The cost of electricity varies widely throughout the United States; $0.120/kWh is a typical value. At this unit price, calculate the cost of the following.
a. Leaving a 40.0-W porch light on for 2 weeks while you are on vacation.
b. Making a piece of dark toast in 3.00 min with a 980 W toaster.
c. Drying a load of clothes in 40.0 min in a 4900 W dryer.

a) $1.6123 , b) $0.00588 c) $0.392

Explanation:

Note, all power in watts is converted to kilowatts and all units of time is converted to hours.

The cost of electricity is $0.12 for 1kwh.

Question a.

Power = 40w to kilowatts = 40/1000 = 0.04kw

Time = 2 weeks to hours = 24 * 14 = 336 h.

Energy = power * time.

Energy = 0.04 * 336 = 13.44kwh.

If 1kwh cost $0.12, then 13.44 kwh will cost

0.12 * 13.44 = $1.6132.

Question b

Power = 980w to kilowatts = 980/1000= 0.98kw

Time = 3 minutes to hours = 3/60 = 0.05 h

Energy = power * time

Energy = 0.98 * 0.05

Energy = 0.049kwh

If 1kwh cost $0.12, then 0.049 kwh will cost

0.049 * 0.12 = $0.00588

Question c

Power = 4900w to kilowatts = 4900/1000= 4.9kw.

Time = 40 minutes to hours = 40/ 60 = 0.67.

Energy = power * time

Energy = 4.9 * 0.67

Energy = 3.267 kwh

If 1 kwh cost $0.12, then 3.267kwh will cost

3.268 * 0.12 = $ 0.392

i don't understand. explain it clearly

the order for strong to weak forces such as

strong nuclear force → electromegnetic force → weak nuclear force → gravitational force

the fundamental forces are those forces that act between to objects or element to make interactions. there are four types of fundamental forces such as strong and weak nuclear forces (due to protons and electrons), electromagnetic force (due to the motion of electrons) and gravitational force (due to orbital movement of the planet). if these forces are arranged on the basis of their maximum strength then the order is

strong nuclear force → electromegnetic force → weak nuclear force → gravitational force
