4.472 tonnes of coal burned

Explanation:

The electricity consumption for a typical house in the United States for a year is approximated as 11,000 kWh.

Given that a typical coal-fired power plant produces 2,460 kWh of electricity  per ton of coal burned then;

2460 kWh = 1 ton of coal burned

11,000 kWh =?

cross-product

(11,000*1)÷ 2460 = 4.472 tonnes of coal burned

the weight of a piece of stone when fully immersed in water is 18N and it displaces 4N of water. what is the weight of the stone
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

4N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Weight of stone when immersed in water  = 18N

Weight of water displaced  = 4N

Unknown:

Weight of the stone in air  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we employ the Archimedes' principles.

It states that the upward buoyant force on a body is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced.

The weight of the water displaced is equal to the weight of the body.

So, the weight of the stone in air  = 4N

A spring is hung from the ceiling. When a block is attached to its end, it stretches 2.5 cm before reaching its new equilibrium
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

0.99Hz

Explanation:

Using F= -mx ( spring force)

At equilibrium the gravitational force will be balanced by the spring force so mg= kx

K= mg/ 0.25 N/m

But

Frequency f= 1/2pi √g/0.25

Frequency is 0.99Hz
