A refrigerator having a power rating of 350W operates for 12 hours a day. calculate the cost of electrical energy to operate it

for 30 days. the rate of electrical energy is rs4.50 per kWh. calculate the minimum fuse rating to be put in the refrigerator circuit if the supply voltage is 240V.

Answer:

See the answers below.

Explanation:

The cost of energy can be calculated by multiplying each given value, a dimensional analysis must be taken into account in order to calculate the total value of the cost in Rs.

$Cost=0.350[kW]*12[\frac{hr}{1day}]*30[days]*4.5[\frac{Rs}{kW*hr} ]=567[Rs]$

The fuse can be calculated by knowing the amperage.

$P=V*I$

where:

P = power = 350 [W]

V = voltage = 240 [V]

I = amperage [amp]

Now clearing I from the equation above:

$I=P/V\\I=350/240\\I=1.458[amp]$

The fuse should be larger than the current of the circuit, i.e. about 2 [amp]

$x(t)=at$

$y(t)=3-$ β $t^2$

$Vx(t)=$ α

Sunspots appear dark because they are cooler than the surrounding solar surface. True or false

DiKsa [7]

Answer:

False, Sunspots appear dark (in visible light) due to their low temperature(cooler) than rest of the sun

Explanation:

Sunspots appear dark because they are much cooler( have low temperature than the rest of the surface contained by Sun. As they appear dark, but still they have very temperature that's why so hot. Sunspots have temperatures ranges 3,500 Celsius (3773 kelvin) and the surrounding surface of the sun has a temperature much higher of about 5,500 Celsius(5773 Kelvin). Even if we see a sunspot alone in space, it will glow so brightly.

An 8.5 kg crate is pulled 5.1 m up a 30 degree incline by a rope angled 17 degrees above the incline. The tension in the rope is

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

1. a $W_t=746.63 J$

b $E_p=212.415 J$

c $W_n=183.96J$

2. $T_e=99.71J$

Explanation:

a). The work done by the tension is:

$W_t=T*dt$

$dt=\frac{5.1}{cos(17)}$

$W_t=140N*\frac{5.1}{cos(17)}$

$W_t=746.63 J$

b). The work done potential of gravity

$E_p=m*g*h$

$h=5.1*sin(17)$

$E_p=8.5kh*9.8*5.1*sin(30)$

$E_p=212.415 J$

c). The work done by the normal force

$W_n=N*d_n$

$d_n=5.1*sin(30)=2.55$

$W_n=8.5kg*9.8*cos(30)*2.55$

$W_n=183.96J$

2. The increase in thermal energy is:

$T_e=F*d$

$F_k=u_k*m*g=0.271*8.5kg*9.8*cos(30)$

$F_k=19.5N$

$T_e=19.55*5.1m$

$T_e=99.71J$
