How fast is a car going if it accelerates at 10m/s/s for 4 seconds

how much water is needed to produce 1kwh of electricity at a power plant that is 30% efficient if the temperature increase 10 C

Dimas [21]

The amount of water needed is 287 kg

Explanation:

The amount of energy that we need to produce with the power plant is

$E=1 kWh = (1000W)(1h)=(1000W)(3600s)=3.6\cdot 10^6 J$

We also know that the power plant is only 30% efficient, so the energy produced in input must be:

$E_{in}=\frac{E}{0.30}=\frac{3.6\cdot 10^6}{0.3}=1.2\cdot 10^7 J$

The amount of water that is needed to produce this energy can be found using the equation

$E_{in}=mC\Delta T$

where:

m is the amount of water

$C=4186 J/kg^{\circ}C$ is the specific heat capacity of water

$\Delta T=10^{\circ}C$ is the increase in temperature

And solving for m, we find:

$m=\frac{E_{in}}{C\Delta T}=\frac{1.2\cdot 10^7}{(4186)(10)}=287 kg$

A weightlifter curls a 30 kg bar, raising it each time a distance of 0.60 m. How many times must he repeat this exercise to burn

Sholpan [36]

Answe

given,

mass of the bar, m = 30 Kg

distance of rise, h = 0.60 m

Assuming the efficiency = 25 %

energy from the pizza slice = 300 C = 1260 kJ

To consume Energy from the pizza bar is to be pulled several number of time.

( energy from pizza ) x (efficiency) = n m g h

n is the number of lift

( 1260 x 10³) x (0.25) = n x 30 x 9.8 x 0.6

$n = \dfrac{315\times 10^3}{176.4}$

n = 1786 times.

Weightlifter should lift bar 1786 times to burn off the energy.

A wagon is pulled at a speed of 0.40metets/seconds by a horse exerting an 1,800 Newton's horizontal force. what is the power of

Tatiana [17]

Given:

speed of 0.40meters/seconds

1,800 Newton's horizontal force

Required:

Power of the horse

Solution:

P = F(D/T) where P is power in watts, F is the force, D is the distance and T is time

P = (1,800N) (0.40 meters/seconds)

P = 720 Watts

Briefly describe the difference between the behaviorist, nativist, and interactionist language acquisition theories.

Over [174]

Answer:

Described below

Explanation:

- The behaviorist theories: This theory is of the claim that language is learned through the means of reinforcement and imitation. This means that little children can mimic the language of individuals around them and also receive reinforcement to correct the formation of their words. Thereafter, words not reinforced will eventually no longer be in use.

- The nativist theories: This theory is of the claim that individuals possess an innate process which is used in language learning and is widely known as "language acquisition device" (LAD). This device is used to assist in helping them automatically learn languages.

-The interactionist theories: This theory is of the claim that innate processes which is also referred to as genetic predispositions and learning experiences from the environment both help in language development.
