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.

What best describes the speed of light waves in solids, liquids, and gases?
hammer [34]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Generally, the speed of light slows down when passing through a medium that is not a vacuum. This is not always the case, but I will be ignoring the rare/exotic exceptions. Light has a harder time traveling through solids and liquids than it does with gases.

Answer:

E = 3.8 kJ

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of the object, m = 10 g = 0.01 kg

The heat of fusion of  aluminum is 380 kJ/kg

We need to find the energy required to melt the mass of the aluminium. It can be calculated as follows:

E = mL

So,

E = 0.01 × 380

E = 3.8 kJ

So, the energy required to melt the mass is equal 3.8 kJ.

There is a bell at the top of a tower that is 45 m high. The bell weighs 190 N. The bell has ____________
salantis [7]

Answer:

The bell has a potential energy of 8550 [J]

Explanation:

Since the belt is 45 [m] above ground level, only potential energy is available. And this energy can be calculated by means of the following equation.

E_{p}= W*h\\E_{p} = 190*45\\E_{p}=8550[J]

7. Nancy has a mass of 60 kg and sits on the very end of a 3.00 m long plank pivoted in the middle. How much torque must her co-
netineya [11]

Answer:

Torque = 882Nm

Explanation:

Torque = Mg×distance

But plank's is pivoted ,therefore distance=3/2=1.5m

Mass of Nancy=60jg

Acceleration due to gravity, g=9.8m/s^2

Torque= 60×9.8×1.5

Torque= 882Nm
