1. The fuel tank of a car holds 80 L of gasoline. Assuming that the gasoline has a specific gravity SG = 0.74. Determine the weight of the gasoline in the tank. 2. Consider an appliance that consumes 320 W of electric power when it is running. If the appliance only run half of the day and the unit cost of electricity is $0.09/kwh, the electricity cost in pesos of this appliance per month is? (Take 1 month to be 30 days and 1 dollar to be 50 Php).

1) A small steel block and a magnet rest on a horizontal frictionless table. The steel block weighs 0.07N and the magnet is fixed to the table. The force acting on the steel block by the magnet is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the steel block and the magnet. When the block is 26cm away from the magnet, the force becomes 0.145N. If the block starts its motion from rest at this position, what is the magnitude of the velocity of the block when it is 9.5cm away from the magnet?

1) While walking along the beach, a person sees a dented aluminum can whose mass is 100 grams. The can has been in the sun all day and is at a temperature of 80 °C. The person takes the hot aluminum can and throws it into the sea, which is at a temperature of 20 °C. The can transfers energy to the ocean, in the form of heat, until both reach thermal equilibrium. In addition to polluting the environment, how much did this person increase the entropy of the universe? Data: C(aluminium) =900 J/Kg*K and Tk=273+Tc
1. Is it Worth IT? I am considering purchasing a cover for my swimming pool. I have estimated that my pool loses 1.5 in of water off of its 1200 ft² surface each week due to evaporation. The cost of energy to heat the pool averages about $10.00 per million Btu. Interestingly, the salesperson at the pool store claims that a $500 pool cover will reduce evaporative losses by two-thirds and, as such, will pay for itself in one 15-week swimming season. Is it worth it for me to purchase this pool cover? You can assume that the heat of vaporization for water at my pool's average temperature equals 1050 Btu/lb.
1.1 A steam power station uses coals of calorific value of 5308 kcal/kg. The overall efficiency of the power station is 21.5% and a coal power station uses 6,98tonnes of coal every 15 minutes to generate the maximum demand. The purchasing price of coals is R600 per tonne. (NB: 1 kWh = 861 kcal)(a) Determine the coal consumption in kg per kWh (b) Determine the cost of purchasing the coals per week if the load factor is 65%.
