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 proton is ejected from the sun at a speed of 2 x 10^6 m/s. How long does it take for this proton to reach earth? Answer in hou
wolverine [178]
The distance from the Sun to the Earth is 149,600,000 km.

d=149 600 000 \ km = 149 600 000 000 \ m = 1496 \cdot 10^8 \ m \\
v=2 \cdot 10^6 \ \frac{m}{s} \\ \\ \\
t=\frac{d}{v} \\ \\
t=\frac{1496 \cdot 10^8 \ m}{2 \cdot 10^6 \ \frac{m}{s}}=748 \cdot 10^2 \ s =\frac{748 \cdot 10^2 }{36 \cdot 10^2} \ h \approx \underline{\underline{20,78 \ h}}

A particle moving along a straight line with constant acceleration has a velocity of 2.35 m/s at t=3.42 s, and a velocity of -8.
mrs_skeptik [129]

The particle's acceleration is 5.1 m/s²

<h3>What is Acceleration ?</h3>

Acceleration can be defined as the rate at which velocity is changing. It is a vector quantity and it is measured in m/s²

Given that a particle is moving along a straight line with constant acceleration has a velocity of 2.35 m/s at t=3.42 s, and a velocity of -8.72 m/s at t=5.59s

The given parameters are;

  • V1 = 2.35 m/s
  • V2 = - 8.72 m/s
  • T1 = 3.42s
  • T2 = 5.59s

Acceleration a = ΔV ÷ ΔT

a = (2.35 + 8.72) / (5.59 - 3.42)

a = 11.07 / 2.17

a = 5.1 m/s²

Therefore, the particle's acceleration is 5.1 m/s²

6) If a mass of an object is decreased to half and acting force is reduced by quarter the acceleration of its motion
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

Decreases to half.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial mass (m₁) = m

Initial force (F₁) = F

Initial acceleration (a₁) =?

Final mass (m₂) = ½m

Final force (F₂) = ¼F

Final acceleration (a₂) =?

Next, we shall determine a₁. This can be obtained as follow:

F₁ = m₁a₁

F = ma₁

Divide both side by m

a₁ = F / m

Next, we shall determine a₂.

F₂ = m₂a₂

¼F = ½ma₂

2F = 4ma₂

Divide both side by 4m

a₂ = 2F / 4m

a₂ = F / 2m

Finally, we shall determine the ratio of a₂ to a₁. This can be obtained as follow:

a₁ = F / m

a₂ = F / 2m

a₂ : a₁ = a₂ / a₁

a₂ / a₁ = F/2m ÷ F/m

a₂ / a₁ = F/2m × m/F

a₂ / a₁ = ½

Cross multiply

a₂ = ½a₁

From the illustrations made above, the acceleration of the car will decrease to half the original acceleration
