Aleksei’s family purchased a new water heater that is a heat pump. After installation, Aleksei noticed that the room containing

the new water heater felt cooler than the rest of the house.
What is the best explanation for why the room with the heat pump was cooler than the rest of the house?

a) Thermal energy from the water was transferred to the surrounding air.
b) The burning fuel increased the thermal energy in the air.
c) Thermal energy from the air surrounding the water heater was transferred to the water.
d) The burning fuel absorbed thermal energy from the surrounding air.

A heat pump is a device used to heat something, in this case water. Heat pump takes heat from colder object and transfers it to warmer object. This is opposite to <span>direction of spontaneous heat transfer which from warmer to colder object.

In this problem a room got colder while water got warmer. This is due to work done by heat pump. This is what is described in correct answer c).
a) is not correct because it shows </span>direction of spontaneous heat transfer. It also says that <span>Aleksei’s family purchased a new water heater and in description givne in a) it would mean that water got colder.
b) is not correct because if the </span><span>burning fuel increased the thermal energy in the air it would mean that this room got warmer than rest of house.
d) is not correct because burning fuel does not absorb </span><span>thermal energy. It releases it.</span>

A hollow cylinder with an inner radius of 5 mm and an outer radius of 26 mm conducts a 4-A current flowing parallel to the axis
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

B = 38.2μT

Explanation:

By the Ampere's law you have that the magnetic field generated by a current, in a wire, is given by:

B=\frac{\mu_o I_r}{2\pi r}     (1)

μo: magnetic permeability of vacuum = 4π*10^-7 T/A

r: distance from the center of the cylinder, in which B is calculated

Ir: current for the distance r

In this case, you first calculate the current Ir, by using the following relation:

I_r=JA_r

J: current density

Ar: cross sectional area for r in the hollow cylinder

Ar is given by  A_r=\pi(r^2-R_1^2)

The current density is given by the total area and the total current:

J=\frac{I_T}{A_T}=\frac{I_T}{\pi(R_2^2-R_1^2)}

R2: outer radius = 26mm = 26*10^-3 m

R1: inner radius = 5 mm = 5*10^-3 m

IT: total current  = 4 A

Then, the current in the wire for a distance r is:

I_r=JA_r=\frac{I_T}{\pi(R_2^2-R_1^2)}\pi(r^2-R_1^2)\\\\I_r=I_T\frac{r^2-R_1^2}{R_2^2-R_1^2}  (2)

You replace the last result of equation (2) into the equation (1):

B=\frac{\mu_oI_T}{2\pi r}(\frac{r^2-R_1^2}{R_2^2-R_1^2})

Finally. you replace the values of all parameters:

B=\frac{(4\pi*10^{-7}T/A)(4A)}{2\PI (12*10^{-3}m)}(\frac{(12*10^{-3})^2-(5*10^{-3}m)^2}{(26*10^{-3}m)^2-(5*10^{-3}m)^2})\\\\B=3.82*10^{-5}T=38.2\mu T

hence, the magnitude of the magnetic field at a point 12 mm from the center of the hollow cylinder, is 38.2μT

Is a spring stores 5 J of energy when its conpresses by 0.5 m what is the spring constant of the spring?
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

k = 40 N/m

Explanation:

A spring's energy is given:

U = 0.5kx^2

U is the energy in the spring, k is the spring constant and x is the spring displacement.

We are told that the spring stores 5J of energy, therefore, U = 5J. We are also told that the spring is compressed by 0.5m, so the spring x = 0.5m

5 J = 0.5k(0.5m)^2\\5J = 0.5k(0.25m^2)\\5J = k*(0.125)m^2\\\\k = 5J/(0.125)m^2\\k = 40 N/m

k = 40 N/m

Hope this helps!
