking the sum of all upward and downward forces,

EFy = 0;

N1 + N2 - m_p•g - m_v•g = 0

N1 + N2 = m_p•g + m_v•g

Where;

N1 and N2 are the normal reactions at the wheels

m_p is the mass of the driver

m_v is the mass of the vehicle

g is the acceleration due to gravity.

Plugging in the relevant values in the question,we obtain;

N1 + N2 = (385 + 75) x 9.81

N1 + N2 = 4512.6N - - - (eq1)

Now, taking sum of all horizontal forces;

EFx = (m_p + m_v) x a

So,

μ(N1 + N2) = (mp + mv) x a

Thus,

0.4(N1 + N2) = (385 + 75)a

0.4(N1 + N2) = 460a

N1 + N2 = 1150a

From eq(1),N1 + N2 = 4512.6N

Thus,

1150a = 4512.6N

a = 4512.6/1150

a = 3.924 m/s²

Therefore, the acceleration, a = 3.924 m/s²
