In a certain city, electricity costs $0.17 per kW·h. What is the annual cost for electricity to power a lamp-post for 5.50 hours

Anon25 [30]

Answer:

(a) = $34.123

(b) = $8.532

(c) Additional cost of fluorescent bulb is justified

Explanation:

Cost of electricity = $0.17 per kW·h

(a) For a 100 watt bulb which is the same as 100/1000 or 0.1 kW, the cost per hour =

0.1 × 0.17 = $0.017/h

and for 5.5 hours = 0.017×5.5 = $0.0935

The annual cost, which is 365 days, we have

Annual cost = $0.0935 × 365 = $34.123

(b) For the energy efficient 25-watt bulb, we have

25/1000 = 0.025kW

Power cost per annum =

0.025kW×$0.17 per kW·h×5.5×365 = $8.532

(c) Total cost of incandescent bulb = $0.89 total cost of using the incandescent bulb is $34.123 + $0.89 = $35.02

Total cost of using the energy efficient fluorescent bulb is about $3.49

Total cost of using the energy efficient bulb = $8.532 + $3.49 = $12.02

Total cost of incandescent bulb = $35.02 while total cost of energy efficient bulb is = $12.02

$12.02 <$35.02

Additional cost of fluorescent bulb is justified

vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

The correct answer is - option D. photosynthesis.

Explanation:

It is shown by the study that most of the atmospheric oxygen comes from the photosynthesis by plants as oxygen is the byproduct of the photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process that uses light energy, carbon dioxide, and water to produce food or glucose/sugar and release oxygen as the byproduct.

Many scientists believe that oceanic phytoplankton that releases oxygen by the photosynthesis process makes 80 to 85% of the total oxygen of the atmospheric oxygen.
