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 'Trigonometry problem of interest'

Seemingly by some mathematical coincidence, a hexagon of sides 2,2,7,7, 11, and 11 can be inscribed in a circle of radius 7. The other day I saw a math problem on line, which they said came from a Polish Olympiad, where you compute the length x of the 3rd side which is the same as the radius, so that the sides of length 2,x, and 11 are inscribed on the arc of a semi-circle. The law of cosines applied twice gives the answer for x of exactly 7, but the arithmetic is so complex that the...

Thread 'Six Pencil Puzzle'

Is it possible to arrange six pencils such that each one touches the other five? If so, how? This is an adaption of a Martin Gardner puzzle only I changed it from cigarettes to pencils and left out the clues because PF folks don’t need clues. From the book “My Best Mathematical and Logic Puzzles”. Dover, 1994.

Thread 'Imaginary Pythagoras'

Thread 'Imaginary Pythagoras'

I posted this in the Lame Math thread, but it's got me thinking. Is there any validity to this? Or is it really just a mathematical trick? Naively, I see that i2 + plus 12 does equal zero2. But does this have a meaning? I know one can treat the imaginary number line as just another axis like the reals, but does that mean this does represent a triangle in the complex plane with a hypotenuse of length zero? Ibix offered a rendering of the diagram using what I assume is matrix* notation...
