Dear Shooting Star, thanks for patiently replying my silly basic questions. I hope I will be able to learn something useful here. 1 Kg of weight is approximately 10 Newton (near to 9.81 N) force. Moving 1 N force through 1 meter distance requires 1 Joule of energy. Hence moving 1500 Kgs (about...
8.79 KWHr of energy in 1 litre of petrol is the data I collected from internet. 41.67 KWHr for hauling 1500 Kgs weight for 10 KMs is my calculation. I don't know what is wrong but Law of conservation of energy is missing.
1 litre of petrol contain about 8.79 KWHr (30023 BTU) of energy. A car wieghs about 1500Kg is able to run for about 10000 meters by burning 1 litre of petorl. For moving 1500 Kgs for 10000 meters the energy required is 150 Megajoules which is equal to 41.67 KWHr. How this is possible? Am I...
