In the movie Back to the Future, Marty travels back in time to 1955. In 1955, the only available light bulbs in the United States were incandescent bulbs.
Assume that last year, you traveled back in time to 1955 and changed all the light bulbs in a single average American household (45 light bulbs) from 75-watt incandescent bulbs to the corresponding 17-watt LED bulbs.
The estimated usage is 3 hours per day , at a cost of $0.11 per kilowatt-hour .
Based on energy cost alone - not considering the cost to replace any light bulbs and not considering any changes in energy cost with time - how much money in dollars would this household have saved over a 66-year time span (from 1955 to 2021) by changing from incandescent to LED bulbs?
On an alien planet, the law that expresses the flow of blood through a blood vessel, F, as a function of the radius r of the vessel is
f=kr5/2where k is a constant.
Certain geological features of this planet produce a gas that changes the radius of blood vessels by 5% at the time of inhalation. What would the corresponding increase in blood flow through the vessel at this time be?

Energy consumption in a country from 2001 to 2011 increased from 1041.3 million to 1526.1 million BOE (barrels of oil equivalent). If the high calorific value (HHV) of the oil is 141,000 kJ/gallon what is the increase in energy consumption over 10 years in Joule units. What is the rate of energy consumption per year? 2. Based on data on the rate of energy consumption per year from question no. 1, if the growth rate energy 2.5% per year, calculate the doubling time (td) and what is the approximate rate of energy growth in 2021.arrow_forwardA commonly used unit in everyday language to state weight is the pound (lb). There are actually several formal definitions of pound. One classification system defines a pound-mass (analogous to kg in SI units) and a pound-force (lbf) (analogous to a Newton); this is formally called English Engineering units but also commonly used in US Customary System units. The “pound” in the “pounds per square inch” of psi refers to pound-force. Hence, psi has units of force per area. Note that 1 lbf is defined as the gravitational force generated by 1 lb (mass) by multiplying it by the standard gravitational acceleration at the earth’s surface. Starting with just the two everyday conversion approximations every Canadian should know (1.00 kg ≈ 2.20 lb (mass) and 1.00 inch ≈ 2.54 cm), derive an approximation of 1.00 psi in Pa through unit conversions only (show each step).arrow_forward
