Answer:

No

Explanation:

The energy content of gasoline is

44\cdot  10^6 J/kg

while the density is

670 kg/m^3

So the energy density of gasoline is

u = (44\cdot 10^6 J/kg)(670 kg/m^3)=2.95\cdot 10^{10} J/m^3

The energy density of an electric field is given by

u_E = \frac{1}{2}\epsilon_0 E^2

where

\epsilon_0 = 8.85\cdot 10^{-12} F/m is the vacuum permittivity

E is the strength of the electric field

For air at dielectric breakdown,

E=3 MV/m = 3\cdot 10^6 V/m

Substituting into the equation,

u_E = \frac{1}{2}(8.85\cdot 10^{-12})(3\cdot 10^6)^2=39.8 J/m^3

We see that u_E < u, so the energy density of the electric field is much lower than the energy content of gasoline, so the answer is No.

tatuchka [14]

Answer:

Q' = 115.2 KJ

Explanation:

Given that

Current I = 10 A

Voltage = 120 V

Time t= 120 s

The energy supplied Q= V I t

Q= 10 x 120 x 120 J

Q= 144 x 1000 J

Q= 144 KJ

The change in the energy ΔEngg = 28.8 kJ

By using energy conservation

Q= Q' +  ΔEngg

Q'=Wasted energy

Now by putting the values in the above equation

144 = Q' + 28.8 KJ

Q' = 115.2 KJ

Therefore the waste energy will be 115 kJ.

How much heat is contained in 100 kg of water at 60.0 °C?
attashe74 [19]
First we need to write down heat capacity for water which is constant.
cp=4186 J/(kg*K)

The equation for Energy that we will be calculating is:

E=cp*m*T
where m is mass and T is absolute temperature (273,15 + 60 in this case). Replacing all the values in equation we get:

E = 4186*100*333,15 = 139 456 590 J

pashok25 [27]

Compared with the amount of current in the filament of a lamp, the amount of current in the connecting wire is

D. the same.

As per the rule, the amount of current in devices connected in series is equal. here in the given situation , the wire is in series with the filament. that is the reason that the current in filament and wire is same.

hence the correct choice is D)

On the Newtonian theory of gravity, gravitation affects anything with mass. Assuming that none of the answer choices is the only thing that exists in the universe, all of the answer choices are subject to the law of universal gravitation (hence “universal”).

Satellites, water, frogs, and stars all have mass as they are all composed of matter. Thus, all four answer choices should be circled.
