                           i.          Energy value is the amount of energy produced per unit mass of the fuel.

                         ii.          Ignition point is the temperature to which the fuel must be heated before it starts burning.

                       iii.          Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by the body due to its motion.

                       iv.          Potential energy is the energy possessed by the body due to its position.

 

03. Major components of coal are:

Ø Moisture

Ø Volatile matter

Ø Ash

Ø Fixed carbon (Coke)

 

04. Important types of coal are:

Ø Peat

Ø Lignite

Ø Bituminous (soft coal)

Ø Anthracite (hard coal)

 

05. (i) Energy is the ability or capacity of a body to do work.

(ii) The principle of conservation of energy states that “Energy can neither be created nor destroyed but it can be transformed from one form to another.”

06.  

(i)              Dynamo

(ii)            Electric cooker, electric iron, heaters, electric bulb

(iii)           Electrical motor

(iv)           Electric bell

(v)            Solar panel, photocells

 

07. (a) Energy value of a fuel is the amount of energy produced per unit mass of a fuel.

(b) Data given:

Mass of a petrol (m) = 20 g

Volume of water heated (v) = 2.5 litres

Heat value of petrol (H) = 43 640 KJ/Kg

Required:

Temperature change (∆Q) =?

 

From:

Energy value =  

Energy value =

 

But, from

Mass of water = density x volume

Mass of water = 1000 kg/m3 x 2.5 litre

Mass of water = (1000 x 2.5/1000) kg

                        = 2.5 kg

Note: 1 m3 = 1000 dm3/litres

            Mass of fuel = (20/1000) kg è 0.02 kg

            Since, 1kg = 1000 g

Then,

43 640 KJ/kg =  

 

 

 

= 83.49 K

Ø The temperature change is 83.49 K

 

08.  (a) Renewable sources of energy are the sources of energy which are continuously replaced within a short period of time.

(b) Two main advantages of biofuels

·       They are carbon neutral thus they contribute very little to global warming unlike fossil fuels.

·       Their supply is almost limitless since biofuels are produced from various sources such as straw, timber, manure, rice husks, sugar cane, flaxseed and palm oil.
