200 MBtu of heat

Explanation:

As provided in the question, heat supplying natural gas furnace operates at 60% efficiency. It means that out of 100 units of heat energy produced by the furnace, only 60 units of heat can be transferred.

Thereby as the demand of the heat energy is 120 MBtu, amount of gas that needs to be purchased equals-

∴ 60% of (cubic metres of gas that needs to be purchased) = 120 MBtu

⇒ (60/100) * gas = 120

⇒ Gas= 120*100/60

∴ Cubic metres of gas that needs to be purchased= 200MBtu

The work done is equal to the change in potential energy which is:
P.E = mgh
P.E = 500 x 9.81 x 15
P.E = 73,575 J

Power = work / time
Power = 73,575 / 20
Power = 3,700 Watts

A rock dropped on the moon will increase it's speed from 0 m/s to 8.15 m/s in about 5 seconds what is the acceleration of the ro
Lunna [17]

Using the formula:


a = (Vf - Vi) / t


Our initial velocity is 0 m/s, and our final velocity is 8.15 m/s, with a time period of 5 seconds:


a = (8.15 - 0.0) / 5

a = 1.63 m/s^2


If you know the acceleration due to gravity on the Moon, you can confirm this answer. The recorded gravitational acceleration on the Moon is 1.62 m/s^2.

What is the net charge (overall or sum of charges) of the nucleus and what number is it equal to?
polet [3.4K]
Because the nucleus is made up of positively charged protons and neutrally charged neutrons, and no negatively charged particles, the charge of the nucleus will always be equal to the sum of the charges of its protons. A simpler way to say it is because each proton has a +1 charge, the charge of the nucleus will be the same as the number of protons in it.

An object with a mass of m = 3.85 kg is suspended at rest between the ceiling and the floor by two thin vertical ropes.
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

The tension in the upper rope is determined as 50.53 N.

<h3>Tension in the upper rope</h3>

The tension in the upper rope is calculated as follows;

T(u) = T(d)+ mg

where;

  • T(u) is tension in upper rope
  • T(d) is tension in lower rope

T(u) = 12.8 N + 3.85(9.8)

T(u) = 50.53 N

Thus, the tension in the upper rope is determined as 50.53 N.

The gravitational force is s type of force that has the ability to attract any two objects having mass. The gravitational force will be 4.16\times10^{23}.

<h3>What is the gravitational force?</h3>

The gravitational force is s type of force that has the ability to attract any two objects with mass. Gravitational force tries to pull two masses towards each other.

                      F= G\frac{m_1m_2}{r^{2} }

Given,

mass of the sun (m_1)= 1.99\times10^{23} kg

mass of Jupiter(m_2)= 7.79\times10^{8} kg

distance between the sun and Jupiter (r)= 1.90\times10^{27} m

F= G\frac{m_1m_2}{r^{2} }\\\\\\F=4.16\times10^{23}\times\frac{1.99\times10^{23}\times7.79\times10^{8}}{({1.90\times10^{27})^2} }

F= 4.16\times(10)^{23}   Newton

Hence the gravitational force between the sun and Jupiter will be 4.16\times10^{23}
