Power and energy Power and energy are often used interchangeably, but they are quite different. Energy is what makes matter move or heat up. It is measured in units of joules or Calories, where 1 Cal = 4184 J. One hour of walking consumes roughly 106 J, or 240 Cal. On the other hand, power is the rate at which energy is used, which is measured in watts, where 1 W = 1 J/s. Other useful units of power are kilowatts (l kW = 103 W) and megawatts (l MW = 106 W). If energy is used at a rate of l kW for one hour, the total amount of energy used is 1 kilowatt-hour (l kWh = 3.6 × 106 J). Suppose the cumulative energy used in a large building over a 24-hr period is given by
- a. Graph the energy function.
- b. The power is the rate of energy consumption; that is, P(t) = E′(t). Find the power over the interval 0 ≤ t ≤ 24.
- c. Graph the power function and interpret the graph. What are the units of power in this case?

- i need the solution of part d and bonus. THANK YOUarrow_forwardDraw the following solid and explain each step to obtain the final result of the volume (see image):arrow_forwardA cook has finished baking a cake and placed it on the bench to cool. The temperature in the room is 20°C and the temperature of the cake when it was taken out of the oven is 160°C (a) Given that the temperature of the cake is governed by Newton's law of cooling, write down a differential equation governing T(t), the temperature of the cake after t hours. What is the appropriate initial condition? (Newton's law of cooling: dT dt =-K(T-Ta), where K is a constant and Ta is the ambient temperature.) (b) From you answer in part (a), derive the solution T(t) = 20 + 140e Kt, where K is a (c) constant. Given that the cake has cooled to 90°C after 1 hour, determine the constant K. (d) The cook decides that the cake is cool enough to be taken out of the cake pan when its temperature lowers to 40 degrees C. Find when this will happen, both in exact form and as a decimal approximation to at least 2 decimal places, showing all working.arrow_forward
