Answer:

The total energy saving achieved will be 0.8 KWH

Explanation:

It is provided that there are 50 long light bulbs rated at 100 W, thus the total power consumed by 50 bulbs equals 100×50 = 5000 W = 5 KW

Additionally, 30 bulbs are rated at 60 W

Consequently, the total power consumption of 30 bulbs is 30×60 = 1800 W = 1.8 KW

The cumulative power of all 80 bulbs is 1.8 + 5 = 6.8 KW

Considering the operation time of 3 hours

We know that energy E=power\times time=6.8\times 3=20.4KWH

Now, the power consumption per CFL bulb equals 25 W

Thus for 80 bulbs, power equals 80×25 = 2000 W = 2 KW

So the energy for 80 bulbs amounts to 2×3 = 6 KWH

Hence, the overall energy saving is 6.8 - 6 = 0.8 KWH

A plane monochromatic radio wave (λ = 0.3 m) travels in vacuum along the positive x-axis, with a time-averaged intensity I = 45
serg [3477]
The magnetic field is calculated to be -6.137 × T. Explanation: Given the radio wave wavelength of λ = 0.3 m and an intensity of I = 45 W/m² at times t = 0 and t = 1.5 ns, we determine Bz at the origin. We use the intensity formula relating to the electric field, which incorporates the known intensity of 45, the speed of light c = 3 × m/s², and ∈o as 8.85 × C²/N.m², leading us to E = 184.15. Consequently, applying the equations, we find B = -6.137 × T at the z-axis.

A 0.050-kg lump of clay moving horizontally at 12 m/s strikes and sticks to a stationary 0.15-kg cart that can move on a frictio
Ostrovityanka [3070]

Answer:

Explanation:

According to the parameters provided,

mass of the clay lump, m₁ = 0.05 kg

initial velocity of the lump, u₁ = 12 m/s

mass of the cart, m₂ = 0.15 kg

initial speed of the cart, u₂ = 0

As the clay adheres to the cart, we have an inelastic collision scenario. Let v represent the combined speed of both the cart and lump post-collision. Given that momentum is conserved, we have:

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=(m_1+m_2)v

v=\dfrac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2}{(m_1+m_2)}

v=\dfrac{0.05\ kg\times 12\ m/s+0}{0.05\ kg+0.15\ kg}

The resultant speed is v = 3 m/s.

Thus, the final speed of both cart and lump following the collision is 3 m/s. This concludes the solution.

A person who climbs up something (e.g., a hill, a ladder, the stairs) from the ground gains potential energy. a person's weight
kicyunya [3158]

The following values have been provided:

weight w = 240 lb = 1,067.52 N

energy E = 3,000 J

 

The equation for potential energy is:

E = w h

where h indicates the height that the person needs to ascend, therefore:

h = 3000 / 1067.52

h = 2.81 m

A long cylindrical rod of diameter 200 mm with thermal conductivity of 0.5 W/m⋅K experiences uniform volumetric heat generation
Ostrovityanka [3070]

Answer:

a, 71.8° C, 51° C

b, 191.8° C

Explanation:

Given the data:

D(i) = 200 mm

D(o) = 400 mm

q' = 24000 W/m³

k(r) = 0.5 W/m.K

k(s) = 4 W/m.K

k(h) = 25 W/m².K

The heat generation formula can be articulated as follows:

q = πr²Lq'

q = π. 0.1². L. 24000

q = 754L W/m

Thermal conduction resistance, R(cond) = 0.0276/L

Thermal conduction resistance, R(conv) = 0.0318/L

Applying the energy balance equation,

Energy In = Energy Out

This equates to q, which is 754L

From the initial analysis, the temperature at the interface between the rod and sleeve is found to be 71.8° C

Additionally, the outer surface temperature records as 51° C

Furthermore, based on the second analysis, the calculated temperature at the center of the rod is determined to be 191.8° C

A communications satellite orbiting the earth has solar panels that completely absorb all sunlight incident upon them. The total
Ostrovityanka [3070]

Answer:

0.000047N

Explanation:

We know that

intensity (I) = P/ A

Where

P= power

A= Area

Thus, the power absorbed can be calculated as:

Power = Intensity x Area

This equals = 1.4 x 10^3 x(10)

Thus,

14000 Watts = 14 kWatt

However, the radiation pressure can be defined as

time-averaged intensity divided by the speed of light in a vacuum

So,

P = (1.4 x 1000)/c

Also,

F= P x A

Thus,

((1.4 x 1000)/(3 x10^8)) x 10

This results in

=0.000046666N

Rounded to two significant figures gives us

=0.000047 N
