A family wishes to buy a 2020 Toyota Camry. The two options the consider are (a) a standard automobile with and SI engine that gets 34 mpg and costs $18,000; and (b) a hybrid automobile that gets 52 mpg and costs $32,000. On average, the family drives 16,000 miles each year ad gasoline costs $1.65 per gallon. Calculate: (Show your clear solution) The amount of gasoline each vehicle would use each year. Gasoline cost savings of hybrid over standard. Time in months it would take to make up the difference in vehicle cost with fuel savings.

Suppose that in some location, thermal solar electricity can be produced at a cost of 4¢ per kilowatt hour (kWh), while electricity from coal costs 3.5¢ per kWh (note that thermal solar can be stored up and released overnight, so you can assume that there are no problems with intermittency). Suppose there is enough coal to last 100 more years at current use levels, and suppose for now that virtually all of the cost of making electricity from coal is the coal itself.7 If the real rate of interest is 2%, what do you expect to happen to the current price of coal?
If you rent a car, you can (1) return it with a full gas tank, (2) return it without filling it and pay $5.75/gallon, or (3) accept a fixed price of $60 for gas. The local price is $3.50/gallon for gasoline, and you expect this car to get 25 miles per gallon. The car has a 16-gallon tank. What choice should you make if you expect to drive: (a) 150 miles? (b) 300 miles? (c) 450 miles? (d) How do your answers change if stopping at the filling station takes 20 minutes and your time is worth $15/hr?

A wind turbine has the maximum power output at the rated speed of 12 m/s and a rotor diameter of 82 meters. The cut-in and cut-out speeds for this type of wind turbine are 4 m/s and 23 m/s, respectively. The table below shows the annual wind data near a potential site for setting up a wind farm using this type of wind turbine and the power coefficient of the wind turbine at the specific wind speed. The air density is 1.22 kg/m3. (a). What is the maximum power output of this wind turbine, assuming Betz limit? (b). What is the average power output if the wind turbine is installed at this site?. (c). What is the capacity factor of the wind turbine at this site? (d). If a wind farm consisting of 100 such wind turbines is built at the site, how much energy does this wind farm generate in a year (in the unit of kWh)? (e). Is this a good site for using this particular type of wind turbine?

Assume the drag force is proportional to v2, given by F = 1/2DρAv2 and ignore other sources of resistive force. a) Find the power required to maintain a speed of 60km/h on a flat, straight road. b) Find the power required to maintain a speed of 80km/h on the same flat, straight road. c) If the energy yield of diesel fuel is the same at either speed, how much more in percent does it cost to go one kilometre at 80km/h relative 60km/h? d) Find the power required to maintain a speed of 60 km/h on an incline of 10%.
The Sylvania Super Saver 75 W light uses 20 watts, produces 1280 lumens, and costs $4.49. As an alternative, a generic 75 W incandescent light bulb costs $0.40, produces 1200 lumens, and has a service life of 750 hours. Compare the performance of each light by calculating the efficacy for each light and estimate how much it would cost to run each light for 4 hours per day for 300 days in a year. Assume electricity costs 9 cents per kWh.
