Determine the mass of fuel required for the expected energy consumption in the United States for the next 10 years:

Physics
1 answer:
alexandr1967 [171]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

(This will depend on the type of fuel, I will assume that the fuel is petrol)

First, let's find the expected energy consumption in the US for the next 10 years.

We know that in one year, a person consumes 3.5*10^11 joules.

There are 310,000,00 people on the US

Then the total consumption in one year is:

310,000,000*3.5*10^11 joules = 1.085*10^20 J

In 10 years the consumption is 10 times the consumption of a single year, then the expected energy consumption in the US for the next 10 years is:

10*1.085*10^20 J = 1.085*10^21 J

Now let's find the mass of fuel required.

We know that a liter of petrol has 31,536,000 joules of energy,

And a liter of petrol weights 0.75 kg

To find the number of liters of petrol that we need, we need to find the quotient between the expected energy consumption in the next 10 years and the energy of a single liter of petrol, this is:

N = (1.085*10^20 J)/(31,536,000 j) = 3.44*10^13

We will need  3.44*10^13 liters of petrol.

And the total mass of petrol will be:

M = 3.44*10^13*0.75 kg = 2.58*10^13 kg of fuel.

A 95kg clock initially at rest on a horizontal floor requires a 560N horizontal force to set it in motion. After the clock is in
miv72 [106K]

Complete Question

A 95 kg clock initially at rest on a horizontal floor requires a 650 N horizontal force to set it in motion. After the clock is in motion, a horizontal force of 560 N keeps it moving with a constant velocity. Find the coefficient of static friction and the coefficient of kinetic friction.

Answer:

The value for static friction is \mu_s =  0.60

The value for static friction is \mu_k =  0.70

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of the clock is m  =  95 \  kg

The first horizontal force is F _s  =  560 \  N

    The second horizontal force is    F _k  =  650  \  N

Generally the static frictional force is equal to the first  horizontal force

So

     F _s  =  m  *  g  *  \mu_s

=>   560  =  95  *  9.8  *  \mu_s

=>    \mu_s =  0.60

Generally the kinetic frictional force is equal to the second horizontal force

So

      F _k  =  m  *  g  *  \mu_k

      650 =  95  *  9.8  *  \mu_k

     \mu_k =  0.70

The normal force is the supporting force that is exerted on an object that is in contact with another stable object.

Answer: Option C

<u>Explanation: </u>

Normal force is forward or upward pushing force acting on an object. Mostly the normal force acts as supporting force exerted on the object by the neighbouring stable object with which the object in question is in contact. So normal force falls under the category of contact forces.

Generally, normal force will be acting to support the weight of any object placed on another object. The best examples of normal forces are the weight of the book supported by table or by the pushing force of the wall on the person leaning on the wall.

Argon, atomic number 18, has an atomic weight of 39.9. Potassium, atomic number 19, has an atomic weight of 39.1. Which of these
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer: D

Explanation:

Atomic weight is measured by adding the number of protons and neutrons in an atom's nucleus. Argon's atomic number is 18 while potassium's is 19. This means that Argon will always have 18 protons while potassium will always have 19 protons.

To make the numbers easier to work with, round each atomic weight. We'll say the atomic weight of potassium is 39 and the atomic weight of argon is 40. To see how many neutrons each one has, I can set up a simple equation for each using the following equation:

Atomic weight = protons + neutrons

Potassium:

39 = 19 + N  -->  N = 20

Argon:

40 = 18 + N  -->  N = 22

An atom is defined by the number of protons it has, but the number of neutrons can vary. We call these isotopes, or atoms with the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons. As the math shows, argon typically has more neutrons per atom than potassium does.
