1. The Atmos clock(the so-called perpetual motion clock) gets its name from the fact that it runs off pressure vacations in the atmosphere, which drive a belows containing a mixture of gas and liquid ethyl chloride. Because the power to drive these clocks is so limited, they must be very efficient. In fact, a single 60.0 W lightbulb could power 240 million Atmos clocks simultaneously. Find the amount of energy, in joules, required to run an Atmos clock for one day. Explain and draws.
Cost of Electricity A refrigerator is an appliance that is left running all the time. In New Orleans, Louisiana, the average residential electricity rate charged by Entergy is 9.82¢/kWh. Using this rate, how much will it cost to operate a refrigerator that requires 220 Watts in one month. You can use the following steps: 1. Convert power to kW = 2. Time (in hours) in one month (30 days) = %3D 3. Energy consumption (Power x Time) = 4. Cost (Rate x Energy) in dollars =
