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

A point charge of 5.7 µc moves at 4.5 × 105 m/s in a magnetic field that has a field strength of 3.2 mt, as shown in the diagram

Sauron [17]

The magnitude of the force on the charge by the influence of the magnetic field will be 6.6*10^-3 N

<h3>What is magnetic force?</h3>

Magnetic force, attraction or repulsion that arises between electrically charged particles because of their motion.The magnitude of the magnetic force acting on the charge is given by:

$\rm F=qvBsin\theta$

where

The magnitude of the charge $q=5.7\ \mu C =5.7\times 10^{-6} \ C$

The velocity of the charge $v=4.5\times 10^5\ \frac{m}{s}$

The magnitude of the magnetic field $3.2\ mT=0.0032\ T$

The angle between the directions of v and B $\theta =90^o-37^o=53^o$

By substituting the values we will get:

$F=(5.7\times 10^}-6})(4.5\times 10^5)(0.0032)(Sin53^o)$

$F=6.6\times 10^{-3}\ N$

Hence the magnitude of the force on the charge by the influence of the magnetic field will be 6.6*10^-3 N

A binary star system consists of two equal mass stars that revolve in circular orbits about their center of mass. The period of

Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

$m = 2.23 \times 10^{-32} kg$

Explanation:

Given data:

PERIOD OF MOTION IS T = 25.5 days

orbital speeds = 220 km/s

we know that

acceleration due to centripetal force is $a = \frac{F}{m} = \frac{V^2}{r}$

Gravitational force $F= \frac{Gm m}{d^2}$

we know that

$v = \frac{2\pi R}{T}$

solving for

$R = \frac{vT}{2\pi}$

$F = \frac{Gm^2}{4(\frac{vT}{2\pi})^2}$

$F = G\times \frac{\pi m}{(vT)^2}$

$a = \frac{v^2}{\frac{vT}{2\pi}}$

$a = \frac{2\pi v}{T}$

we know that

f =ma

$G\times \frac{\pi m}{(vT)^2} = a = \frac{2\pi m v}{T}$

solving for m

$m = \frac{2Tv^3}{\pi G}$

$m = \frac{2\times 25.5 \times 86400 \times 220000^3\ m/s}{\pi \times 6.67\times 10^{-11}}$

$m = 2.23 \times 10^{-32} kg$

When the frequency of an ac circuit is decreased, the current in the circuit increases. which combination of elements is most li

zaharov [31]

Answer:

The combination of elements most likely to comprise the circuit are resistor, inductor and capacitor

Explanation:

The impedance of an LCR circuit shown as

Z = √R² + (X↓l - X↓c)²

Z = √R² + (2π∨L - 1/2π∨c)²

Variation of Z with respect to υ is shown in the figure.

As υ increases, Z decreases and so the current increases.

At υ = υ↓r

Z is minimum, current is maximum. Beyond

υ = υ↓r

Z increases and so current decreases.

so the combination of circuit elements that is most suitable to comprise

the circuit is R, L and C.

Among the alkali earth metals, the tendency to react with other substances

padilas [110]

Answer D
In alkali earth metals reacrivity increases from top to bottom (opposite of b)
This is because as you go down, the electron shells increase by 1 shell. The farther away a shell is from the nucleus, the higher its tendency to react.
D is true because the more reactive an alkali metal is, the more vigorous the reaction will be with water.

In physics what does 7.56 × 5.746 equal ?

lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

43.43

Explanation:

5.746 x 7.56 = 43.43976

As the least number of desimal is two so our awnser should contain two digits after the decimal point.

Ans: 43.43.
