Answer:

In terms of energy conversion/transformation the generator that produces 40 kilowatts of power will consume twice as much fuel than a generator that produces 20 watts because the more electrical power produced by an electrical generator, the more fuel is consumed. The amount of electrical energy produced is directly proportional to the fuel consumed.  

Explanation:

Energy transformation is the conversion of energy from one form to another. Their are various forms of energy namely kinetic energy, electric energy, mechanical energy , chemical energy , solar energy, heat energy , nuclear energy. These energy can be transformed from one form to another . Example our body convert chemical energy through food we eat to mechanical energy.  

The generator transforms  mechanical energy into electrical energy . The kilowatts tells you the amount of power the generator produces .The energy is measured in kilowatts per hour which is the power used over a period of time.

In terms of energy conversion/transformation the generator that produces 40 kilowatts of power will consume twice as much fuel than a generator that produces 20 watts because the more electrical power produced by an electrical generator, the more fuel is consumed. The amount of electrical energy produced is directly proportional to the fuel consumed.   So far the generator conversion efficiency are equal  for both generators the generator with the higher power generation will consume more fuel per hour.

25 gallons of an incompressible liquid exert a force of 70 lbf at the earth’s surface. What force in lbf would 6 gallons of this
jekas [21]

Answer:

froce by 6 gallon liquid on moon surface is  2.86 lbf

Explanation:

given data:

at earth surface

volume of an incompressible liquid = Ve = 25 gallons

force by liquid = 70 lbf

on moon

volume of  liquid = Vm = 6 gallons

gravitational acceleration on moon is am = 5.51 ft/s2

Due to incompressibility , the density remain constant.

mass of liquid on surface of earth= \frac{ force}{ acceleration}

mass = \frac{70lbf}{32.2 ft/s2}

mass = 2.173 pound

density \rho = \frac{mass}{volume}

                  = \frac{2.173}{25} = 0.0869 pound/ gallon

froce by 6 gallon liquid on moon surface is

Fm = mass * acceleration

      = density* volume * am

      = 0.0869 *6* 5.51

      = 2.86 lbf

Aiman is 80 inches tall. How tall is Aiman in centimeters? Show your work.
harkovskaia [24]
203.2 centimeters.
This is because 1 inch = 2.54 centimeters which means multiply 80 inches X 2.54 = 203.2 centimeters.
