A lightbulb has a power of 100 W and is used for 4 hours. A microwave has a power of 1200 W and is used for 5 minutes. How much

energy is used by the lightbulb? How much energy is used by the microwave? The lightbulb has an efficiency of 1.8%. How much heat energy does the lightbulb produce in 4 hours?

Answer:

a. E=1440KJ

b. E=360KJ

c. E=1.8 J

Explanation:

I have the power (Watts) is expressed as Energy (Joules) / Time (seconds), also I have to1hour * \frac{60min}{1hour}*\frac{60s}{1min}\\1h=3600s

so, for the lightbulb

100W= \frac{Energy}{3600s*4}\\Energy=100W*14400s\\ E=1440000J =1440KJ

Analogously, for the microwave

1200W= \frac{Energy}{60s*5}\\Energy=1200W*300s\\ E=360000J =360KJ

Now, I have to express the efficiency as Heat energy / power * 100 so1.8= \frac{Heat Energy}{100W}*100\\Heat Energy=1.8J

Done

exis [7]
The question for this problem would be the minimum headphone delay, in ms, that will cancel this noise.
The 200 Hz. period = (1/200) = 0.005 sec. It will need to be delayed by 1/2, so 0.005/2, that is = 0.0025 sec. So converting sec to ms, will give us the delay of:Delay = 2.5 ms.

You plan to take your hair blower to europe, where the electrical outlets put out 240 v instead of the 120 v seen in the united
Dmitrij [34]
P = U × I
I = P / U = 1600W / 120V = 13.4A
P = 240V × 13.4A = 3216W

If your hair blower isnt rated for 220- 230V(this is the voltage in EU) you are most likely going to burn it.

How is the temperature of a gas related to the kinetic energy of its particles
love history [14]

The average kinetic energy of a gas particle is directly proportional to the temperature. An increase in temperature increases the speed in which the gas molecules move. All gases at a given temperature have the same average kinetic energy. Lighter gas molecules move faster than heavier molecules.
