A central air-conditioner uses 3500W of electricity. If electricity costs $0.087/kW*h. calculate how much it would cost to operate the air-conditioner 24 hours a day for 4 months (120 days).

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

$876.96

Explanation:

The energy used is:

3500 W × (24 hr/day) × (120 day) × (1 kW / 1000 W) = 10,080 kWh.

So the cost is:

10,080 kWh × ($0.087 / kWh) = $876.96

A bus slams on its breaks and goes from 30 km/hr to 15km/hr in 4 seconds. What is its acceleration?

Answers


Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change).

Change in speed = (15 - 30) = -15 km/hr
Time for the change = 4 sec

Acceleration = (-15 km/hr) / (4 sec) = -3.75 km/hr per second .

Is that a lot ?  Not much ?

Let's convert it to a unit that we can think about:

     (-15 km/hr) x (1,000 m/km) x (1 hr / 3,600 sec) =

           (-15 x 1,000) / (3,600)  =  -(4 and 1/6) m/sec .

So the acceleration of the bus is    -(4 and 1/6) m/sec² .

The negative sign means that it slowed down.

(4 and 1/6) m/sec²  is about  42%  of the acceleration of gravity ...
the acceleration the bus would have if it drove off of a cliff.

When the car or the bus you're riding in slows down at that rate,
you feel  42%  of your weight pulling you forward against your
seat belt.  That's quite a drastic acceleration !

What is the highest degrees above the horizon the moon ever gets during the year in the Yakima Valley ?

Answers


The trickiest part of this problem was making sure where the Yakima Valley is.
OK so it's generally around the city of the same name in Washington State.

Just for a place to work with, I picked the Yakima Valley Junior College, at the
corner of W Nob Hill Blvd and S16th Ave in Yakima.  The latitude in the middle
of that intersection is 46.585° North.  That's the number we need.

Here's how I would do it:

-- The altitude of the due-south point on the celestial equator is always
(90° - latitude), no matter what the date or time of day.

-- The highest above the celestial equator that the ecliptic ever gets
is about 23.5°. 

-- The mean inclination of the moon's orbit to the ecliptic is 5.14°, so
that's the highest above the ecliptic that the moon can ever appear
in the sky.

This sets the limit of the highest in the sky that the moon can ever appear.

90° - 46.585° + 23.5° + 5.14° = 72.1° above the horizon .

That doesn't happen regularly.  It would depend on everything coming
together at the same time ... the moon happens to be at the point in its
orbit that's 5.14° above ==> (the point on the ecliptic that's 23.5° above
the celestial equator).

Depending on the time of year, that can be any time of the day or night.

The most striking combination is at midnight, within a day or two of the
Winter solstice, when the moon happens to be full.

In general, the Full Moon closest to the Winter solstice is going to be
the moon highest in the sky.  Then it's going to be somewhere near
67° above the horizon at midnight.

Please help hurry. It’s time.

Answer: a

Explanation: Hope it helps

Answer:

A

Explanation:

I think its a because A would be heavier making it go down faster than B. its like when you drop a father compared to a ball, the feather is lighter so it will go down slower than the ball because it has more mass

What is the difference between transverse and longitudinal waves? Transverse waves always travel at smaller speeds than do longitudinal waves. In a transverse wave the disturbance always occurs perpendicular to the direction in which the wave travels, whereas in a longitudinal wave the disturbance always occurs parallel to the line of travel of the wave. Transverse waves always carry more energy than do longitudinal waves. In a transverse wave the disturbance always occurs parallel to the line of travel of the wave, whereas in a longitudinal wave the disturbance always occurs perpendicular to the direction in which the wave travels. Transverse waves always have greater frequencies than do longitudinal waves.

in transverse wave the disturbance always occur perpendicularto the direction. in wich the wave travels. where as longitudinal wava is disturbance always occur parallel to the direction in wich the wave travels.

ICl has a higher boiling point than Br2. What is the best explanation for this?

Answers

Iodine Monochloride (ICI) is an interhalogen or compound. ICI has an intermolecular attraction which makes it more difficult to boil compare to Bromine (Br2). Brorime is among the halogens along with fluorine, chlorine, iodine and astatine. Bromine is a nonpolar substance while ICI is a polar compound.
