If it takes 15 minutes to dry your hair with a 1.200 kW hair drier, how much energy is used in drying your hair?
A. 0.300 kWh
B. 1.200 kWh
C. 1.800 kWh
D. 18.000 kWh

Respuesta :

Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

     Power = 1.200 kW,         Time = 15 minutes = [tex]\frac{15min}{60 min/hr}[/tex] = 0.25 hour

     Energy = ?

Thus, calculate the energy by using the formula as follows.

               Power = [tex]\frac{Energy}{Time}[/tex]

               Energy = Power × Time

                            = 1.200 kW × 0.25 hr

                            = 0.300 kWh

Thus, we can conclude that 0.300 kWh energy is used in drying your hair.

The energy of the hair drier is 0.3 kWh. The right option is A. 0.3 kWh

To calculate the energy used to dry the hair, we use the formula below.

Formula:

  • P = E/t................ Equation 1

Where:

  • P = Power of the drier
  • E = Energy used to dry the hair
  • t = time.

Make E the subject of the equation.

  • E = Pt................ Equation 2

From the question,

Given:

  • P = 1.2 kW
  • t = 15 minutes = (15/60) = 0.25 hours.

Substitute these values into equation 2

  • E = 1.2(0.25)
  • E =  0.3 kWh.

Hence, The energy of the hair drier is 0.3 kWh. The right option is A. 0.3 kWh
