    Calculating Power and Energy Consumption in Electrical Circuits

    ok well P = IV, P = V2 / r.. power is equal to a watt which equals a Joule/Second 600w equals 600 j/s if it goes 8.4 hours it would be 8 hours (60 minutes)+ 24 minutes (for the .4 hours) so that's 504 minutes every day, x 30 days equals 15120 minutes in 30 days. Now convert minutes to...

    Different types of Questions not many though

    an elevator of mass M is suspended from a vertical cable. When the elevator is accelerating downward with an acceleration magnitude of 5.8 m/s^2, the tension in the cable is 3644N, what is the mass of the elevator? I had a few ideas.. T - mg = ma T = m(g + a) T/(g+ a) = m Or i was...
