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>

Car A starts out traveling at 35.0 km/h and accelerates at 25.0 km/h2 for 15.0 min. Car B starts out traveling at 45.0 km/h and
lawyer [7]

1 kilometre=1000 metre

      1 hour = 3600 second

       1\ km/hr=\frac{1000}{3600} m/s

       1\ km/hr=\frac{5}{18} m/s

The initial velocity of car A is 35.0 km/hr i.e

                                         35.0\ km/hr=35*\frac{5}{18} m/s

                                                                   = 9.72 m/s

The initial velocity of car B is 45 km/hr =12.5 m/s

The initial velocity of car C is 32 km/hr = 8.89 m/s

The initial velocity of car D is 110 km/hr=30.56 m/s

The acceleration of car A is given as  25\ km/hr^2

                                            =\ 25*\frac{1000}{3600*3600} m/s^2

                                            =0.00192901234 m/s^2

The time taken by car A = 15 min.

From equation of kinematics we know that-

                                 v= u+at      [Here v is the final velocity and a is the acceleration and t is the time]

Final velocity of A,  v = 9.72 m/s +[0.00192901234×15×60]m/s

                                   =11.456111106 m/s

The acceleration of B is given as    15\ km/hr^2

                                    =0.00115740740740 m/s^2

The time taken by car B =20 min

The final velocity of B is -

                             v= u+at

                               = u-at    [Here a is negative due to deceleration]

                               =12.5 m/s +[0.0011574074074×20×60]

                               =13.8888888.....

                               =13.9

The acceleration of C is given as    40\ km/hr^2          

                                                            =\ 0.003086419753 m/s^2

The time taken by car C =30 min

The final velocity of C is-

                                v = u+at

                                   =8.89 m/s+[0.003086419753×30×60] m/s

                                   =14.4455555555..m/s

                                   =14.45 m/s

The car C is decelerating.The deceleration is given as-  60\ km/hr^2

                                                                      =0.0046296296296m/s^2

The time taken by car D= 45 min.

The final velocity of the car D is-

                     v =u+at

                        =30.56 -[0.00462962962962×45×60]m/s

                        =18.06 m/s

Hence from above we see that the magnitude of final velocity car C and B is close to 15 m/s. The car C is very close as compared to car B.

An automobile engine has an efficiency of 22.0% and produces 2510 J of work. How much heat is rejected by the engine
katrin [286]

Answer:

If efficiency is .22 then  W = .22 * Q   where Q is the heat input

Heat Input    Q = 2510 / .22 = 11,400 J

Heat rejected = 11.400 - 2510 = 8900  J of heat wasted

Also, 8900 J / (4.19 J / cal) = 2120 cal

A roller coaster goes from 10 m/s to 30 m/s in 5 seconds. What is it's acceleration? <br> Vf-Vi/T
Olin [163]
Acceleration = (final velocity-initial velocity)/time taken
=(30-10)/5
= 4m/s2
Hope this helps
