Energy in Uranium is stored as _____ energy.

Correct A ) Nuclear

Uranium is a radio active material. Energy in Uranium is stored as nuclear energy.

A BTU has more energy than a calorie.

Correct A ) TRUE

A BTU is the amount of heat required to heat 1 lb (454 grams) of water through 1°F. Whereas 1 calorie is the amount of heat required to raise 1 g of water through 1°C. Therefore there is more energy in one BTU.

A room air conditioner used by Joel is rated at 577 watts. Joel used the air conditioner for 8 hours every week during summer. Calculate the total energy consumed by the air conditioner (in kWh) during the summer semester which runs for 8 weeks?
