Introduction:
Since you have posted a question with multiple sub-parts, we will solve first three sub-parts for you. To get remaining sub-part solved please repost the complete question and mention the sub-parts to be solved.
Concept of Power and Work:
Work (W):
If there is motion in an object due to the application of force then there is certain amount of energy being transferred to that object. That energy is known as Work done on that object.
Work done (W in J)= Force applied on an object (F in N) Distance travelled by that object (d in m).
Power (P):
It is amount of work done per unit time.
P= . SI unit of Power is Watt (W or J/s).

- In recent years, there has been a large push for an increase in the use of renewable resources to produce the energy we need to power our vehicles. One of the newer fuels that has become more widely available is E85, a mixture of 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline. Despite being more environmentally friendly, one of the potential drawbacks of E85 fuel is that it produces less energy than conventional gasoline. Assume a car gets 27.5 mi gal using gasoline at $3.50/gal and 21.5 mi gal using E85 at $2.85/gal. How much will it cost to drive 700. miles using conventional gasoline fuel? How much will it cost to drive 700. miles using E85 fuel?arrow_forwardWhen the Glen Canyon hydroelectric power plant in Arizona is running at capacity, 690 m3 of water flows through the dam each second. The water is released 220 m below the top of the reservoir. If the generators that the dam employs are 90% efficient, what is the maximum possible electric power output?arrow_forwardA coal power plant has a rated output of 150 MW and a first law efficiency of 41%. Coal has an energy density of 24 MJ/kg. How many metric tons of coal are wasted by the power plant per hour while running at full capacity (that is, how much of the coal that was burned did not actually contribute to generating electricity)? Express your answer in metric tons of coal.arrow_forward
- If the average household in a region consumes about 5,250 kWh of energy per year. In the region, the average annual solar energy potential is about 1,450 kWh/m² per year. If solar panels are available in sizes of 1 m x 1 m with an efficiency of 18 %, how many panels will be needed to power a house? (Since you can't have a fraction of panel, always round up you number to the next integer.) Your Answer: Answerarrow_forwardConsider a water reservior. The resrvoir graduallly loses water, because people insist on showering, washing clothes, etc. The "use rate" R is the rate at which consumers use the water. On April 13, between 1pm and 2pm, R is 5-gallons per second. How much water was drained from the reservoir between 1pm and 130pm? At midnight, when everyone was asleep, a big industrial water user suddenly becomes active. Let A denote the amount of water taken from the reservoir (in gallons), with A = 0 at midnight. It turns out that A=2t2 with t expressed in seconds. Given this information, calculate R, the use rate, at t = 10 s.arrow_forwardSuppose that 6 J of work is needed to stretch a spring from its natural length of 28 cm to a length of 34 cm. (a) How much work is needed to stretch the spring from 30 cm to 32 cm? (Round your answer to two decimal places.) (b) How far beyond its natural length will a force of 30 N keep the spring stretched? (Round your answer one decimal place.) cmarrow_forward
- A hot tub with a surface area of 28 ft2 is filled with water to a depth of 29 in . Hint: volume is calculated as area × height (A × h). A) What is the volume of water in the tub, in liters? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units. B) How many kilojoules are needed to heat the water from 59∘F to 103 ∘F? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units. C) If the hot-tub heater provides 5900 kJ/min, how long, in hours, will it take to heat the water in the hot tub from 59∘F to 103∘F? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.arrow_forwardThe figure below is that of an object being pushed up an incline. The object has mass of m - 4.9 kg and it is pushed up the incline with a force of F= 26.0 N to the top at a constant speed. The incline is 12-meters long and h 3.1 meters high. Based on this information, please determine the efficiency for this inclined plane to three decimal places. Enter your answer as a decimal, not a percentage (0.224 and not 22.4%) Your Answer: 12.0 m F Earrow_forwardIn an attempt to find the food calories provided by various fruits, you collect the following information, which is given in various units: pineapples have 125 Calories of energy, mangos have 271,960 joules of energy, and grapes have 87,000 calories of energy. Select the option that correctly ranks the fruits from greatest to least energy supplied.arrow_forward
