4. Suppose that a large amount of forest land was cleared to provide
farmland. What effect would the clearing have on the carbon dioxide
level in the air? Explain your answer.
A large sport utility vehicle has a mass of 2.5 * 103 kg. Calculate the mass of CO2 emitted into the atmosphere upon accelerating the SUV from 0.0 mph to 65.0 mph. Assume that the required energy comes from the combustion of octane with 30% efficiency. (Hint: Use KE = 1/2 mv2 to calculate the kineticenergy required for the acceleration.)
Carbon dioxide emissions associated with a one-night stay in a hotel room are calculated at 29.53 kg of CO2 per room day for an average hotel. The 200 rooms of your hotel are all occupied for two days during a college football game. How much CO2 did the guests and hotel release into the atmosphere?
