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 ourvehicles. One of the newer fuels that has become more widely available is E85, a mixture of 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline. Despitebeing more environmentally friendly, one of the potential drawbacks of E85 fuel is that it produces less energy than conventionalgasoline. 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 drive700. miles using conventional gasoline fuel?How much will it cost to drive 700. miles using E85 fuel?

An energy storage system is being designed using a number of concrete blocks and electrically driven carriages, each carriage has a mass 10 000 kg, which can be raised to a certain height using electric motor driven trains using excess power from a combined solar-wind farm. Power is recovered using the same motors and releasing the concrete blocks and carriages. If the excess energy on one day is 2 GJ, the maximum height is 200 m and the efficiency is 100%, how many carriages are needed to store this energy (assume g = 10 m/s²). 4 B C O E 5 20 50 100 200
A cow is being lifted to the top of a cliff. The cow has a mass of 450 kg and the height of the cliff is 5.6 m. The machine used to lift the cow is 67.8 percent efficient. How much work does the machine need to supply to lift the cow?
A typical baseball has a mass of 0.145 kg. Some pitchers can throw a baseball with a speed of about 103 miles per hour, or about 46.0 m/s. What is the kinetic energy (in J) of a typical baseball moving at this speed?
The Joule (J) and calorie (cal) are both units of energy. In the U.S., the energy provided by food is given on product labels in nutritional calories (NC). 1 NC is the same as 1 kilocalorie (kcal). In England, the energy provided by food is given in kilojoules (kJ). A can of soup in england has the following nutritional information on the label: 385 kJ of energy per 275.0 mL of soup. In the U.S., the same nutritional information would be given in NC per cup of soup. How many NC per cup does the soup provide?

Question 51 of 55 How many tons of coal are needed per day to run a 1000 Mega Watt power plant? One Watt is 1 Joule / second. Joules are units of energy. When coal is burned it releases 21.5 Giga Joules per ton. Only about 45% of this energy is converted to electrical energy. 1 4 7 +/- 2 8 . 3 6 9 O Submit X x 100 +
A 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.
A bag is dragged up a rough slope at a constant speed by a rope on a winch. The kinetic energy of the bag is 500 J and it gains 1000 J in potential energy as it is dragged up the slope. If the work done by the winch to lift the bag up the slope is 1500 J, how much energy was lost as thermal energy?
Book: Sustainable Energy, Si Edition, 2nd Edition by Richard A. Dunlop Chapter 16 - Problem 1. How many tonnes of wood per day would be needed for a wood-fired generating station that produces 1,000MW continously (typical of a coal-fired facility) at 35% efficiency?
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: Answer
As you learned in this course, there are many different energy transformations to accomplish the same tasks. The screen on your phone is actually an energy transformation technology. It converts electrical energy to radiant energy ight) There are many technologies which can be used to produce a screen, and their efficiency is linked in a complex manner to the colours in the image they display D Here is a simplified example: Power consumption Usable light output power Organic light emitting diode (OLED) 2.0 W 0.38 W Liquid crystal display (LCD) 3.0 W 0.25 W
