Calculate the rate of heat generation in kW due to the burning of the fuel when you drive a car rated at 34 MPG (miles per gallo

n) at a speed of 70 MPH (miles per hour), given that the heating value of gasoline, that is the heat generated when a unit mass of gasoline is burnt in air is 44 x 103 kJ/kg.

Answer:

Explanation:

Let us calculate gallon used in one hour .

It travels 70 miles in one hour

in 70 miles it uses 70 / 34 gallons of fuel

70 / 34 gallons = 70 / 34 x 3.7854 kg

= 7.8 kg

heat generated = 7.8 x 44 x 10⁶ J

= 343.2 x 10⁶ J

This is heat generated in one hour

heat generated in one second = 343.2 x 10⁶ / 60 x 60 J/s

= 95.33 x 10³ J /s

= 95.33 kW.

An electron of mass 9.11 1031 kg has an initial speed of 3.00 105 m/s. It travels in a straight line, and its speed increases to
elena55 [62]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of an electron, m=9.11\times 10^{-31}\ kg

Initial speed of the electron, u=3\times 10^5\ m/s

Final speed of the electron, v=7\times 10^5\ m/s

Distance, d = 5 cm = 0.05 m

(a) The acceleration of the electron is calculated using the third equation of motion as :

a=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2d}

a=\dfrac{(7\times 10^5)^2-(3\times 10^5)^2}{2\times 0.05}

a=4\times 10^{12}\ m/s^2

Force exerted on the electron is given by :

F=m\times a

F=9.11\times 10^{-31}\times 4\times 10^{12}

F=3.64\times 10^{-18}\ N

(b) Let W is the weight of the electron. It can be calculated as :

W=mg

W=9.11\times 10^{-31}\times 9.8

W=8.92\times 10^{-30}\ N

Comparison,

\dfrac{F}{W}=\dfrac{3.64\times 10^{-18}}{8.92\times 10^{-30}}

\dfrac{F}{W}=4.08\times 10^{11}

Hence, this is the required solution.

pickupchik [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

All substances have characteristic physical and chemical properties. Physical properties are those that can be observed with the senses without changing the identity of the substance. Chemical properties describe how a substance can be changed into a new substance. Physical and chemical properties, such as color, density, boiling point, solubility, conductivity, and flammability, A. are always different between substances. B. depend on the amount of the substance. C. do not depend on the amount of the substance. D. have the same values for all substances.
