Answer 1
Answer: The '120-V' is what we in the engineering profession call a "red herring".
You don't need it to solve the problem.  The answer would be the same
if the blow drier were operating from a 440-V outlet, or any other kind
(just as long as the blow drier is designed to operate on whatever voltage
it was plugged into.)

Power = 750-W = 0.75 kW
Time = 13 minutes = 13/60 of an hour
Energy = (power) x (time) = (0.75 kW) x (13/60 of an hour) = 0.1625 kWh

Cost per unit of energy = $ 0.1 per kWh
Total cost = (energy) x (cost per unit of energy)

Total cost = (0.1625 kWh) x ($ 0.1 per kWh) = $ 0.01625 = 1.625 cents
===============================

The other answer has his significant figures correct, but shows what happens
when you don't carry your units all the way through.
Answer 2
Answer: 750W=0.75 kW\n \n 0.75*(13)/(60)=0.1625 \ kWh\n \n \boxed{0.1625*0.10=\$ \ 0.1625}

Choose the best answer for each situation. A scientist with the EPA examining water for contamination writes down that there was an iridescent sheen on the surface of the water. What type of data did the scientist record?

Answers

The scientist has written down and example of qualitative data. Since he specifically wrote down that there was an iridescent sheen on the surface of the water, he is writing down the quality of water as seen by him. The type or condition cannot be expressed numerically, which makes it a qualitative type of data.

Answer:

Buoyancy or Upthrust

Explanation:

This is an upward force exerted by a fluid that opposes the weight of a partially or fully immersed object.

What is the temperature 32 degrees Fahrenheit in degrees Celsius?a. 20 degrees Celsius
b. 0 degrees Celsius
c. 10 degrees Celsius
d. 10 degrees Celsius

Answers

Using    (F - 32)/9  =  C/5
Where F is Fahrenheit,  C = Celsius.

Let F = 32,    (32 - 32)/9  =  C/5
                           0/9      =    C/5
                            0  =  C/5,            therefore  C =  0*5 = 0

32°F =    0°C

Answer:so that means the answer 32°F =    0°C

Explanation:

Using    (F - 32)/9  =  C/5

Where F is Fahrenheit,  C = Celsius.

Let F = 32,    (32 - 32)/9  =  C/5

                          0/9      =    C/5

                           0  =  C/5,            therefore  C =  0*5 = 0

32°F =    0°C
