Because a Btu is so small, energy is usually measured in millions of Btus. 1 Btu = the amount of energy required to increase the temperature of one pound of water (which is equivalent to one pint) by one degree Fahrenheit. This is roughly the heat produced from burning one match.

How tall is the building?
u need to divide the height by 1.6 to get your answer
If you want to change the thermos into an open energy system, you have to remove the lid. Once the lid is removed, the energy is no longer contained inside the thermos bottle. From the bottle, the energy dissipates to the environment.
Force is mass times acceleration. This means an object with a larger mass needs a stronger force to be moved along at the same acceleration as an object with a small mass
Answer:
The work done by this engine is 800 cal
Explanation:
Given:
100 g of water
120°C final temperature
22°C initial temperature
30°C is the temperature of condensed steam
Cw = specific heat of water = 1 cal/g °C
Cg = specific heat of steam = 0.48 cal/g °C
Lw = latent heat of vaporization = 540 cal/g
Question: How much work can be done using this engine, W = ?
First, you need to calculate the heat that it is necessary to change water to steam:
Here, mw is the mass of water
Now, you need to calculate the heat released by the steam:
The work done by this engine is the difference between both heats:
