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 wave has a wavelength of 3.3 m and a speed of 5.6 m/s. What is the frequency of this wave
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer: λ (wavelength) = 3.3 m →  ΔS = 3.3 m

v (speed) = 5.6 m/s → ΔV = 5.6 m/s

T (period) → ΔT = ?

f (frequency) = ?

If:

Now: (if, ΔT = T), Using the formula of the period of a wave, find the frequency:

A runaway railroad car, with mass 30x10^4 kg, coasts across a level track at 2.0 m/s when it collides with a spring loaded bumpe
Natalija [7]

Answer:

0.775 m

Explanation:

As the car collides with the bumper, all the kinetic energy of the car (K) is converted into elastic potential energy of the bumper (U):

U=K\\frac{1}{2}kx^2 = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

where we have

k=2\cdot 10^6 N/m is the spring constant of the bumper

x is the maximum compression of the bumper

m=30\cdot 10^4 kg is the mass of the car

v=2.0 m/s is the speed of the car

Solving for x, we find the maximum compression of the spring:

x=\sqrt{\frac{mv^2}{k}}=\sqrt{\frac{(30\cdot 10^4 kg)(2.0 m/s)^2}{2\cdot 10^6 N/m}}=0.775 m

The alternative to nuclear fission reactors in a nuclear fusion reactor. Explain why it is much more difficult to get a fusion r
Sliva [168]

Answer: The major challenges are as

1) understanding of the plasma: Plasma is a soup like mixture of subatomic particles of different atoms nuclei and electrons that are shattered apart by the temperature at which plasma is formed. further research is needed to understand the behavior of plasma so that it can be put to a proper use.

2) Confinement of plasma: Once we get the plasma we need to hold it so that we can obtain heat from it to drive a steam turbine but the sheer temperature of plasma is in millions of Celsius thus currently making it impossible to confine conventionally. Scientists use a loop of electric and magnetic fields to keep it in circulatory like manner so that it can be studied.

3) finally to obtain electricity from the plasma it should be stable to produce electricity. But currently to obtain pressure, temperature so that we have a sustained supply is highly difficult in technical and economical aspects.

Inertial confinement: In order to get the nuclei of atoms close enough for fusion this type of method used compression of the nuclei into highly small volumes.This is accomplished by use of lasers which are directed towards the fuel pellets that implode and travel towards other nuclei making fusion possible. It's main advantage is that it requires lesser time to initiate fusion but the disadvantage being that a large power is used to fire the lasers and the lasers should all hit the small target.

Magnetic Confinement: In this method we use a magnetic and electric fields in a properly designed space to keep the plasma in motion. In motion the nuclei of the atoms come close enough to initiate fusion.It's advantage being less power is required to start the process as compared to inertial confinement and the disadvantage being that plasma confinement is currently not properly understood.
