A 20 watt light bulb is left burning inside a refrigerator operating on a reverse Carnot cycle. If the refrigerator also draws 2

0 watts of electrical power to operate its condenser, can it cool its interior below room temperature while the bulb is on? Explain why or why not

Explanation:

Given that,

Power drawn by the refrigerator = 20 watt

Power of burning light inside = 20 watt

Room temperature = 27°C

We need to calculate the temperature

Using formula of coefficient of refrigerator

COR_{R}=\dfrac{Q_{c}}{W}

\dfrac{Q_{c}}{W}=\dfrac{T_{c}}{T_{H}-T_{c}}

Put the value into the formula

\dfrac{20}{20}=\dfrac{T_{c}}{T_{H}-T_{c}}

\dfrac{T_{c}}{T_{H}-T_{c}}=1

T_{h}=2T_{c}

T_{c}=\dfrac{T_{h}}{2}

T_{c}=\dfrac{27+273}{2}

T_{c}=150\ K

T_{c} is less than T_{h}

Therefore, refrigerator cools its interior below room temperature while the bulb is on.

Hence, This is the required solution.

A car has a kinetic energy of 103kJ.
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer: 1200kg

Explanation:

KE = (1/2)mv^2

103kJ = 103000J

103000J = (1/2) * m * (13.1m/s)^2

Solve for m

Consider a small child sliding down two differently shaped slides that have the same coefficient of kinetic friction. How must t
timama [110]

Answer:

Having a bigger angle above the horizontal

Explanation:

Applying the energy conservation theorem:

K_1+U_1+W_{ext}=K_2+U_2

The kinetic energy is reduced because of the work done by the friction force.

The friction force is given by:

F_f=F_N*\µ

so the friction force depends on the Normal force, because the slide has an angle the normal force is given by:

F_N=m.g*cos(\theta)

So when the angle of the slide is bigger, the friction force decreases, for example:

for 45 degrees:

F_N=m.g*cos(45)\\F_N=0.70(m.g)\\

for 75 degrees:

F_N=m.g*cos(75)\\F_N=0.26(m.g)\\

as you can see if the angle is bigger above the horizontal, the friction force is reduced and so the work done by that force. We didn't have to change the height of the slide, so the potential gravitational energy remains the same.

A pitcher delivers a fast ball with a velocity of 43 m/s to the south. the batter hits the ball and gives it a velocity of 51 m/
hoa [83]
Assuming north as positive direction, the initial and final velocities of the ball are:
v_i=-43 m/s (with negative sign since it is due south)
v_f=+51 m/s
the time taken is t=1.0 ms=0.001 s, so the average acceleration of the ball is given by
a= \frac{v_f-v_i}{t}= \frac{51 m/s-(-43 m/s)}{0.001 s}=9.4 \cdot 10^4 m/s^2
And the positive sign tells us the direction of the acceleration is north.

A solar cell, 3.0 cm square, has an output of 350 mA at 0.80 V when exposed to full sunlight. A solar panel that delivers close
Vesna [10]

Answer:

You will need 450 cells (3 cm each) to meet the voltage/current requirement.

The panel must be 3 cells in one side, by 150 cell in another side. 1350 cm^2 or 0.135 m^2. They must be connected 3 in row in parallel (to add current), then each of the former group must be connected in series to meet the voltage, so it would be 150 rows of connected in series.

The panel can be optimized using a voltage inverter, to convert current to voltage. In this way, less cells can be used achieving the same output specs.

Explanation:

To meet the voltage:

120 [v] required voltage

0.8 [v] voltage of each cell

\frac{120}{0.8} =150[v]\\

So we need 150 cells in series for the voltage.

To meet the current

1.0 [A]      Required current

350[mA]=0.35[A] cell current

1/0.35=3 cell So we need 3 cells in parallel to add the currents and meet the requirement.

See the attached figure
