Answer:

The net calorific value of the fuel 1 is 40000 kilojoules per kilogram.

The net calorific value of the fuel 2 is 50000 kilojoules per kilogram.

Explanation:

The net calorific value is equal to the heat produced (Q), in kilojoules, divided by the mass of the burnt fuel (m). We proceed to calculate the net calorific value of each fuel:

Fuel 1 (m = 4\,kg, Q = 160000\,kJ)

L = \frac{160000\,kJ}{4\,kg}

L = 40000\,\frac{kJ}{kg}

The net calorific value of the fuel 1 is 40000 kilojoules per kilogram.

Fuel 2 (m = 2\,kg, Q = 100000\,kJ)

L = \frac{100000\,kJ}{2\,kg}

L = 50000\,\frac{kJ}{kg}

The net calorific value of the fuel 2 is 50000 kilojoules per kilogram.

If Jupiter were 10 times more massive, it would generate nuclear fusion in its core and be a star instead of a planet. If Jupite
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Let me put it in numbers. Jupiter has mass of 1.898x10^27Kg, make it 10 times as much and it becomes 1.898x10^28 Kg.

TRAPPIST-1, smallest star ever found has Mass of 1.77x10^29Kg, that is around 93 times larger than the mass of Jupiter.

Clearly 10 times as much is not enough to generate fusion reaction and become a star, in theory Jupiter must be at least 85 times larger than it's current mass to be able to generate fusion reaction and become a star.

So i think we can conclude that if Jupiter were to have 10 times of its own mass, it would not become a star, therefore the given statement is False.

What is mechanical energy​
netineya [11]

Explanation:  

In physical sciences, mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy. It is the macroscopic energy associated with a system. The principle of conservation of mechanical energy states that if an isolated system is subject only to conservative forces, then the mechanical energy is constant. If an object moves in the opposite direction of a conservative net force, the potential energy will increase; and if the speed (not the velocity) of the object changes, the kinetic energy of the object also changes. In all real systems, however, nonconservative forces, such as frictional forces, will be present, but if they are of negligible magnitude, the mechanical energy changes little and its conservation is a useful approximation. In elastic collisions, the kinetic energy is conserved, but in inelastic collisions some mechanical energy may be converted into thermal energy. The equivalence between lost mechanical energy (dissipation) and an increase in temperature was discovered by James Prescott Joule.

An electric pump has 2kW power . How much water will it lift every minute if the height is 10 m ?
valkas [14]

Answer:

Given that,

  • Power = 2000 W
  • time = 60 seconds
  • distance= 10m

Power = work done ÷ time

Here, since the movement is vertical, w = mgh

So,

Power = mgh÷t

2000 = (m × 9.8 ×10) ÷ 60

m = (2000 ×60) ÷98

m = 1224.5kg
