You get home from work and make the same meal everyday for a year. Vegetables and meat baked in a casserole dish. You cook your meal at 350 F for 60 mins. This uses about 2.5kWh of electricity. What will it cost you to cook your dinners for a year if your utility charges you 5.5 cents per kWh?
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?

- Construct Your Own Problem. Consider a battery used to supply energy to a cellular phone. Construct a problem in which you determine the energy that must be supplied by the battery, and then calculate the amount of charge it must be able to move in order to supply this energy. Among the things to be considered are the energy needs and battery voltage. You may need to look ahead to interpret manufacturer’s battery ratings in ampere-hours as energy in joules.arrow_forwardA small vegetable shop use the following electric appliances: (i) Two Air Conditioner of rating 2200 W for ten hours each day (ii) Two Electric Freezer of rating 900W each for 24 hours each day (iii) Ten electric tube lights of rating 30W each for 12 hours each day.
