We showed that you need to expend 8,340 Btu to heat up 20 gallons of water from room temperature at 70F to 120F to produce hot water to take a shower. From this we calculated the amount of natural gas that you would burn to heat 20 gallons of water from room temperature at 70F to 120F to take a shower is 8.34 ft^3. Determine the additional amount of gas that must be burned if the water heater has an...

a) A mildly restored ‘Knight-Rider’ 1989 Pontiac Trans Am GTA powered by a 5.7 litre V8 can do a quarter mile S from rest in a time t of about 15 seconds. Using distance: S=a t2 /2 , force: F=ma and work: W=FS, calculate the amount of work (energy) in kJ required to do the standing quarter mile given that the mass (m) of this Trans Am is 3,500 pounds. Assume that the acceleration (a) is constant. (This is not...
