At home I have a 350W motorized washing machine that I use to wash three times a week, 2 batches of clothes of 22 minutes each each time. Based on this problem, answer the following questions: a) How much energy in Joules do I "consume" in a year? (use 52 weeks for your calculation) b) based on the conditions of the previous question, what consumption would you have in kWh? c) How much do I pay, annually, in dollars, for the use of the washing machine, if the rate for energy from my electric company is 0.17443 / kWh?
Two plates are horizontal and are separated by 1.0 cm and are connected to a 100 volt battery with magnitude E =1.00x 10 4 N IC. Suppose the direction of E is vertically upward. (b) What speed and kinetic energy does the electron acquire while traveling 1.0 cm to the lower plate? O v = 3.51 x 1013 m/s O v = 5.93 x 107 m/s O v = 2.34 x 107 m/s O v = 5.93 x 106 m/s O E = 5.61 x 10-4 J O E = 1.6 x 10-17 J O E = 2.49 x 10-16 J O E = 1.6 x 10-15 J

A house has 3 tubelights, 2 fans and a television. Each tubelight draws 40 W. The fan draws 80 W and the television draws 60 W. On an average, all the tubelights are kept on for five hours, two fans for 12 hours each and the television for five hours a day. Find the cost of electric energy used in 30 days at the rate of Rs. 3.00 per KWH.
Why electric cars (which are amazing) still stink at towing and going up mountains. A family in Charlotte wants to drive to a campsite next to Mt. Mitchell. Their trip will take them 2km up in elevation. They have the choice of taking their top-of-the-Iline Tesla model S P100D, which when fully charged has 100 kWh of stored energy in the batteries (and for this problem is 100% efficient at converting its stored energy into kinetic energy) and a mass of 2200kg, or their choice of taking their 2021 Ford F-150. Gasoline has an energy density of 34.2 Megajoules per liter. The family owns the smallest 2021 Ford F-150, and so it has a fuel tank of 23 gallons. Assume the F-150's engine is able to convert 30% of the energy stored in its gasoline tank into kinetic energy (typical efficiency for gasoline engines), with the rest of the stored energy in the gasoline lost to heat. The mass of this model F-150 is about 2000kg. They are going to tow their big pop-up trailer to the campsite. For this…
