Answer:

Monthly energy cost = $47.52

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Voltage = 120 Volts

Current = 8 Ampere

Time = 15 hours

Energy cost = $0.11/KWh

To find the energy cost for a month;

First of all, we would determine the power rating of the microwave oven.

Power = current * voltage

Power = 8 * 120

Power = 960 Watts

Next, we find the amount of energy consumed;

Energy = power * time

Energy = 960 * 15

Energy = 14400 Watt-hour

To kilowatt per hour, we have;

Energy = 14400/1000 = 14.4 KWh

Now, we determine the monthly energy cost;

Daily energy cost = Energy consumption * cost

Daily energy cost = 14.4 * 0.11

Daily energy cost = $1.584

Therefore, monthly energy cost = 1.584 * 30

Monthly energy cost = $47.52

Or

Monthly energy cost = 14.4 * 0.11 * 30

Monthly energy cost = $47.52

What is the magnitude of the resultant of a 7.0-N force acting vertically upward and a 5.0-N force acting horizontally.
irakobra [83]

Answer:

Resultant force = 8.6N

Explanation:

Using Pythogorus' theorem

{a}^{2}  +  {b}^{2}  =  {c }^{2}  \\  {7}^{2}  +  {5}^{2}  =  {r}^{2} \\ 49 + 25 =  {r}^{2}  \\ 74 =  {r}^{2}  \\   \sqrt{74}  =   \sqrt{ {r }^{2} }  \\ 8.6 = r \\

Resultant force = 8.6N

QUESTION 1 Linear Motion
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

48.51ms / 174.6 km/h

Explanation:

y = 1/2 x g x t^2         v = g x t          

when y = 120m

120 = 1/2 x 9.8 x t^2

t^2 = 24.49

t = 4.95s

when t = 4.95s

v = 9.8 x 4.95

v = 48.51 m/s = 174.6 km/h

I'd say its realistic. But I don't really know that sry

A ball with a mass of 3.1 kg is moving in a uniform circular motion upon a horizontal surface. The ball is attached at the cente
inessss [21]

Answer:

3.46 seconds

Explanation:

Since the ball is moving in circular motion thus centripetal force will be acting there along the rope.

The equation for the centripetal force is as follows -

F=\frac{mv^2}{r}

Where, m is the mass of the ball, v is the speed and r is the radius of the circular path which will be equal to the length of the rope.

This centripetal force will be equal to the tension in the string and thus we can write,

20.4 = \frac{3.1\times v^2}{2}

and, v^2 = 13.16

Thus, v = 3.63 m/s.

Now, the total length of circular path = circumference of the circle

Thus, total path length = 2πr = 2 × 3.14 × 2 = 12.56 m

Time taken to complete one revolution = \frac{\text {Path length} }{\text {Speed}} = \frac{12.56}{3.63} = 3.46 seconds.

Thus, the mass will complete one revolution in 3.46 seconds.

Charles' law explains which of these phenomena?
Luden [163]
I think the correct answer would be that Charles' law explains why <span>a balloon deflates when the air around it cools. Charles' law is a simplification of the ideal gas law. At constant pressure,  volume and temperature have a direct relationship. Hope this helps.</span>
