A clothes dryer uses 3,000 watts when the motor is running. A newer model uses 400 watts when the motor is running. For both models, a single drying cycle takes 1 hour to complete. Suppose that a family uses their clothes dryer four times per week and electricity costs $0.15 per kilowatt-hour. How much money will the family save in a single year if they replace their clothes dryer with a newer model?

You're trying to entertain your younger brother and decide to mount a battery-powered fan on his plastic toboggan. Yourbrother sits on the toboggan, on a frozen pond, and you turn on the fan to see what happens. Unfortunately, the batteriesin the fan were quite old, and after 12.3 s (you were timing him - collecting data is fun!), the fan turns off. You know fromprevious experiments that the fan is able to exert a force of 8.3 N. The combined mass of your brother on his toboggan is18.1 kg. You looked up the coefficient of friction for plastic on ice and found it to be 0.03. How far will vour brother travel onhis toboggan?

- Construct Your Own Problem Consider a battery used to supply energy to a cellular phone. Construct a problem in which you determine the energy that must be supplied by the battery, and then calculate the amount of charge it must be able to move in order to supply this energy. Among the things to be considered are the energy needs and battery voltage. You may need to look ahead to interpret manufacturer’s battery ratings in ampere hours as energy in joules.arrow_forwardFind the voltage change when an electric field does 13 JJ of work on a 0.00011-CC charge. Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units. Find the voltage change when the same electric field does 26 JJ of work on a 0.00022-CC charge. Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.arrow_forwardThe switch in the figure has been closed for a very long time.

- A nerve cell is shaped like a cylinder. The membrane wall of the cylinder has a +0.07-V potential difference from the inside to the outside of the wall. To help maintain this potential difference, sodium ions are pumped from inside the cell to the outside. For a typical cell, 10^9 ions are pumped each second. a. Determine the change in chemical energy each second required to produce this increase in electric potential energy. b. If there are roughly 7×10^11 of these cells in the body, how much chemical energy is used in pumping sodium ions each second? c. Estimate the fraction of a person's metabolic rate used to pump these ions.

(b) Calculate the motor's efficiency - that is, the work it does per unit time divided by the electrical power it uses.arrow_forwardFor most purposes, we store electrical energy in batteries. But there are drawbacks to batteries: They release their energy rather slowly and are very damaging environmentally. Capacitors would be much cleaner for the environment and can be quickly recharged.
