Energy
Project: Gasoline Demand (required lab): (60 points)
During
the first two weeks of class you need to fill your gasoline tank in your car.
During course you will keep a record of all purchases of gasoline noting dates,
price, amount, cost and odometer reading. Get receipts or keep a diary in your
vehicle. Then transfer each purchase to page in your lab notebook.
During the last two weeks, you fill your tank
again and record the data. You will determine:
a.
The Total Miles driven; the Total Gallons
Used; the Total Cost.
e The instructor may add additional data for you
to determine to complete this project.
These
calculations should be done in your lab notebook, but the spreadsheet may
either be hand drawn in your lab notebook or done on the computer.
You
need to only fill the tank twice, at the beginning and at the end of the project.
You will not use the first fill-up in your calculations. Why?
If you
do not drive or own a vehicle and can not get cooperation from your family, the
instructor will assigned an alternate energy demand project
