The Sylvania Super Saver 75 W light uses 20 watts, produces 1280 lumens, and costs $4.49. As an alternative, a generic 75 W incandescent light bulb costs $0.40, produces 1200 lumens, and has a service life of 750 hours. Compare the performance of each light by calculating the efficacy for each light and estimate how much it would cost to run each light for 4 hours per day for 300 days in a year. Assume electricity costs 9 cents per kWh.

You are considering purchasing a compact washing machine, and you have the following information: The Energy Guide claims an estimated yearly electricity use of 350 kW-hrs, based on 8 loads of laundry being washed per week. The Energy Guide claims an estimated yearly operating cost of $38. This estimate is based on $0.1065 per kW-hr, and eight loads of laundry being washed per week. Local electricity costs $0.086 per kW-hr. You wash four loads of laundry per week. Based on this information, first calculate the energy that would be used by this compact washing machine in a year. Then calculate the yearly energy cost. Group of answer choices $3.27 $19.00 $15.34 $178.4
A tentative rule was given about tipping in Testing Experiment Table 8.4, where if a vertical line passing through the object's center of mass is within the object's area of support the object does not tip. According to the rule, the full box of crackers in the following experiment, which has a width of 13 cm and a height of 20 cm, was seen to tip at an angle of: θc=tan−1(13 cm/20 cm)=33∘θ According to the rule, at what angle will a box with the left half filled with crackers begin to tip? Assume the box is light-weight and that the contents remain in the configuration in

Porosity is a measure of the void or empty spaces in a material and is a fraction of the volume of voids over the total volume. The density of the solid material used to create 10 pieces of 1.05 cm diameter and 1.31 cm height cylindrical beads is determined to be 1.53 g/mL. These beads were then placed in a flask and was filled to the 36 mL mark with a salt solution. The total weight measured of the beads and the salt solution was 47.86 g. Upon further inspection, it was found that manufacturing defects caused the measured porosity of the beads to be at 29%. Assuming that the solution was able to fully fill the empty spaces inside the beads, calculate the density of the salt solution. Show your solutions in the next item (Kindly use GRESA, thank you) Round your answer to 2 decimal places.
Explain briefly the disadvantages of human power. 1 paragraph only.
Bakery ABC produces two products, butter cake, and chocolate cake. The sales volume for butter cake is at least 80% of the total sales of both butter cake and chocolate cake. However, the company cannot sell more than 100 pieces of butter cakes per day. Both products use flour, of which the maximum daily availability is 240 kg. The usage rates of the flour are 2 kg for every butter cake and 4 kg for every chocolate cake. The profit per piece of butter cake and chocolate cake are RM20 and RM50 respectively. Solve this case study using the graphical method. Construct the objective function of the given case-study. Construct the constrains of the given case-study. Propose the quantity of butter cake and chocolate cakes to be produced daily in order to maximize profit using graphical method approach.
