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>

If a board with an area of 3m2 has a 12 N force exerted on it, what is the pressure on the board?
Cerrena [4.2K]
4 N/cm^2 is the answer. the way you get this is the formula for pressure is P=F/A. So you would plug in the numbers which would make the equation P=12/3 which you know equals 4. The units for pressure is N/cm^2 or N/m^2

A uniform magnetic field passes through a horizontal circular wire loop at an angle 19.5 ∘ from the vertical. The magnitude of t
nlexa [21]

To solve this problem, we will apply the concepts related to Faraday's law that describes the behavior of the emf induced in the loop. Remember that this can be expressed as the product between the number of loops and the variation of the magnetic flux per unit of time. At the same time the magnetic flux through a loop of cross sectional area is,

\Phi = BA Cos \theta

Here,

\theta = Angle between areal vector and magnetic field direction.

According to Faraday's law, induced emf in the loop is,

\epsilon= -N \frac{d\Phi }{dt}

\epsilon = -N \frac{(BAcos\theta)}{dt}

\epsilon = -NAcos\theta \frac{dB}{dt}

\epsilon = -N\pi r^2 cos\theta \frac{d}{dt} ( ( 3.75 T ) + ( 3.05T/s ) t + ( -6.95 T/s^2 ) t^2)

\epsilon = -N\pi r^2 cos\theta( (3.05T/s)-(13.9T/s)t )

At time t = 5.71s,  Induced emf is,

\epsilon = -(1) \pi (0.220m)^2 cos(19.5\°)(  (3.05T/s)-(13.9T/s)(5.71s))

\epsilon = 10.9V

Therefore the magnitude of the induced emf is 10.9V

5. An electrical power plant generates electricity with a current of 50 A and a potential difference of 20 000 V. In order to mi
lakkis [162]

Answer: Current = 2 A

Explanation:

Given that an electrical power plant generates electricity with a

current I = 50 A

Potential difference V = 20 000 V

The resistance R will be achieved by Ohms law formula which state that

V = IR

But the power generated will be the product of potential difference and the current

Power P = IV

P = 50 × 20000

P = 1, 000000 W

When the transformer steps up the potential difference to 500 000 V before it is transmitted

Power is always constant.

Using the formula for power again with

V = 500000

1000000 = 500000× I

Make I the subject of formula

Current I = 1000000/500000

Current I = 2 A
