An automobile with an internal combustion engine converts the potential energy of gasoline (44 MJ/kg) into the kinetic energy of

the moving pistons. If the average internal combustion engine is 10 percent efficient and 1 kg of gasoline is combusted, how much potential energy is converted into energy to run the pistons?

Answer:

4.4 MJ

Explanation:

We are given that an automobile with an internal combustion engine converts the potential energy of gasoline into kinetic energy of the moving piston.

1 kg of gasoline gives energy=44 MJ.

Average internal combustion engine =10 % efficient

We have to find how much potential energy is converted into energy to run the pistons.

10% of 44 =\frac{10}{100}\times 44=4.4 MJ

Since 10% is efficient of internal combustion.

Therefore, 4.4 MJ potential energy is converted  into energy to run the pistons.

How long does a player sit out of a game of handball for committing a second or third foul?
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

Walking’ - If a handball player takes more than three steps without dribbling (bouncing the ball) or holds the ball for more than 3 seconds without bouncing it, shooting or passing, then that is deemed ‘walking' and possession is lost.

'Double dribble’ - Handball players cannot receive the ball and bounce it, then hold the ball, and bounce it again. This is termed ‘double dribble’ and is against the rules.

What event triggered the dramatic increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration seen over the last couple of centuries? a
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

a) the Tunguska meteoric impact

Explanation:

The Tunguska Event, sometimes known as the Tungus Meteorite is thought to have resulted from an asteroid or comet entering the earth's atmosphere and exploding. The event released as much energy as fifteen one-megaton atomic bombs. As well as blasting an enormous amount of dust into the atmosphere, felling 60 million trees over an area of more than 2000 square kilometres. Shaidurov suggests that this explosion would have caused "considerable stirring of the high layers of atmosphere and change its structure." Such meteoric disruption was the trigger for the subsequent rise in global temperatures

According to Vladimir Shaidurov of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the apparent rise in average global temperature recorded by scientists over the last hundred years or so could be due to atmospheric changes that are not connected to human emissions of carbon dioxide from the burning of natural gas and oil.
