A university campus has 200 classrooms and 400 faculty offices. The classrooms are equipped with 12 fluorescent tubes, each cons

uming 110 W, including the electricity used by the ballasts. The faculty offices, on average, have half as many tubes. The campus is open 240 days a year. The classrooms and faculty offices are not occupied for an average of 4 h a day, but the lights are kept on. If the unit cost of electricity is $0.115/kWh, determine how much the campus will save a year if the lights in the classrooms and faculty offices are turned off during unoccupied periods.

Answer: The campus would save

$218.04.

Explanation: Total number of flourescent tubes in classroom is 12 and office is 6. The Electric Power consume by a single tube is 110W.

But,

Energy = Power * Time

For classroom energy consumed in a day that is 24hours would be

Energy = 12*110*24 = 31.7kwh

For office,

Energy = 6*110*24= 15.8kwh

Total Energy consumed at the campus for 24hrs{a full day} will be

Total Energy = 31.7kwh + 15.8kwh

= 47.5kwh.

In a year of activities at the campus given as 240days,

Energy consumed= 47.5kwh * 240

= 11400kwh.

The cost of 1kwh from the question is $0.115.

11400kwh will cost; 11400*$0.115

=$1,311

If the florescent tube are switched off for the 4hrs in a day the campus is not on session. Then we will have just 20hrs of usage in a day. So let's calculate;

Classroom,

Energy = 12*110*20= 26.4kwh

Faculty office,

Energy consumed = 6*110*20

= 13.2kwh

Total energy consumed in a day {20hrs}

= 26.4kwh + 13.2kwh= 39.6kwh.

In a year of activities at the campus given as 240days

Total Energy consumption would be

{39.6*240}kwh= 9504kwh.

The cost of 1kwh of electricity is $0.115.

Therefore, 9504kwh will cost;

$0.115 * 9504 = $1092.96.

This is more cheaper compared the the first one we calculated for 24hrs in a day.

So the campus will save;

$1,311 - $1092.96 = $218.04.

Which is the cost of energy of putting ON the flourescent tubes for 24hrs in a day minus the cost of putting them ON for just 20hrs in a day.

Vlada [557]

A.

Gases do not have a definite volume.

Explanation:

This observation suggests that the gases do not have a definite volume. Gases moves randomly and will expand to take up the shape of containers they are introduced into.

  • The particles of a gas are very far apart.
  • They are held together by very weak attractive forces
  • Gases are random and they frequently collide with one another and the walls of the containers they are put into.
  • They have no fixed volumes

Write the equivalent formulas for velocity, acceleration, and force using the relationships covered for UCM, Newton’s Laws, and
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

The newton’s second law is F=ma

The Gravitational force is F=\dfrac{Gm_{1}m_{2}}{r^2}

Explanation:

Given that,

The equivalent formulas for velocity, acceleration, and force using the relationships covered for UCM, Newton’s Laws, and Gravitation.

We know that,

Velocity :

The velocity is equal to the rate of position of the object.

v=\dfrac{dx}{dt}....(I)

Acceleration :

The acceleration is equal to the rate of velocity of the object.

a=\dfrac{dv}{dt}....(II)

Newton’s second Laws

The force is equal to the change in momentum.

In mathematically,

F=\dfrac{d(p)}{dt}

Put the value of p

F=\dfrac{d(mv)}{dt}

F=m\dfrac{dv}{dt}

Put the value from equation (II)

F=ma

This is newton’s second laws.

Gravitational force :

The force is equal to the product of mass of objects and divided by square of distance.

In mathematically,

F=\dfrac{Gm_{1}m_{2}}{r^2}

Where, m₁₂ = mass of first object

m= mass of second object

r = distance between both objects

Hence, The newton’s second law is F=ma

The Gravitational force is F=\dfrac{Gm_{1}m_{2}}{r^2}

Biologists have studied the running ability of the northern quoll, a marsupial indigenous to Australia. In one set of experiment
Dominik [7]

Answer:

\mu=0.74            

Explanation:

It is given that,

Speed of one quoll around a curve, v = 3.2 m/s (maximum speed)

Radius of the curve, r = 1.4 m

On the curve, the centripetal force is balanced by the frictional force such that the coefficient of frictional is given by :

\mu=\dfrac{v^2}{rg}

\mu=\dfrac{(3.2\ m/s)^2}{1.4\ m\times 9.8\ m/s^2}

\mu=0.74

So, the coefficient of static friction between the quoll's feet and the ground in this trial is 0.74. Hence, this is the required solution.

What is the equation describing the motion of a mass on the end of a spring which is stretched 8.8 cm from equilibrium and then
Darya [45]

Answer:

y = -8.37 cm

Explanation:

As we know that the equation of SHM is given as

y = A cos(\omega t)

here we know that

\omega = \frac{2\pi}{T}

here we have

T = 0.66 s

now we have

\omega = \frac{2\pi}{0.66}

\omega = 3\pi

now we have

y = (8.8 cm) cos(3\pi t)

now at t = 2.3 s we have

y = (8.8 cm) cos(3\pi \times 2.3)

y = -8.37 cm
