3.6 x 10^5 J

OpenStudy (anonymous):

10 * 24

OpenStudy (neonumbrella5115):

@beastieman21 What equation did you use to solve that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i meant 100 * 24 that will give u kW/ hr

OpenStudy (neonumbrella5115):

Oh, so the answer is 2400?

OpenStudy (aaronq):

1 W = 1 J/s

OpenStudy (neonumbrella5115):

@aaronq I don't get it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (aaronq):

you have to do bunch of conversions. 100 W = 100 J/s in 24 hrs, there are 24*60 min* 60 sec =86400 seconds 100 J/s*86400 seconds=8640000 J
