MHB Conversion KWH of energy per day to Joules in a year

AI Thread Summary
An appliance that consumes 6.65 kWh per day has an average power consumption of approximately 277 watts. To convert this daily energy consumption into joules for a year, the total energy consumed is calculated by multiplying the daily usage by the number of days in a year, resulting in 2,426,400 kJ. The conversion factor from kilowatt-hours to joules is essential for this calculation, where 1 kWh equals 3.6 million joules. The formula P = W/t is used to relate power, work, and time, confirming the average power consumption over a year. Understanding these conversions is crucial for energy management and appliance efficiency.

What is the average power consumption in watts of an appliance that uses 6.65 kW*h of per day?

6650/24=277 W

b) How many joules of energy does this appliance consume in a year?

What is the conversion factors for b)?

P = W/t. (P = power, W = work = energy output more or less, t = time.) You've got P from part a and now t = 1 year.

Thread 'Non-orthogonal bases'

Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...

Thread 'What Exactly is Dirac’s Delta Function? - Insight'

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
