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.

A large helium filled balloon is used as the center piece for a graduation party. The balloon alone has a mass of 222 kg and it
inn [45]

Answer:

The buoyant force is 3778.8 N in upward.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of balloon = 222 Kg

Volume = 328 m³

Density of air = 1.20 kg/m³

Density of helium = 0.179 kg/m³

We need to calculate the buoyant force acting

Using formula of buoyant force

F_{b}=\rho_{air}\times V_{b}\times g

Where, \rho_{air} = density of air

V = Volume of balloon

g = acceleration due to gravity

Put the value into the formula

F_{b}=1.20\times321\times9.81

F_{b}=3778.8\ N

This buoyant force is in upward direction.

Hence, The buoyant force is 3778.8 N in upward.
