Compare the energy consumption of two commonly used items in the household. Calculate the energy used by a 1.40 kW toaster oven, Wtoaster , which is used for 5.40 minutes , and then calculate the amount of energy that an 11.0 W compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulb, Wlight , uses when left on for 10.50 hours .

Energy = (power) x (time)

-- For the toaster:

Power = 1.4 kW  =  1,400 watts

Time = 5.4 minutes = 324 seconds

Energy = (1,400 W) x (324 s)  =  453,600 Joules

-- For the CFL bulb:

Power = 11 watts

Time = 10.5 hours = 37,800 seconds

Energy = (11 W) x (37,800 s)  =  415,800 Joules

-- The toaster uses energy at 127 times the rate of the CFL bulb.

-- The CFL bulb uses energy at 0.0079 times the rate of the toaster.

-- The toaster is used for 0.0086 times as long as the CFL bulb.

-- The CFL bulb is used for 116.7 times as long as the toaster.    

-- The toaster uses 9.1% more energy than the CFL bulb.

-- The CFL bulb uses 8.3% less energy than the toaster.  

d.7.5cm is your answer

note: the given question is incomplete.

complete question is given below.

which is an example of kinetic energy?

a. the energy stored in ethanol  

b. a hockey puck sliding across the ice  

c. a compressed spring  

d. a ball sitting at the top of a ramp

solution: the kinetic energy is the energy posses by the virtue of the motion of the object.

in the given options, a, c and d are the example of potential energy because it is the energy posses by the virtue of the rest of the object. but option b has the kinetic energy as the object is in motion.

hence, a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the apex example of kinetic energy.

so, the option (b) a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the correct option.
