Apower station burns 75 kilograms of coal per second. each kg of coal contains 27 million joules of energy.
a. what is the total power of this power station in watts? (watts=joules/second)
b. the power station’s output is 800 million watts. how efficient is this power station?

Explanation:

Energy obtained by burning of 1 kg coal = 27 million Joule

a.

Energy obtained by burning of 75 kg coal = 27 x 75 = 2025 million Joule

Power = Energy obtained per second

Power =

P =

P =

b.

Input power =  2025 million Watt

Output power = 800 million Watt

Efficiency = output power / input power

Efficiency = 800 / 2025 = 0.395

Efficiency = 39.5%

Some morphological and physiological adaptations of organisms includes special storage organs of geophytes and other plants, deep root systems of trees in order to reach deep aquifers. Additionally, some plants survive by germinating quickly after the rains and before the summer heat these plants complete their life cycles.
