If it results in the compressor running continuously, as it will after a short delay, then the power consumption of the compressor motor is going to waste. In addition the energy used to cool the fridge in the first place will also be lost, this would amount to perhaps a half hour of extra running. Look at the rating on the machine in watts.
The same amount of heat that is removed from inside plus the energy that is used in the compressor which, apart from a tiny amount lost as sound, all ends up as heat. A fridge simply moves heat from one place to another. If a fridge has a 1000 watt motor then that is what will be given in heat off while the compressor is running plus the heat its moving from inside at the time.
In some cases, yes. If you use energy for heating, part of that energy is wasted when you leave the door open - the heat escapes to the outside in this case. Similarly, if you use energy for air-conditioning, heat comes back into the house if you leave the door open - and the air-conditioner must work extra, and will of course use more energy.
You'll burn about 1 calorie opening a door in any season.
That only works if the oven is ON .
No, the fridge puts as much heat out its back as it will put out the door.
the second law of thermodynamics proves that heat always flows from hot to cold. It is hard to give good every day examples, since when you open the refrigerator door you feel cold but actually the room is warming the fridge.
In my particular case, the kinetic energy of my father's hand would be converted into heat energy in that event, resulting in an increase in the temperature of the seat of my pants. Speaking thermodynamically . . . when the fridge door remains open in a sealed room, the fridge keeps removing heat from the room-air that enters it, and expelling that heat into the room, along with the heat of the compressor and circulation fan, causing a continuous rise in the temperature of the room as long as the door stays open. The bottom-line energy conversion is from utility power at the wall-outlet into heat in the room, by way of the motors in the fridge's heat-transfer system.
Albert Einstein in fact DID know how to open a door.
He is leaving door open and does not want to end it. He is leaving door open and does not want to end it.
That only works if the oven is ON .
You eat the slim Jim which gives your lazy butt energy to open the door.
Too many variables to answer this one accurately. Outside temperature, wind chill, general infiltration, other doors/windows open, efficiency of heating/air conditioning unit etc etc.
That would certainly do it.
Open the door by using a paper towel to touch the handle
it i slike a wedge that helps keep doors open. other doorstops, are behind the door to stp the door from banging on the wall and leaving marks.
No, for two reasons. First, the fridge door has to be closed to keep the air temperature inside the fridge cool enough to keep the foods cold and safe. Second, leaving the fridge door open causes the refrigerator to run more, costing more energy and running up the electric or gas bill.

Intead of leaving ten bones behind, (which is impossible) spell out the word: TEN.
That you need to close whatever door you're leaving open enough for a bird to come into your house.
