The lighting needs of a storage room are being met by six fluorescent light fixtures, each fixture containing four lamps rated a

t 60 W each. All the lamps are on during operating hours of the facility, which is 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., 365 days a year. The storage room is actually used for an average of 3 h a day. If the price of electricity is $0.11/kWh, determine the amount of energy and money that will be saved as a result of installing motion sensors. Also, determine the 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.

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

A 480-kilogram horse runs across a field at a rate of 40 km/hr. What is the magnitude of the horse's momentum?
Andrej [43]
Momentum (p) = mass × velocity

so, 480×40 = 19,200 kg km/hr

so the answer is C !!

x-direction:
p = 0

momentum after the collision is conserved:
x-direction:
p = 6.75 = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = 1.5 * 2. 1* cos -30° + 3.2 * v₂*cos θ
y-direction:
p = 0 = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = 1.5 * 2.1 * sin -30° + 3.2 * v₂ * sin θ

Solve the two equations for v₂ and θ.

Nady [450]

Answer:

a)   W_total = 8240 J , b)  W₁ / W₂ = 1.1

Explanation:

In this exercise you are asked to calculate the work that is defined by

       W = F. dy

As the container is rising and the force is vertical the scalar product is reduced to the algebraic product.

       W = F dy = F Δy

let's apply this formula to our case

a) Let's use Newton's second law to calculate the force in the first y = 5 m

          F - W = m a

          W = mg

          F = m (a + g)

          F = 80 (1 + 9.8)

          F = 864 N

The work of this force we will call it W1

   We look for the force for the final 5 m, since the speed is constant the force must be equal to the weight (a = 0)

        F₂ - W = 0

        F₂ = W

        F₂ = 80 9.8

        F₂ = 784 N

The work of this fura we will call them W2

The total work is

         W_total = W₁ + W₂

         W_total = (F + F₂) y

         W_total = (864 + 784) 5

         W_total = 8240 J

b) To find the relationship between work with relate (W1) and work with constant speed (W2), let's use

        W₁ / W₂ = F y / F₂ y

        W₁ / W₂ = 864/784

        W₁ / W₂ = 1.1

A satellite revolves around a planet at an altitude equal to the radius of the planet. the force of gravitational interaction be
USPshnik [31]
<span>f2 = f0/4 The gravity from the planet can be modeled as a point source at the center of the planet with all of the planet's mass concentrated at that point. So the initial condition for f0 has the satellite at a distance of 2r, where r equals the planet's radius. The expression for the force of gravity is F = G*m1*m2/r^2 where F = Force G = Gravitational constant m1,m2 = masses involved r = distance between center of masses. Now for f2, the satellite has an altitude of 3r and when you add in the planet's radius, the distance from the center of the planet is now 4r. When you compare that to the original distance of 2r, that will show you that the satellite is now twice as far from the center of the planet as it was when it started. So let's compare the gravitational attraction, before and after. f0 = G*m1*m2/r^2 f2 = G*m1*m2/(2r)^2 f2/f0 = (G*m1*m2/(2r)^2) / (G*m1*m2/r^2) The Gm m1, and m2 terms cancel, so f2/f0 = (1/(2r)^2) / (1/r^2) f2/f0 = (1/4r^2) / (1/r^2) And the r^2 terms cancel, so f2/f0 = (1/4) / (1/1) f2/f0 = (1/4) / 1 f2/f0 = 1/4 f2 = f0*1/4 f2 = f0/4 So the gravitational force on the satellite after tripling it's altitude is one fourth the original force.</span>

The particle starts from rest at t=0. What is the magnitude p of the momentum of the particle at time t? Assume that t&gt;0. Exp
olganol [36]

Answer:

Ft

Explanation:

We are given that

Initial velocity=u=0

We have to find the magnitude of p of the momentum of the particle at time t.

Let mass of particle=m

Applied force=F

Acceleration, a=\frac{F}{m}

Final velocity , v=a+ut

Substitute the values

v=0+\frac{F}{m}t=\frac{F}{m}t

We know that

Momentum, p=mv

Using the formula

p=m\times \frac{F}{m}t=Ft
