Answer:

326.25 kWh

Explanation:

Efficiency of a machine is defined as the ratio of useful energy to that of the energy consumed by the machine.

Here, efficiency is given as 87% and the energy consumed by the computer is 375 kWh.

Efficiency, $\eta=\frac{\textrm{Useful energy}}{\textrm{Energy consumed}}$

Plug in the values of $\eta=0.87$ and 375 kWh for energy consumed. Solve for useful energy. This gives,

Efficiency, $\eta=\frac{\textrm{Useful energy}}{\textrm{Energy consumed}}\\ 0.87=\frac{\textrm{Useful energy}}{375}\\ \textrm{Useful energy}=0.87\times 375=326.25 \textrm{ kWh}$

Therefore, the useful energy provided by the computer is 326.25 kWh.

A person wants to lose weight by "pumping iron". The person lifts an 80 kg weight 1 meter. How many times must this weight be li

statuscvo [17]

Answer:

37357 sec

or 622 min

or 10.4 hrs

Explanation:

GIVEN DATA:

Lifting weight 80 kg

1 cal = 4184 J

from information given in question we have

one lb fat consist of 3500 calories = 3500 x 4184 J

= 14.644 x 10^6 J

Energy burns in 1 lift = m g h

= 80 x 9.8 x 1 = 784 J

lifts required $= \frac{(14.644 x 10^6)}{784}$

= 18679

from the question,

1 lift in 2 sec.

so, total time = 18679 x 2 = 37357 sec

or 622 min

or 10.4 hrs

Which of the following characteristics of Earth's relationship to the Sun explains the existence of Earth's seasons? Choose all

Aneli [31]

Answer:

Earth's axis is tilted relative to its orbital plane.

Earth orbits around the Sun, completing one orbit each year

Explanation:

The earth tilt at an angle causes the sun rays to hit the earth surface around the globe differently. Due to the oblique angle that the rays hit the subtropics and poles, there is less heat intensity compared to the equator where the sun rays hit the earth's surface at a more or less right angle.

The earth rotation around the sun also causes seasons coupled with the earth’s tilts. As the earth rotates, in one point in the orbit, the northern or southern hemispheres will be tilted towards the sun. The phenomenon varies the local temperatures of particular regions of the earth hence driving seasonal climatic changes.

Pions have a half-life of 1.8 x 10^-8 s. A pion beam leaves an accelerator at a speed of 0.8c. What is the expected distance ove

Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

the expected distance is 4.32 m

Explanation:

given data

half life time = 1.8 × $10^{-8}$ s

speed = 0.8 c = 0.8 × 3 × $10^{8}$

to find out

expected distance over

solution

we know c is speed of light in air is 3 × $10^{8}$ m/s

we calculate expected distance by given formula that is

expected distance = half life time × speed .........1

put here all these value

expected distance = half life time × speed

expected distance = 1.8 × $10^{-8}$ × 0.8 × 3 × $10^{8}$

expected distance = 4.32

so the expected distance is 4.32 m
