A power station burns 75 kilograms of coal per second. Each kg of coal contains 27 million joules of energy.

Physics
1 answer:
Kaylis [27]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

one kg of coal gives energy of 27 x 10⁶ J

75 kg of coal gives energy of 27 x 10⁶ x 75 J

So rate which energy is coming out of coal per second

= 27 x 10⁶ x 75 J

= 2025 x 10⁶ J /s

2025 million watts .

b ) energy output = 800 million watts

efficiency = (800 / 2025) x 100

= 39.5 % .

Which fossil fuel is produced as a by-product that occurs when bacteria decompose organic material under anaerobic conditions?
Mumz [18]

Bio-gas is the naturally produced fossil fuel, a by-product when bacteria decompose organic material under anaerobic conditions.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Organic matter particularly waste material is broken down by bacteria through fermentation in an environmental condition without any presence of oxygen. This process of decomposition leads to formation of bio-gas with "carbon dioxide and methane" in a 2:3 ratio.

The above biological process is termed as bio-digestion or anaerobic digestion. Methane is flammable and thus bio-gas can be used as "energy source", a waste-to-energy transformation. The remaining decomposed matter is ideal as manure for plants due to its rich nutrient level.

a ball is shot from the ground straight up into the air with initial velocity of 50 50 ft/sec. assuming that the air resistance
Anna [14]

The height attained by the ball is 11.86m

a ball is shot from the ground straight up into the air its initial and final velocity is

initial velocity, u = 50 ft/s = 50×0.305  = 15.25m/s

final velocity ,v = 0 m/s

gravity =-9.8 m/s²

( negative sign shows acceleration in opposite direction)

height =?

using the newton motion of equation

v² = u² + 2as

where

a= acceleration due to gravity(g)

s = height

v² = u² + 2gs

(0)² = (15.25)² + 2×(-9.8)×s

0  = (15.25)² -  19.6 × s

s= - (15.25)²/ 19.6

s = 11.86m

after ignoring the air resistance the maximum height of the ball is 11.86m

A girl pushes her little brother on his sled with a force of 200. N for 850. m. How much work is this iſ the fored
Eddi Din [679]

Explanation:

Given that,

A girl pushes her little brother on his sled with a force of 200. N for 850. m

We need to find the work done by the force of friction acting on the sled. The force of friction is 200 N

Net force = 200 N - 200 N = 0

Work done = 0

If force of friction is 300 N.

Net force = 300 N - 200 N = 100 N

The work done by a force is given by :

W = Fd

Put values,

W = 100 × 850

W = 85000 J

Hence, this is the required solution.

Wave 1 carries more energy than Wave 2. Wave 3 carries more energy than Wave 2. Keeping speed constant, the greatest amount of e
inn [45]

Answer:

<em>The greatest amount of energy is carried by a wave with the  largest frequency.</em>

Explanation:

<em>velocity= frequency X wavelength </em>

<em>If the three waves moves with the same t the speed of light, then those with the largest frequency have more energy. </em>

<em>That is to say,  a wave with a higher frequency and a  lower  wavelength will have the highest energy.</em>
