4. Suppose that a nuclear power plant has an efficiency of about 0.34, and generates 1000 MW of power. It is located on the banks of a major river that is 67 m wide near the plant, approximately 3 m deep, and flows at a rate of 0.5 m/s. Suppose that the plant re-routes all of this water into the plant and dumps its waste heat evenly throughout the water, then returns the warmer water to the river. How much warmer is the river downstream of the plant compared to upstream? Water's specific heat is approximately 4184 J/kg/K, and its density is 1000 kg/m³. [Answer: The water is warmer by 4.62 K. This is a lot warmer!]
Electric vehicles increase speed by using an electric motor that draws energy from a battery. When the vehicle slows, the motor runs as a generator, recharging the battery. Explain why this means that an electric vehicle can be more efficient than a gasoline-fueled vehicle.
