In a particular city, electrical energy costs $0.13 per kilowatt-hour. (Round your answers, in dollars, to at least two decimal places.)   (a) How much does it cost to operate an old-style incandescent 60.0-W light bulb continuously for 24 hours? $ ??? (b) A modern LED light bulb that emits as much visible light as a 60.0-W incandescent only draws 8.50 W of power. How much does it cost to operate this bulb for 24 hours? $ ??? (c) A particular electric oven requires a potential difference of 220 V and draws 20.0 A of current when operating. How much does it cost to operate the oven for 4.30 hours? $ ???
The energy flux from the sun has a peak value of around 1500 W/m2, and solar cells are around 15% efficient. Estimate the area needed to satisfy US energy needs using solar cells, using the estimates that there are about 350 million people in the US and that we use an average of 90 kW/person. Also assume that there are about 6 hours of "peak" sunlight per day. Answer in square kilometers (do not put units in your answer, however).
You are standing 2.5 m from a 150-W lightbulb. (a) If thepupil of your eye is a circle 5.0 mm in diameter, how much energyenters your eye per second? (Assume that 5.0% of the lightbulb’spower is converted to light.) (b) Repeat part (a) for the case of a1.0-mm-diameter laser beam with a power of 0.50 mW.
