Electricity is actually a very cheap form of energy. Suppose the cost of energy is 18.8 cents/kwh. If all the electrical energy used in purchasing $1 of electricity were converted to potential energy of raising 30,000 kg truck, how high above the ground would the truck be raised in m?

Electricity is actually a very cheap form of energy. Suppose the cost of energy is 10.4 cents/kwh. If all the electrical energy used in purchasing $1 of electricity were converted to kinetic energy of a 3,000 kg car, how fast would the car be moving in mi/hr? mi/hr is more familiar... you may Google the conversion from m/s to mi/hr if you like.

Electricity is actually a very cheap form of energy. Suppose the cost of energy is 10.6 cents/kwh. If all the electrical energy used in purchasing $1 of electricity were converted to kinetic energy of a 5,000 kg car, how fast would the car be moving in mi/hr? mi/hr is more familiar... you may Google the conversion from m/s to mi/hr if you like.

A. Food Energy. Energy is stored in food as the potential energy of the electrical bonds in molecules. Your body converts food energy to mechanical energy and heat. Food energy is expressed in “calories”, which are actually kilocalories (kcal, with 1 kcal= 4.185 kJ) How many joules are in a 130-kcal serving of breakfast cereal? B. A glass of 1 percent milk contains 130 kcal. How many glasses would a 70-kg person have to drink to get the energy needed...

The average US citizen consumes 12000 kWh of electric energy per year an ‘ end use’ number and does not include the energy lost in converting other energy sources, e.g. fossil fuels to electricity. Note also that a kWh (kilowatt hour) is a unit of energy (not power) but a ‘kWh per year’ is a unit of power. The average electric bill indicates that a consumer pays about $0.12 per kWh of electric energy. Your Uncle Joe wants to get...

Case problem 5 : Duke Energy Coal Allocation*
Duke Energy manufactures and distributes electricity to customers in the United States and Latin America. Duke recently purchased Cinergy Corporation, which has generating facilities and energy customers in Indiana, Kentucky, and Ohio. For these customers Cin- ergy has been spending $725 to $750 million each year for the fuel needed to operate its coal-fired and gas-fired power plants; 92% to 95% of the fuel used is coal. In this region, Duke Energy uses 10 coal-burning generating plants: five located inland...

2. Suppose a car travels 108 km at a speed of 20.0 m/s, and uses
2.20 gallons of gasoline. Only 30% of the gasoline goes into useful
work by the force that keeps the car moving at constant speed
despite friction. (The energy content of gasoline is 1.3 ✕
108 J per gallon.)
(a) What is the force exerted to keep the car moving at constant
speed?
N
(b) If the required force is directly proportional to speed, how
