Can anyone do this?i dont understand it!

4.One rubber tire can generate about250,000 BTUS (1BTU=.0003KW ) when it is burned. The average American home consumes about 10,

jekas [21]

Answer:

The number of tires required to power ten homes for one year is approximately 2,730 tires

Explanation:

The given information are;

The energy generated by burning one rubber tire = 250,000 BTUs

1 BTU = 0.0003 kW

The amount of energy consumed by the average American home = 10,000 kWh

Therefore, the amount of energy generated by burning one tire in kW can be found as follows;

The energy generated by burning one rubber tire = 250,000 BTUs

1 BTU = 0.0003 kW

∴ 1 BTU × 250,000 = 250,000 BTUs = 0.0003 kW × 250,000 = 75 kW

We note that 250,000 BTUs is equivalent to 263764 kJ

1 kWh is equivalent to 3600 kJ

10,000 kWh = 10,000 × 3600 = 36,000,000 kJ

The energy requirement for ten homes for one year = 10 × 36,000,000 kJ = 360,000,000 kJ

At 50% efficiency, the energy produced per tire = 0.5 × 263764 kJ = 131,882 kJ

The electrical energy produced per tire = 131,882 kJ/tire

The number of tires required to power ten homes for one year = 360,000,000 kJ/ 131,882 kJ/tire = 2,729.71293 ≈2,730 tires

The number of tires required to power ten homes ≈2,730 tires.

Provide three different examples of how minerals can form on earth

Misha Larkins [42]

A mineral is a naturally occurring , solid, crystalline substance with a specific chemical composition. Minerals are usually inorganic and are formed by ionic, covalent or metallic bonding. Ionic bonds are the dominant type of bonds in mineral strictures. 90% of all minerals are ionic compounds. Minerals bonded by covalent bonds are strong, for example carbon bonded together to form diamond. Metallic bonds are a type of covalent bonds where the atoms have a strong tendency to lose electrons and pack together as cations.
