Answer:

<em>Answer: B. $0.78.</em>

Explanation:

<u>Cost of Electricity </u>

The rate of the cost of electricity is usually expressed in $/kWh or cents/kWh because the consumption of electricity is measured in Kilowatts-hour.

The local power company charges 5.79 cents/kWh.

We are required to calculate the cost to run a 120 W stereo system for 4 hours per day for 4 weeks.

The total consumption time is 4 hours/day * 7 days/week *4 weeks = 112 hours

The total energy consumed is 120 W * 112 h =13,440 Wh.

Converting to kWh: 13,440 Wh/1,000 = 13.440 kWh.

Finally, we multiply by the cost rate: 5.79 cents/kWh * 13.440 kWh = 77.8 cents/100 = $0.78.

Answer: B. $0.78.

Answer:

a)   I = 1,894 10¹⁰ W / m², b)  E = 1.376 10⁵ N / C

Explanation:

a) intensity is defined as energy per unit area per unit time

          I = P / A

let's reduce the magnitudes to the SI system

         P = 10 mW = 10 10⁻³ W

         d = 0.82 μm = 0.82 10⁻⁶ m

the laser area is

         A =π r² = π d²/4

         A =π (0.82 10⁻⁶)²/4

         A = 5.28 10⁻¹³ m²

we calculate

          I = \frac{10 \ 10^{-3}}{5.28 \ 10^{-13}}

          I = 1,894 10¹⁰ W / m²

b) average intensity and electric field are related

          I = E * E

          E = √I

          E = \sqrt{1.894 \ 10^{10}}

          E = 1.376 10⁵ N / C

On planet X, an object weighs 7.04 N. Onplanet B where the magnitude of the free-fallacceleration is 1.91g(whereg= 9.8 m/s2isthe
timurjin [86]
<h2>Mass of object in Earth is 1.37 kg</h2>

Explanation:

On planet B where the magnitude of the free-fall acceleration is 1.91g , the object weighs 25.74 N.

We have

           Weight = Mass x Acceleration due to gravity

On planet B

           25.74 = Mass x 1.91 g

           25.74 = Mass x 1.91 x 9.81

           Mass = 1.37 kg

Mass is constant for an object. It will not change with location.

Mass of object in Earth = Mass of object in Planet B

Mass of object in Earth = 1.37 kg

A 74-kg boy is surfing and catches a wave which gives him an initial speed of 1.6 m/s. He then drops through a height of 1.56 m,
Reptile [31]

Answer:

Work done, W = 1.44 kJ

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of boy, m = 74 kg

Initial speed of boy, u = 1.6 m/s

The boy then drops through a height of 1.56 m

Final speed of boy, v = 8.5 m/s

To find,

Non-conservative work was done on the boy.

Solution,

The work done by the non conservative forces is equal to the sum of total change in kinetic energy and total change in potential energy.

W=\dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)+(0-mgh)

W=\dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)-mgh

W=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 74\times (8.5^2-1.6^2)-74\times 9.8\times 1.56

W = 1447.21 Joules

or

W = 1.44 kJ

Therefore, the non conservative work done on the boy is 1.44 kJ.

Question: An increased number of rod cells increase the ability to see, A. during the day B. at night C. underwater or D. colors
Fynjy0 [20]
B- at night

In eyes of the humans, and many other animals there are two types of receptors, the rods, and the cones. The cones have an important role in color vision and they possess different types of pigment which enable color vision.
On the other hand, the rods are more sensitive to light, and they are responsible for black and white vision.
Therefore, an increase in the number of rods can enable the animal to see betther in the dark.
