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>

Light enters water from air at an angle of 25° with the normal, Θ1. If water has an index of refraction of 1.33, determine Θ2.
vladimir1956 [14]
By Snell's law:

η = sini / sinr.        i = 25,  η = 1.33

1.33 = sin25° / sinr

sinr = sin25° / 1.33 = 0.4226/1.33 = 0.3177    Use a calculator.

r = sin⁻¹(0.3177)

r ≈ 18.52°

Option A.

God's grace.

The flow of electrons through a circuit is measured in which of the following units? A. electrical pressure B. amperes C. volts
damaskus [11]

The total quantity of electrons that have flowed through a circuit is a
quantity of charge, measured in Coulombs, or in Ampere-seconds.

The <em><u>rate</u></em> of flow of electrons, or more accurately the rate of flow of
the charge on them, is electrical current.  Its unit is the Ampere. 
1 Ampere is 1 Coulomb of charge per second.
