Experiment 2: A Tesla car has a battery that can hold from 50 kWh to 75 kWh of stored energy. (1 kWh= 1000 W x 3600 sec = 3600 sec = 3,600,000 J). 1) How much energy is 1 kWh compared to the energy released when burning 1 gallon of gasoline? A Tesla has a range of about 300 to 400 miles on a full battery. So let us assume that a Tesla with a 50 kWh battery can go 300 miles. Also assume that 1 kWh cost 25 cents to produce. 2) Calculate how much it costs to drive a Tesla 40 miles 3) Calculate how much gas (in gallons) you can buy with the cost of driving a Tesla 40 miles (the results will most likely be a fraction of a gallon) 1000 J/sec x
