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.

How many seconds will it take for a the International Space Station to travel 450 km at a rate of 100 m/s?
SVEN [57.7K]

Time = (distance) / (speed)

<em></em>

Time = (450 km) / (100 m/s)

Time = (450,000 m) / (100 m/s)

Time = <em>4500 seconds </em>(that's 75 minutes)

Note:

This is about HALF the speed of the passenger jet you fly in when you go to visit Grandma for Christmas.

If the International Space Station flew at this speed, it would immediately go ker-PLUNK into the ocean.

The speed of the International Space Station in its orbit is more like 3,100 m/s, not 100 m/s.

Triangle XYZ has vertices X(0, 2), Y(4, 4), and Z(3, –1). Graph △XYZ and its image after a rotation of 180° about (2, –3).
Alla [95]

The image of the triangle is to be formed by rotating ΔXYZ 180 degrees about the (2, -3) as shown in the graph.

<h3>What is Geometry?</h3>

It deals with the size of geometry, region, and density of the different forms both 2D and 3D.

Triangle XYZ has vertices X(0, 2), Y(4, 4), and Z(3, –1).

If the triangle is ΔXYZ. Then the image of the triangle is to be formed by rotating ΔXYZ 180 degrees about the (2, -3) as shown in the graph.

More about the geometry link is given below.

Suppose a uniform electric field of 4 N/C is in the positive x direction. When a charge is placed at and fixed to the origin, th
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

E_total = 3 N / A

Explanation:

The electric field is a vector magnitude so when adding we must use vectors, in this case as the initial field E = 4N / c goes towards the axis axis and the field created by the fixed charge (E1) is also on the axis x we can add in scalar form.

               E_total = E + E₁

the expression for the field of a point charge is

                E₁ = k q₁ / r²

for the point x = 2m, they do not say that the total field is zero, so the charge q1 must be negative

                 E_total = E -k q₁ / r₂

we substitute

                   0 = E - k q₁ / r²

                   q₁ = \frac{E r^2}{k}

let's calculate

                   q₁ = \frac{4 \ 2^2}{9 \ 10^{-9}}

                   q₁ = 1.78 10⁻⁹ C

now we can calculate the field for position x = 4 m

                   E_total = 4 - 9 10⁹  1.78 10⁻⁹ / 4²2

                   E_total = 3 N / A

barxatty [35]

Answer:

In two significant figure 360K

Explanation:

The temperature difference (ΔT) can be calculated as the boiling temperature minus the freezing temperature in Fahrenheit.

Hence,

ΔT = 212 - 32

ΔT = 180°F

To convert to °F to kelvin, we use the formula below

= (°F - 32) × 5/9 + 273.15

= (180°F - 32) × 5/9 + 273.15

= 355.37K ⇔ 360K
