Quantity of charge unloaded = 51.9 Coulombs

Potential difference = 10.93 megavolts = 1.093 x 10⁷ volts

1 volt = 1 joule per coulomb

1.093 x 10⁷ volts = 1.093 x 10⁷ joules per coulomb

Energy = (1.093 x 10⁷ J/C) x (51.9 C)

Energy = 567.267 megaJoules

That's <em>5.67 x 10⁸ Joules</em> .

==> My wife's blow-dryer is marked 1260 watts.

If the energy in this lightning strike could be collected, bottled, stored, and used as needed, it could run my wife's blow-dryer for 125 hours.  That would save us more than $30 on our electric bill !

Roller coasters accelerates from initial speed of 6.0 M/S2 final speed of 70 M/S over four seconds. What is the acceleration?
choli [55]

Answer:

a=16\ m/s^2

Explanation:

<u>Motion With Constant Acceleration </u>

It's a type of motion in which the velocity of an object changes uniformly in time.

The formula to calculate the change of velocities is:

v_f=v_o+at

Where:

a   = acceleration

vo = initial speed

vf  = final speed

t    = time

The roller coaster moves from vo=6 m/s to vf=70 m/s in t=4 seconds. To calculate the acceleration, solve for a:

\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f-v_o}{t}

\displaystyle a=\frac{70-6}{4}=\frac{64}{4}

\boxed{a=16\ m/s^2}

A typical nuclear fission power plant produces about 1.00 GW of electrical power. Assume the plant has an overall efficiency of
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

mass consumed by 235U each day = 2 kg

Explanation:

electrical power produced = 1 GW = 1 × 10⁹ × (6.24151 × 10¹⁸ ) eV

                                            = 6.24151× 10²¹ MeV/s

thermal energy =  0.420 * 250 = 105 MeV

\dfrac{1 GW}{150 MeV}= \dfrac{6.24151\times 10^{21}}{105}

                                      = 5.94 × 10¹⁹ fission/second

                                       =5.94 × 10¹⁹× 24 × 60 ×60)

                                      =  5.13 × 10²⁴ fission/day

mu = 235.04393 ×  1.660× 10 ⁻²⁷ = 390.1729× 10⁻²⁷ Kg

M = mu ×5.13 × 10²⁴

   = 390.1729× 10⁻²⁷ ×5.13 × 10²⁴

M   =  2 kg(approx.)

mass consumed by 235U each day = 2 kg
