A car of the future requires 15kW of power to travel along a level road at 65km/h. A physics student wishes to use the car to dr

ive from Bowser to Qualicum, a distance of about 25 km. The engine is driven by heat energy recovered from a special material which has a specific heat capacity of 9800 J/kg • degree Celsius, If the car has 350 kg of this material, the outside air temperature is 15 °c and the engine is 88% efficient, to what temperature must the material be heated?

Power = Energy / time, The time is the one it takes to cover 25 km at 65 km/h, so:  time = 25/65*60*60 = 1384.6 seconds.

Now the total energy needed for that is: Energy = Power * time = 15,000 * 1384.6 = 20769239.8 J.

The heat provides those J. The heat for a difference in temperature is:

Heat = mass * c_h * Difference_of_temperature,

Heat = 350 * 9,800 * (T-15)*0.88,

where the 0.88 is because some of the heat is lost, efficiency 88%. Now, you can equal both results and get T:

350*9,800*0.88*(T-15) = 20769239.8

T-15 = 6.88, and T = 21.88 C

The answer is T= 21.88 C

NB: this specific heat, 9,800, is more than 2,000 time sthat of water, it is really a substance that does not exist,. It seems He has the highest (5,300) but it's a gas!

Which word describes a goal that is poorly written?
stiv31 [10]

Abstract. Abstract is defined as an idea or plan but no actions are done

to pursue the idea. When setting goals, one must be certain and it should be attainable in order

to achieve the goal being set. Goals that are abstract

are often poorly written and uncertain
