8) Which car is more fuel-efficient, a European car that takes 6.70 liters of gas for each 100. km (that’s how gas mileage is reported in Europe) or a car that takes 30.0 MPG? Show your calculations. What if you compare the European car to a car that takes 35.0 MPG?
Integrated Concepts - In certain large geographic regions, the underlying rock is hot. Wells can be drilled and water circulated through the rock for heat transfer for the generation of electricity. (a) Calculate the heat transfer that can be extracted by cooling 1.00 km3 of granite by 100C. (b) How long will this take if heat is transferred at a rate of 300 MW, assuming no heat transfers back into the 1.00 km of rock by its surroundings?

Wind farms in Washington have a capacity of 3075 Megawatts (mega means million remember so this is 3075000000 watts). This means if they were all operating at the same time this is how many Joules per second they would produce. a) Assume all wind farms in Washington are operating at capacity. How much energy in Kwh is produced in one hour? b) Now it is not windy all the time, so suppose only 60% of the wind farms are operating. How much energy is produced in a 7 day week by these wind farms c) An average home uses about 250 KWh for a 7 day week. How many homes can be operated by the wind farms in part b

How does the second law of thermodynamics explain how our bodies heat up when we exercise How does the second law of thermodynamics help explain the diffusion of a substance across a membrane? Explain how organisms, which maintain order and process energy, do not violate the second law of thermodynamics.
mpact extinction 65 million years ago over 50% of all species became extinct, ending the reign of dinosaurs and opening the way for mammals to become the dominant land vertebrates. A theory for this extinction, with considerable supporting evidence, is that a 10-kmkm-wide 1.8×1015kg1.8×1015kg asteroid traveling at speed 11 km/skm/s crashed into Earth. Determine the internal energy produced by the collision (a bar chart for the process might help). By comparison, the atomic bombs dropped on Japan during World War II were each equivalent to 15,000 tons of TNT (1 ton of TNT releases 4.2×109J4.2×109J of energy).

Discuss the relative effectiveness of dieting and exercise in losing weight, noting that most athletic activities consume food energy at a rate of 400 to 500 W, while a single cup of yogurt can contain 1360 kJ (325 kcal). Specifically, is it likely that exercise alone will be sufficient to lose weight? You may wish to consider that regular exercise may increase the metabolic rate, whereas protracted dieting may reduce it.
