Answer:

3000 kJ/kg

Explanation:

The calorific value of a substance is the amount of heat produced per unit mass by the combustion of the substance.

It is given by:

C=\frac{Q}{m}

where

Q is the amount of heat released

m is the mass of the fuel

In this problem, we have:

m = 60 kg is the mass of fuel

Q=180,000 kJ is the amount of heat released

Therefore, the calorific value of the fuel is:

C=\frac{180,000}{60}=3000 kJ/kg

Why is thermal energy from the sun transferred to Earth through electromagnetic waves, instead of any other type of thermal ener
nlexa [21]

Answer: B) Electromagnetic waves can travel through empty space.

Explanation:

Conduction: This type of heat transfer happens when there is direct contact between the two object.  Example: heating a pan on stove.

Convection: This type of heat transfer happens when there is a movement of fluid (liquid or gas) due to the movement of hot layers to the top and cold layers to the bottom which leads to convection currents. Example: Heating of swimming pool.

Radiation: This type of heat transfer happens when there is direct transfer of energy through empty space.The electromagnetic radiation from the surface of an object which is due to the object's temperature is radiation. Example: Heating of earth's surface.

Why is grass green? Also why is the sky blue???
lara31 [8.8K]
<span>Like many plants, most species of grass produce a bright pigment called chlorophyll. Chlorophyll absorbs blue light (high energy, short wavelengths) and red light (low energy, longer wavelengths) well, but mostly reflects green light, which accounts for your lawn's color.

</span>sky<span> is </span>blue<span> because molecules in the air scatter </span>blue<span> light from the sun more than they scatter red light. When we look towards the sun at sunset, we see red and orange colors because the </span>blue<span> light has been scattered out and away from the line of sight.
