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

¿Qué características debe tener el movimiento de una persona para que el valor del desplazamiento sea igual al de la distancia r
SIZIF [17.4K]

Explanation:

What characteristics must the movement of a person have so that the value of the displacement is equal to the distance traveled?

Displacement is equal to the shortest path covered by an object. It is given by the difference of final position and the initial position.

Distance is equal to the total path covered by an object during the journey.

When an object moves in a straight line path, in this case, the displacement is equal to the distance traveled.

Volcanoes that have fast flowing liquid lava will be narrow like a river
vodomira [7]

Answer:

Shield volcanoes, the third type of volcano, are built almost entirely of fluid lava flows. Flow after flow pours out in all directions from a central summit vent, or group of vents, building a broad, gently sloping cone of flat, domical shape, with a profile much like that of a warrior's shield.

You decide to roll a 0.11-kgkg ball across the floor so slowly that it will have a small momentum and a large de Broglie wavelen
Oksanka [162]

The de Broglie wavelength \lambda = 4.0\times 10^{-30}m

We know that

de Broglie wavelength = \lambda = \frac{h}{mv}\lambda = \frac{6.63\times 10^{-34}}{0.11\times 1.5 \times 10 ^{-3}}

\lambda = 4.0\times 10^{-30}m

<h3>What is de Broglie wavelength?</h3>

According to the de Broglie equation, matter can behave like waves, much like how light and radiation do, which are both waves and particles. A beam of electrons can be diffracted just like a beam of light, according to the equation. The de Broglie equation essentially clarifies the notion of matter having a wavelength.

Therefore, whether a particle is tiny or macroscopic, it will have a wavelength when examined.

The wave nature of matter can be seen or observed in the case of macroscopic objects.

What factors affect the speed of water waves
Aneli [31]
Hey there,

Your question states: What factors affect the speed of water waves
Let's get one thing out the way, (wavelength) does NOT affect the the speed of water. If anything, it would be how high the wavelength's are. The higher the wavelengths are, the more that it would affect the speed, because there very high, but if it were to go longer on the width side, that would increase the speed, but that's not the case. Your correct answer would be (higher wavelength).

Hope this really helps you.
