Question

Your washer has power of 450 watts, and your dryer has a power of 3000

watts. How much energy do you use to clean a load of clothes in 1 hour of
washing and 1.5 hours of drying?

Answer 1

See explanations below

Step-by-step explanation:

Power = Workdone/Time

Power of washer = 450watts

Time used to clean the clothes = 1hour = 3600secs

Energy used to clean a load of clothes in 1 hour of

washing = 450/3600

Energy used to clean a load of clothes in 1 hour of

washing = 0.125Joules

For drying;

Energy = 3000/1.5*3600

Energy = 3000/5400

Energy = 0.556Joules

Hence the energy in washing id 0.556Joules
