A microwave oven has a power requirement of 1,263 W. A frozen dinner requires 5.8 min to heat on full power.
(a) How much electrical energy (in kWh) is used?
(b) If the cost of electricity is 14¢ per kWh, how much does it cost to heat the dinner? (Do not round your final answer. Fractional cent values are acceptable.)
A particular frost-free refrigerator uses about 720 kWh of electrical energy per year.
Express this amount of energy in joules (J).
Express this amount of energy in kilojoules (kJ).
While 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.

- About 50,000 years ago, a meteor crashed into the earth near present-day Flagstaff, Arizona. Measurements from 2005 estimate that this meteor had a mass of about 1.4 * 108 kg (around 150,000 tons) and hit the ground at a speed of 12 km/s. (a) How much kinetic energy did this meteor deliver to the ground? (b) How does this energy compare to the energy released by a 1.0 megaton nuclear bomb? (A megaton bomb releases the same amount of energy as a million tons of TNT, and 1.0 ton of TNT releases 4.184 * 109 J of energy.)arrow_forwardi am so lost of tryi ng to understand the calulations needed on this problem?arrow_forwardWhat does one month's heating cost in the home of a neighbor who uses a heat pump to provide the same amount of heating?
