- In one of the videos I said that a typical American household uses energy at a rate of about 10,000 joules per second. A shorthand unit for this would be "10 kilowatts". Using energy at this rate costs about $1.50 per hour (this is not quite right, as it assumes that all the energy is electrical energy, which is relatively cheap, but let's go with this for an estimate). How much does this energy usage cost for a year?arrow_forward(Indicates a review question, which means it requires only a basic understanding of the material to answer.

THANK YOU!arrow_forwardWhile waiting in line, you become curious as to how long it takes to complete 1 lap. You decide to take some measurements and find the track is exactly 1 mile long. The ride attendant tells you the go karts can travel at 20 miles per hour. Using the literal equation ‘Speed= Distance/Time’, calculate how many minutes it takes to complete 1 lap. (1 hour = 60 minutes) (use the blank part of this slide to answer) Show All work.arrow_forward
