. A circulating pump consumes 450 W for 24 hr a day. a. Determine the energy consumed for a one-year period. b. Calculate the ut

ility energy charges for this period at a rate of $0.12/kWh. c. Determine the energy saved for a one-year period, if the pump is switched off 8 hr a day. d. Calculate the energy cost savings for this period at a rate of $0.12/kWh, if the pump is switched off 8 hr a day.

Answer:

a. 3942 kWh

b. $473.04

c. 1314 kWh

d. $157.68

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>a. </h3>

There are 1000 W in 1 kW, so 450 W = 0.450 kW. The energy used per day is ...

(0.45 kW)(24 h) = 10.8 kWh . . . . energy per day

Then in a 365-day year, the energy used is

(365 da/yr)(10.8 kWh/da) = 3942 kWh/yr

__

<h3>b.</h3>

At the rate of $0.12/kWh, the cost of running the pump is ...

($0.12/kWh)(3942 kWh/yr) = $473.04/yr

__

<h3>c.</h3>

Switching the pump off for 1/3 of the time will save 1/3 of the energy found in part (a):

1/3(3942 kWh) = 1314 kWh . . . . energy saved by switching off the pump

__

<h3>d.</h3>

The savings will be 1/3 of the cost of running the pump full time:

1/3($473.04/yr) = $157.68/yr

the formula used to find the area of a triangle is A= 1/2bh, where is A of the triangle, b is the length of the base of the tria

aliya0001 [1]

If you are doing a literal equation all you have to do is isolate the h.
First get rid of the fraction by multiplying both sides by 2.
2a=bh
Then divide both sides by b.
2a/b=h
Hope this helps!

Two cars travel at the same speed to different destinations. Car A reaches its destination in 17 minutes. Car B reaches its dest

Goryan [66]

Answer:

speed of car A =Speed of car B=0.8 miles/minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that speed of car A is equal to speed of car B.

Also let car A travels x miles.

and car B travels y miles.

Car A reaches its destination in 17 minutes.

this means that speed of car A is given by: $\dfrac{x}{17}$ miles/minutes ( since speed is defined as the ratio of distance and time).

Car B reaches its destination in 32 minutes.

This means that the speed of car B is given by: $\dfrac{y}{32}$ miles/minutes

as speed of both cars are equal this means:

$\dfrac{x}{17}=\dfrac{y}{32}$ ------(1)

Also we are given Car B travels 12 miles farther than Car A.

this means $y-x=12$

$y=12+x$ ------(2)

on using equation (1) and (2) we have:

$\dfrac{x}{17}=\dfrac{12+x}{32}\\ \\32x=17(12+x)\\\\32x=17\times12+17x\\\\32x-17x=17\times12\\\\15x=122\times17\\\\x=13.6$

Hence the speed of car A is 0.8 miles/minutes ( since x/17 is the speed of car A)

Speed of car B=0.8 miles/minutes.
