Consider a household that uses 14,000 kWh of electricity and 900 gal of fuel oil, per year, during a heating season. The average

amount of CO2 produced is 26.4 lbm/gal of fuel oil and 1.54 lbm/kWh of electricity. If this household reduces its oil and electricity usage by 21 percent by implementing some energy conservation measures, determine the reduction in the amount of CO2 emissions by that household per year.

Answer:

9517.2 lbm

Explanation:

Electricity consumption = 14000 kWh/year

Fuel consumption = 900 gal/year

Amount of CO₂ produced per gallon = 26.4 lbm/gal

Amount of CO₂ produced per kWh = 1.54 lbm/kWh

Amount of CO₂ produced in one year

14000\times 1.54+900\times 26.4=45320\ lbm

Reduction would be

0.21\times 45320=9517.2\ lbm

The reduction in the amount of CO₂ produced is 9517.2 lbm

As an acapulco cliff diver drops to the water from a height of 42.0 m, his gravitational potential energy decreases by 27,500 j.
seraphim [82]

We know that potential energy is simply energy due to position which has the formula:

PE = mass * gravity * height

We know that mass * gravity is weight, therefore:

PE = weight * height

27500 J = weight * 42 m

<span>weight = 654.76 Newtons</span>

A force of 6N is exerted on a cart that is carrying a rock and produces an acceleration of 2 m/s2. If the cart has a mass of 1 k
vaieri [72.5K]
If you use the equation F=ma and re-arrange it to get m = F/a, you'll get the total mass. Then you have to subtract the mass of the cart from the total mass to get the mass of the rock. 

Thus, m = 6N over 2m/s^2. The total mass will then be 3kg. Subtracting 1kg from the total mass will then yield you 2kg, which is the mass of the rock. Hope this helps.

The amount of dissolved oxygen in water may decrease because of the 
Elanso [62]
<span>The amount of dissolved oxygen in water may decrease because of the increase in organic matter in the water. <span>Aquatic organisms breathe and use oxygen. Large amounts of oxygen are consumed by the decomposition of bacteria (when there are large amounts of dead matter to decompose, there will be a significant number of bacteria). Examples: dead organic matter (algae), wastewater, garden waste, oils and fats, all this results in a decrease in dissolved oxygen in the water.</span></span>

18. Un avión de rescate de animales que vuela hacia el este a 36.0 m/s deja caer una paca de
Alona [7]

Answer:

Definimos momento como el producto entre la masa y la velocidad

P = m*v

(tener en cuenta que la velocidad es un vector, por lo que el momento también será un vector)

Sabemos que el peso de la paca de heno es 175N, y el peso es masa por aceleración gravitatoria, entonces.

Peso = m*9.8m/s^2 = 175N

m = (175N)/(9.8m/s^2) = 17.9 kg

Ahora debemos calcular la velocidad de la paca justo antes de tocar el suelo.

Sabemos que la velocidad horizontal será la misma que tenía el avión, que es:

Vx = 36m/s

Mientras que para la velocidad vertical, usamos la conservación de la energía:

E = U + K

Apenas se suelta la caja, esta tiene velocidad cero, entonces su energía cinética será cero y la caja solo tendrá energía potencial (Si bien la caja tiene velocidad horizontal en este punto, por la superposición lineal podemos separar el problema en un caso horizontal y en un caso vertical, y en el caso vertical no hay velocidad inicial)

Entonces al principio solo hay energía potencial:

U = m*g*h

donde:

m = masa

g = aceleración gravitatoria

h = altura  

Sabemos que la altura inicial es 60m, entonces la energía potencial es:

U = 175N*60m = 10,500 N

Cuando la paca esta próxima a golpear el suelo, la altura h tiende a cero, por lo que la energía potencial se hace cero, y en este punto solo tendremos energía cinética, entonces:

10,500N = (m/2)*v^2

De acá podemos despejar la velocidad vertical justo antes de golpear el suelo.

√(10,500N*(2/ 17.9 kg)) = 34.25 m/s

La velocidad vertical es 34.25 m/s

Entonces el vector velocidad se podrá escribir como:

V = (36 m/s, -34.25 m/s)

Donde el signo menos en la velocidad vertical es porque la velocidad vertical es hacia abajo.

Reemplazando esto en la ecuación del momento obtenemos:

P = 17.9kg*(36 m/s, -34.25 m/s)  

P = (644.4 N, -613.075 N)
