Calculate the mass of wood that has the same energy as 1 g of oil

san4es73 [151]

2.3 grams of wood has the same energy as 1g of oil.

The majority of wood and wood waste used as fuel in the United States is used by industry. Manufacturers of paper and wood products are the biggest industrial users. They produce steam and electricity from waste from paper and lumber mills, which saves money by lowering the number of other fuels and electricity they need to buy to run their facilities.

There are numerous power plants that primarily burn wood to produce electricity in the electric power sector, and some coal-burning power plants burn wood chips along with coal to cut down on sulfur dioxide emissions. The primary purpose of wood consumption in the business sector is heating.

A solid sphere of weight 42.0 N rolls up an incline at an angle of 36.0°. At the bottom of the incline the center of mass of the

Alecsey [184]

Answer:

Part a)

$KE = 77.95 J$

Part b)

$L = 3.16 m$

Part c)

distance L is independent of the mass of the sphere

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that rotational kinetic energy of the sphere is given as

$KE = \frac{1}{2}I\omega_2 + \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

so we will have

$KE = \frac{1}{2}(\frac{2}{5}mR^2)(\frac{v}{R})^2 + \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

so we will have

$KE = \frac{1}{5} mv^2 + \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

$KE = \frac{7}{10} mv^2$

$KE = \frac{7}{10}(\frac{42}{9.81})(5.10^2)$

$KE = 77.95 J$

Part b)

By mechanical energy conservation law we know that

Work done against gravity = initial kinetic energy of the sphere

So we will have

$mgLsin\theta = KE$

$\frac{42}{9.81}(9.81)L sin36 = 77.95$

$L = 3.16 m$

Part c)

by equation of energy conservation we know that

$\frac{7}{10}mv^2 = mgL sin\theta$

so here we can see that distance L is independent of the mass of the sphere

MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

The x-component is found in the magnitude of the vector times the cosine of the angle.

$A_x=14.4cos133$ and, to 3 sig dig,

It is August 1st and you are at a Science Camp in Florida. During an outdoor science quiz, you are asked to identify the tempera

KonstantinChe [14]

Fahrenheit because the boiling point of water is 100 degrees Celsius which is 212 Fahrenheit which is very hot, and that would be about 200 Kelvin so therefore the answer is that the temperature was recorded in Fahrenheit not Kelvin or Celsius

A 1300 kg car starts at rest and rolls down a hill from a height of 10.0 m. It then moves across a

Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

0.51 m

Explanation:

Using the principle of conservation of energy, change in potential energy equals to the change in kinetic energy of the spring.

Kinetic energy, KE=½kx²

Where k is spring constant and x is the compression of spring

Potential energy, PE=mgh

Where g is acceleration due to gravity, h is height and m is mass

Equating KE=PE

mgh=½kx²

Making x the subject of formula

$x=\sqrt {\frac {2mgh}{k}}$

Substituting 9.81 m/s² for g, 1300 kg for m, 10m for h and 1000000 for k then

$x=\sqrt \frac {2*1300*9.81*10}{1000000}=0.50503465227646m\\x\approx 0.51 m$
