Consider a household that uses 14,000 kWh of electricity and 900 gal of fuel oil, per year, during a heating season. The average

amount of CO₂ produced is 26.4 lbm/gal of fuel oil and 1.54 lbm/kWh of electricity. If this household reduces its oil and electricity usage by 21 percent by implementing some energy conservation measures, determine the reduction in the amount of CO₂ emissions by that household per year.

Answer:

reduction in the amount of CO₂ emissions by that household per year is 9517.2 lbm per year

Explanation:

given data

electricity consume = 14000 kWh

fuel consume = 900 gal

CO₂ produced of fuel = 26.4 lbm/gal

CO₂ produced of electricity  = 1.54 lbm/kWh

oil and electricity usage = 21 percent

to find out

the reduction in the amount of CO₂ emissions

solution

we calculate the amount of CO₂ produce here that is

amount of CO₂ produce = ( electricity consume×CO₂ produce electricity + fuel consume × CO₂ consume fuel )    ........................1

put here value

amount of CO₂ produce = ( 14000 × 1.54 + 900 × 26.4 )  

amount of CO₂ produce = 45320 lbm/yr

we know reduction is 21%

so

reduction in amount of CO₂ produced is

reduction in CO₂ produced = 45320 × 21%

reduction in CO₂ produced = 9517.2 lbm per year

so reduction in the amount of CO₂ emissions by that household per year is 9517.2 lbm per year

A maintenance worker wants to torque an engine bolt to 65.0 N m. If the torque wrench is 35cm in length, what is force applied t
harina [27]

Answer:

Force = 186 N

Explanation:

Torque is the rotational equivalent of linear force. It can be easely calculated using the formula :

Torque = \vec{r} \times \vec{F}

Where \vec{r} is a vector that from the origin of the coordinate system to the point at which the force is applied (the position vector), \vec{F} is the applied force.

The easiest way of computing the force is by setting the origin of the coordinate system to the lowest point of the torque wrench.  By doing this we have that r (the magnitud of the position vector) is 35cm.

Before computing the force we need to set all our values to the international system of units (SI). The torque is already in SI. The one missing is the length of the torque wrench (it is in centimeters and we need it in meters). So :

35cm * \dfrac{1m}{100cm} = 0.35m

Now using the torque formula:

Torque = \vec{r} \times \vec{F}

Torque = rFsin(\theta)}

Where \theta is the smaller angle between the force and the position vector. Because the force is applied perpendiculary to the position vector  \theta = 90°, thus :

Torque = rFsin(\theta)}

65 N m = (0.35m)Fsin(90°)}

F = \dfrac{65N m} {(0.35m)sin(90°)}

F = \dfrac{65N m} {(0.35m)sin(90°)}

F = \dfrac{1300} {7}N

so the force is approximately 186 N.

If a car used 260.000 W of power to complete a race in 15 s. how much work did the car do?
marta [7]

Work done by the car is 3900 J

Explanation:

  • Power and work are related by the equation, Power = Work Done/Time
  • Power is the rate at which work is done.
  • Here, the car uses power of 260 W and time taken is 15 s.

Work Done = Power × Time

                   = 260 × 15 = 3900 J
