You are traveling on a plane trip from Washington, D.C. to Cleveland, Ohio and the plane uses 1,260 MJ/passenger trip. If you ma

de the trip by car it would take 18 gallons/passenger trip. There are 142 MJ in a gallon of kerosene, a type of jet fuel. How many gallons of kerosene does it take to make the trip by plane?

Answer:

8.87 gallons of kerosene

Explanation:

Step 1: Given and required data

  • Energy to travel by plane per passenger trip: 1,260 MJ/passenger trip
  • Energy per gallon of kerosene: 142 MJ/gal

Step 2: Calculate how many gallons of kerosene it takes to make the trip by plane

We can calculate the amount of kerosene required by combining the factor provided in Step 1.

1 gal/142 MJ × 1,260 MJ/passenger trip = 8.87 gal/passenger trip

8.87 gallons of kerosene are required to make the trip by plane.

Alona [7]
<span>The correct answer should be B) 63.55. That's because the most precise number is 63.546, but you would write 55 because 46 is rounded that way in the equation. The others are a bit higher, while E is a completely different element, Iodine. This isn't the most precise piece of data because in reality there would be a slight differentiation of +- 0,003u</span>

You push a 1.30 kg physics book 2.80 m along a horizontal tabletop with a horizontal push of 1.55 N while the opposing force of
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

<h2>3.36J</h2>

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

mass m= 1.3kg

distance moved s= 2.8m

opposing frictional force= 0.34N

assume g= 9.81m/s^2

we know that work done= force *distance moved

1. work done to push the book= 1.55*2.8=4.34J

2. Work against friction = force of friction x distance

                                       = 0.34*2.8=0.952J

Step two:

the work done on the book is the net work, which is

Network done= work done to push the book- Work against friction

Network done= 4.32-0.952=3.36J

<u>Therefore the work of the 1.55N 3.36J</u>
