Answer:
1) Mass that needs to be converted at 100% efficiency is 0.3504 kg
2) Mass that needs to be converted at 30% efficiency is 1.168 kg
Explanation:
By the principle of mass energy equivalence we have
where,
'E' is the energy produced
'm' is the mass consumed
'c' is the velocity of light in free space
Now the energy produced by the reactor in 1 year equals
Thus the mass that is covertred at 100% efficiency is
Part 2)
At 30% efficiency the mass converted equals
Answer:
Explanation:
Use the one-dimensional equation:
which says that the final velocity of a falling object is equal to its initial velocity times the acceleration of gravity times the time it takes to fall. We have the final velocity, -14.5 (negative because its direction is down and down is negative), initial velocity is 0 (because it was held still by someone before it was dropped), and acceleration is -9.8 (negative again, because direction is down while acceleration increases). Filling in:
-14.5 = 0 - 9.8t and
-14.5 = -9.8t so
t = 1.5 seconds
Consider two variables said to be "inversely proportional" to each other. If all other variables are held constant, the magnitude or absolute value of one inversely proportional variable decreases if the other variable increases, while their product (the constant of proportionality k) is always the same.
