Question: You are working as an intern in an alternative energy company who designs nuclear energy-fueled car engines. Your supervisor asked you to compare their nuclear fuel batteries with the traditional car fuel consumption. A traditional car consumes

5L

of gas (approximate

\\\ ho _(gasoline )=

0.75k(g)/(L)

) a day, and the capacity of the tank is

50L

. It is also known that

44,000kJ

of heat is released from

1L

of gasoline. If the new car (consuming same amount of energy each day with the traditional car) is equipped with

0.1kg

of

U-235

, determine how long it takes to change the fuel of the nuclear powered car? (complete fission of

0.1kg

of

U-235

release

6.73\\\\times 10^(9)kJ

energy)
