Answer:

18 W

Explanation:

Applying,

P = V²/R.................. Equation 1

Where P = Power of both glowing bulbs, V = Voltage, R = Combined Resistance of both bulbs

Since: It is a series circuit,

Then,

R = R1+R2............. Equation 2

Where R1= Resistance of the first bulb, R2 = Resistance of the second bulb

Given: R1 = R2 = 8 Ω

Substitute into equation 1

R = 8+8

R = 16 Ω

Also Given: V = 12 V

Substitute into equation 1

P = 12²/8

P = 144/8

P = 18 W

Amanda [17]

Answer:

amount of energy  = 4730.4 kWh/yr

amount of money = 520.34 per year

payback period = 0.188 year

Explanation:

given data

light fixtures = 6

lamp = 4

power = 60 W

average use = 3 h a day

price of electricity = $0.11/kWh

to find out

the amount of energy and money that will be saved and simple payback period if the purchase price of the sensor is $32 and it takes 1 h to install it at a cost of $66

solution

we find energy saving by difference in time the light were

ΔE = no of fixture × number of lamp × power of each lamp × Δt

ΔE is amount of energy save and Δt is time difference

so

ΔE = 6 × 4 × 365 ( 12 - 9 )

ΔE = 4730.4 kWh/yr

and

money saving find out by energy saving and unit cost that i s

ΔM = ΔE × Munit

ΔM = 4730.4 × 0.11

ΔM = 520.34 per year

and

payback period is calculate as

payback period = \frac{excess initial cost}{\Delta M}

payback period = \frac{32 + 66}{520.34}

payback period = 0.188 year

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

35°C

Explanation:

q = mCΔT

2130 J = (0.200 kg) (710 J/kg/°C) (T − 20.0°C)

T = 35°C

An experiment consists of determining the speed of automobiles on a highway by the use of radar equipment. The random variable i
faust18 [17]

The random variable in this experiment is a Continuous random variable.

Option D

<u>Explanation</u>:

The continuous random variable is random variable where the data can take infinite variables. For example random variable is taken for measuring "speed of automobiles" on the highways. The radar instrument depicts time taken by automobile in particular what speed. They are the generalization of discrete random variables not the real numbers as a random data is created. It gives infinite sets of all possible outcomes. It is obvious that outcomes of the instrument depend on some "physical variables" those are not predictable as depends on the situation.

If a 1,300 kg car with no people inside is on the edge of a cliff 1,500 m above the ground, what is its potential energy?
Ghella [55]

<u>Given that</u>

mass (m) = 1300 Kg ,

height (h) = 1500 m

Determine the potential energy ?

     P.E = m × g × h

           = 1300 × 9.81 × 1500

           = 19129500  Joules

           = 19129.5 KJ
