It turns out that most of the electricity we use in Ohio comes from burning coal. Coal yields about 30 Gigajoules (GJ = 109 J) o

f electricity per metric ton (1000 kg). Assuming that the coal plant is 30% efficient (i.e. the plant captures 30% of the energy converted by burning coal), how much total coal has to be burned to keep that 100 W light bulb lighted for the week?

Answer:

0.6048 kg of coal

Explanation:

Mass energy input = mass energy output/efficiency

Mass energy output = 30 GJ/ton= 3×10^10 J/1000 kg = 3×10^7 J/kg

Efficiency = 30% = 0.3

Mass energy input = 3×10^7/0.3 = 1×10^8 J

Mass of coal to be burned = power×time/mass energy input

Power = 100 W

Time = 1 week = 604,800 s

Mass of coal to be burned = 100×604,800/1×10^8 = 0.6048 kg

Luda [366]

Answer:

Force is repulsive hence direction of force is away from wire

Explanation:

The first thing will be to draw a figure showing the condition,

Lets takeI attractive force as +ve and repulsive force as - ve and thereafter calculating net force on outer left wire due to other wires, net force comes out to be - ve which tells us that force is repulsive, hence direction of force is away from wire as shown in figure in the attachment.

the train accelerates from 30 km/h to 45 km/h in 15 secs. a. find its acceleration. b. distance it travels during this time ...
Sonbull [250]
Acceleration = v-u/t
= (45-30)/15
= 1 km/h


Distance = ut + 1/2 at^2
s = [30 x 15]  + 1/2 x 1 x 15^2 
= 562.5 km

Hope this helps

1. As you get ready for bed, you roll up one of your socks into a tight ball and toss it into the laundry
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

When you toss a rolled up sock across the room, it travels faster as it becomes round and has more weight added on it and this causes the sock to travel in the direction you wish and this gives you a high chance of the sock going straight into the laundry basket, no matter how far away you are.

On the other hand, throwing a sock without rolling it up will cause the sock to just flat down as you throw it. It will travel at a low speed because it has no weight on it since it is flat, and if you try to throw it, it will atleast land 21 cm away from you. About a 0% chance of it getting in the basket.

Hope this helped! =>
