Answer:

Cost = 165.6 cents = $1.656

Explanation:

First, we will calculate the total energy consumed by the bulb in a month:

E=Pt\\

where,

E = Energy Consumed = ?

P = power = 23 W

t = time = (1 month)(30 days/1 month)(24 h/1 day) = 720 h

Therefore,

E = (23\ W)(720\ h)\\E = 16560\ Wh = 16.56\ Kilowatt-hour

Now, the cost will be:

Cost = P(Unit\ Cost)\\Cost = (16.56\ kilowatt-hour)(10\ cents/kilowatt-hour)

<u>Cost = 165.6 cents = $1.656</u>

What is static friction?​
givi [52]

Answer:

Plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz brainliest

Explanation:

In static friction, the frictional force resists force that is applied to an object, and the object remains at rest until the force of static friction is overcome. In kinetic friction, the frictional force resists the motion of an object. ... The frictional force itself is directed oppositely to the motion of the object.

Could I please get some help on this question I don’t understand .
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

12.5 m/s

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Height (h) = 8 m

Final velocity (v) at 8 m above the lowest point =?

NOTE: Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

The velocity of the roller coaster at 8 m above the lowest point can be obtained as follow:

v² = u² + 2gh

v² = 0² + (2 × 9.8 × 8)

v² = 0 + 156.8

v² = 156.8

Take the square root of both side

v = √156.8

v = 12.5 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the roller coaster at 8 m above the lowest point is 12.5 m/s.

When sunlight strikes oil on the surface of water a variety of colors are observed what is the best explanation for this observa
klio [65]
Light waves are reflected from front and back surfaces of the thin films and constructive interference between the two reflected waves occurs in different places for different wavelengths. Light shining on the upper surface of the thin film with thickness t is partly reflected at the upper surface (path abc). Light transmitted from the upper surface is partly reflected at the lower surface (path abdef). The two reflected waves come together at point P on the retina of the eye. Depending on the phase relationship, they may interfere constructively or destructively. Different colors have different wavelengths, so the interference may be constructive for some colors and destructive for others.
