How much money would be saved by turning off one 100.0-W lightbulb 3.0 h/day for 365 days if the
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

the money that would be saved is $13.14.

Explanation:

Given;

power consumed by the light bulb, P = 100 W = 0.1 kW

time of running the bulb, t = 3 hours for 365 days = 1,095 hours

cost rate of power consumption, C = $0.12 per kWh

Energy consumed by the light bulb for the given days;

E = Pt

E = 0.1 kW  x 1,095 hr

E = 109.5 kWh

Cost of energy consumed = 109.5 kWh   x   $0.12 / kWh

                                            = $13.14

Therefore, the money that would be saved is $13.14.

Object a travels in the +x-direction before hitting a stationary object
Leto [7]
The object’s resultant angle of motion with the +x-axis after the collision is 47°

<span>From object A:
 
1) x-momentum is 5.7 × 10^4 kilogram meters/second,
2) y-momentum is 6.2 × 10^4 kilogram meters/second.
 
Now, we know, tan</span>Ф = \frac{y}{x}

⇒tanФ = \frac{6.2 × 10^4 }{5.7 × 10^4}

⇒tanФ = 1.088

⇒ Ф = tan^{-1} 1.088 
         =  47.4 ≈ 47

A young child is playing with a very flexible hose. She is moving her hand back and forth making transverse type waves. She move
aev [14]

Answer:

The waves will increase in frequency

Explanation:

As the young girl moves her hand back and forth faster, it will be observed that number of back and forth motions increase every second. Also the distance between crest and trough of the wave (wavelength) will be reduced as she moves her hand back and forth faster.

Frequency = number of turns (moves) per second

The waves will increase in frequency since there will be more number of back and forth motions in every second.

Also,

The distance between crest and trough will be reduced, which implies that there will be decrease in waves wavelength.

This can also be verified using wave equation;

V = Fλ

At constant velocity,

F ∝ ¹/λ

Thus, decrease in wavelength will cause increase in frequency of the waves.

The right answer is : The waves will increase in frequency
