A 34.0 %-efficient electric power plant produces 800 MW of electric power and discharges waste heat into 20∘C ocean water. Suppo

se the waste heat could be used to heat homes during the winter instead of being discharged into the ocean. A typical American house requires an average 20kW for heating.
How many homes could be heated with the waste heat of this onepower plant?

Answer:

77647

Explanation:

\eta = Efficiency = 34%

Power used in 1 home = 0.02 MW

Total power is

P=\dfrac{800}{\eta}\\\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{800}{0.34}\\\Rightarrow P=2352.94117\ MW

Waste of power

2352.94117-800=1552.94117\ W

Number of homes would be given by

n=\dfrac{1552.94117}{0.02}=77647.0585\ homes

The number of homes that could be heated with the waste heat of this one power plant is 77647

A tennis racket hits a tennis ball with a force of F=at−bt2, where a = 1290 N/ms , b = 330 N/ms2 , and t is the time (in millise
denpristay [2]

Answer:

The resulting velocity of the ball after it hits the racket was of V= 51.6 m/s

Explanation:

m= 55.6 g = 0.0556 kg

t= 2.8 ms = 2.8 * 10⁻³ s

F= 1290 N/ms * t - 330 N/ms² * t²

F= 1024.8 N

F*t= m * V

V= F*t/m

V= 51.6 m/s

Which would you expect to freeze faster pure water or salt solution why?
krek1111 [17]
Pure water.

A salt solution contains impurities whereas pure water will not contain any impurities.

Impurities increase the boiling point (freezing point) of a substance.

Thus, I would expect the pure water solution to freeze faster than the salt solution.
