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

A high diver dives into a swimming pool. His potential energy at the top is 10,000 J (relative to the surface of the pool). What
Semmy [17]

Answer:

Kinetic energy of diver at 90% of the distance to the water is 9000 J

Explanation:

Let d is the distance between the position of the diver and surface of the pool.

Initially, the diver is at rest and only have potential energy which is equal to 10000 J.

As the diver dives towards the pool, its potential energy is converting into kinetic energy due to law of conservation of energy, as total energy of the system remains same.

Energy before diving = Energy during diving

(Potential Energy + Kinetic Energy) =  (Kinetic Energy +  Potential Energy)

When the diver reaches 90% of the distance to the water, its kinetic energy

is 90% to its initial potential energy, as its initial kinetic is zero,i.e.,

K.E. = \frac{90}{100}\times10000

K.E. = 9000 J
