A power station burns 75 kilograms of coal per second. Each kg of coal contains 27 million joules of energy.

Physics
1 answer:
Kaylis [27]2 years ago

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

one kg of coal gives energy of 27 x 10⁶ J

75 kg of coal gives energy of 27 x 10⁶ x 75 J

So rate which energy is coming out of coal per second

= 27 x 10⁶ x 75 J

= 2025 x 10⁶ J /s

2025 million watts .

b ) energy output = 800 million watts

efficiency = (800 / 2025) x 100

= 39.5 % .

Can someone help with my physics homework? please
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

a) 19536 joules of work are done.

b) The work is done by the engine on the structure of the cart.

c) There are three options:  (i) Keeping the engine and changing the travelled distance, (ii) Changing the engine and keeping the travelled distance, (iii) Changing the engine and the travelled distance.

d) 24442 joules of work are done.

e) We may change for a bigger engine if it allows a greater acceleration and higher peak speed.

f) The bigger engine uses more gas to go 22 meters.

g) An empty semi truck uses more gas than a car since the first has much more mass than a car and is designed for moves big loads and for being fast.

Explanation:

a) If force applied in the cart is uniform, that is, constant in magnitude and direction and is parallel to distance travelled by the car, the work done on the cart is defined by the following equation:

W = F\cdot \Delta s (1)

Where:

F - Force applied by the cart, measured in newtons.

\Delta s - Distance travelled by the car, measured in meters.

W - Work done on the cart, measured in joules.

If we know that F = 888\,N and \Delta s = 22\,m, then the work done on the cart is:

W =(888\,N)\cdot (22\,m)

W = 19536\,J

19536 joules of work are done.

b) The work is done by the engine on the structure of the cart.

c) There are three options:  (i) Keeping the engine and changing the travelled distance, (ii) Changing the engine and keeping the travelled distance, (iii) Changing the engine and the travelled distance.

d) If we know that F = 1111\,N and \Delta s = 22\,m , then the work on the cart is:

W = (1111\,N)\cdot (22\,m)

W = 24442\,N

24442 joules of work are done.

e) We may change for a bigger engine if it allows a greater acceleration and higher peak speed.

f) The gas consumption is directly proportional to the square of velocity and mass of the cart and, hence, to the work done on the cart. In consequence, we conclude that the bigger engine uses more gas to go 22 meters.

g) An empty semi truck uses more gas than a car since the first has much more mass than a car and is designed for moves big loads and for being fast.

Weddell seals make holes in sea ice so that they can swim down to forage on the ocean floor below. Measurements for one seal sho
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

B. 1 m/s

Explanation:

Metric unit conversions:

0.3 km = 300m

5 minutes = 5*60 = 300 seconds

So if a seal can reach a depth of 300m in a time of 300 seconds, its diving speed is the distance divided by time duration

v = s/t = 300/300 = 1m/s

So B is the correct answer

When should you check to see that fuel lines, connections, and fuel vents are in good condition? before fueling while fueling af
jekas [21]

Answer:

Before fueling the tank.

Explanation:

All the stated concerns such as the condition of fuel line and fuel vents should always be checked before fueling the tank.

While fueling the tank make sure not to fill it up to brim. Doing this may gets to blast as fuel when heated will not have any space to expand. Fuel vent must be in good condition as it release vacuum and pressure build inside the tank.

Fuel lines helps to move to move fuel from one place to another, hence any damage or leakage in this can result into a big collapse so all these must be properly checked.
