Answer:

24.72 kwh

Explanation:

Electric energy=potential energy=mgz where m is mass, g is acceleration due to gravity and z is the elevation.

Substituting the given values while taking g as 9.81 and dividing by 3600 to convert to per hour we obtain

PE=(108*9.81*84)/3600=24.72 kWh

What is the weight density of a 2.24 in diameter titanium sphere that weights 0.82 lb?
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

0.14\ lb/in^{3}

Explanation:

Density is defined as mass ler unit volume, expressed as

\rho=\frac {m}{v}

Where m is mass, \rho is density and v is the volume. For a sphere, volume is given as

v=\frac {4\pi r^{3}}{3}

Replacing this into the formula of density then

\rho=\frac {m}{\frac {4\pi r^{3}}{3}}

Given diameter of 2.24 in then the radius is 1.12 in. Substituting 0.82 lb for m then

\rho=\frac {0.82}{\frac {4\pi 1.12^{3}}{3}}=0.13932044952427\approx 0.14 lb/in^{3}

When removing a diesel engine from a truck, Technician A says it is OK to disconnect an air con­ditioning hose, but the refriger
agasfer [191]

Answer:

Technician B is right.

Explanation:

Air conditioning refrigerant contains Freon R22 and R410a, which have been linked to environmental damages, including ozone depletion, global warming, and energy-inefficiency.  For environmentally-savvy entities and individuals, there is the modern move to a more environment-friendly refrigerant, known as R-32.   Technician A's advice to vent the refrigerant outside the shop is in bad taste.  He does not seem to be aware of the environmental footprint of such an action.  Venting gas outside, in addition to the environmental damages, is also a waste of resources, and therefore, costly.  This is why Technician B's advice should be preferred.
