How much carbon dioxide (co2) does natural gas emit compared with other fossil fuel

1 answer:

5 0

Natural gas is a fossil fuel, though the global warming emissions from its combustion are much lower than those from coal or oil. Natural gas emits 50 to 60 percent less carbon dioxide (CO2) when combusted in a new, efficient natural gaspower plant compared with emissions from a typical new coal plant.

A stone with a weight of 5.29 N is launched vertically from ground level with an initial speed of 26.0 m/s, and the air drag on

makkiz [27]

Answer:

a) 19.4 m/s

b) 19 m/s

Explanation:

a) In the given question,

the potential energy at the initial point = Ui = 0

the potential energy at the final point = Uf = mgh

the kinetic energy at the initial point = Ki = 1/2 mv₀².

the kinetic energy at the final point = Kf = 0

work done by air= Ea= fh = 0.262 N

Now, using the law of conservation of energy

initial energy= final energy

Ki +Ui = Kf + Uf +Ea

1/2 mv₀² + 0 = 0 + mgh + fh

1/2 mv₀² = mgh + fh

h = v₀²/ 2g (1 +f/w)

calculate m

m= w/g = 5.29 /9.8

= 0.54 kg

h = 20 ²/ (2 x9.80) x (1 0.265/5.29)

h = 19.4 m.

b) 1/2 mv² + 2fh = 1/2 mv₀²

Vg = 19 m/s

The platform height for Olympic divers is 10 m. A 60 kg diver steps off the platform to begin his dive.

azamat

Answer:

a) Ep = 5886[J]; b) v = 14[m/s]; c) W = 5886[J]; d) F = 1763.4[N]

Explanation:

The potential energy can be found using the following expression, we will take the ground level as the reference point where the potential energy is equal to zero.

$E_{p} =m*g*h\\where:\\m = mass = 60[kg]\\g = gravity = 9.81[m/s^2]\\h = elevation = 10 [m]\\E_{p}=60*9.81*10\\E_{p}=5886[J]$

Since energy is conserved, that is, potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy, the moment the harpsichord touches water, all potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy.

$E_{p} = E_{k} \\5886 =0.5*m*v^{2} \\v = \sqrt{\frac{5886}{0.5*60} }\\v = 14[m/s]$

The work is equal to

W = 5886 [J]

We need to use the following equation and find the deceleration of the diver at the moment when he stops his velocity is zero.

$v_{f} ^{2}= v_{o} ^{2}-2*a*d\\where:\\d = 2.5[m]\\v_{f}=0\\v_{o} =14[m/s]\\Therefore\\a = \frac{14^{2} }{2*2.5} \\a = 39.2[m/s^2]$

By performing a sum of forces equal to the product of mass by acceleration (newton's second law), we can find the force that acts to reduce the speed of the diver to zero.

m*g - F = m*a

F = m*a - m*g

F = (60*39.2) - (60*9.81)

F = 1763.4 [N]
