A certain type of D-cell battery that costs $0.50 is capable of producing 1.2 V and a current of 0.1 A for a period of 75 hours. Determine the cost of the energy delivered by this battery per kilowatt hour. (For comparison, the approximate cost of energy purchased from electric utilities in the United States is $0.12 per kilowatt hour.)

Assume that, as the battery wears out, the voltage decreases at 0.04 volts per second and, as the resistor heats up, the resistance is increasing at 0.02 ohms per second. When the resistance is 300 ohms and the current is 0.01 amperes, at what rate is the current changing? amperes per secondarrow_forward
