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.

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

4A. How high is a 12 kg monkey in a tree if it has 509 J of gravitational potential Energy?
True [87]

4A. PE = MxGxH. (You can consider g as 9.8 / 10m/s as well)

509 J = 12x10xH

509 J = 120xH

H = 509/120

H = 4.24 m

Hope u got the answer....pls rate the answer if it is helpful for u....and I'm sorry I could not understand B part so I didn't do it.

Thank you
