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

In the graph, which region shows nonuniform positive acceleration?
cricket20 [7]

Answer: A.AB

Explanation:

This Velocity vs Time graph shows the acceleration of a body or object, since acceleration is the variation of velocity in time.

As we can see in the attached image, the graph can be divided in four segments:

OA: In this segment the acceleration is changing at a uniform rate. In addition we can see it has a positive slope, hence we are dealing with a positive uniform acceleration.

AB: In this segment the acceleration is changing at a nonuniform rate, since  in this part it is not possible to calculate the slope. However if this were uniform, the slope woul be positive. This means the <u>acceleration is nonuniform and positive.</u>

BC: In this segment the acceleration is changing at a nonuniform rate, since  in this part it is not possible to calculate the slope. However if this were uniform, the slope woul be negative. This means the acceleration is nonuniform and negative.

CD: In this segment the acceleration is changing at a uniform rate. In addition we can see it has a negative slope, hence we are dealing with a negative uniform acceleration.

From all these segments, the only one that fulfils the nonuniform positive acceleration condition is option A:

Segment AB

What accounts for most of the mass in the universe?
aev [14]
Around 80 percent  of the mass of the universe is made up material known as "Dark matter". It does not emit light or energy but the influence of it can be detected or observed gravitationally. Motions of stars and galaxy tell us how much mater there is, but somehow the speed of rotation of galaxy does not add up to its mass alone, there is a certain amount of matter really not accounted for. Dark matter maybe made up of non-baryonic matter, or perhaps what scientist called the WIMPS or (weakly interacting massive particles.)
