Answer:
a. Energy = 28800000 Joules
b. Energy = 8 Kwh
c. Cost = $4
Explanation:
Given the following data;
Power = 1000 Watts
Time = 8 hours
Cost = $0.5 per KWh
Conversion:
1 hour = 60 * 60 = 3600 seconds
8 hour = 8 * 3600 = 28800 seconds
a. To find much electrical energy, in joules;
Energy = power * time
Energy = 1000 * 28800
Energy = 28800000 Joules
b. To find how much energy is that in kilowatt hours;
Energy = power * time
Energy = 1000 * 8
Energy = 8000 Watt-hour = 8000/1000 = 8 Kwh (1 Kilowatts is equal to 1000 watts).
c. To calculate the cost of using this heater;
Cost = 8 * 0.5
Cost = $4
