A microwave oven has a power requirement of 1,248 W. A frozen dinner requires 5.0 min to heat on full power.
(a) How much electrical energy (in kWh) is used?
(b) If the cost of electricity is 11¢ 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.

Chapter 5, Section 5.8, Question 32
Determine the length of a rectangular trench you can dig with the energy gained from eating one Milky Way bar (270 cal). Assume that you convert
the energy gained from the food with 5% efficiency and that the trench is 7 meters wide and 1 meter deep. Use the fact that the density of soil is
1000 kg/m³ and the acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m/s².
Round your answer to two decimal places.
The length of the trench is
the tolerance is +/- 2%
