Answer:
The correct option is;
(c) 64W
Explanation:
Here we have the Coefficient Of Performance, COP given by
The heat change from 23° to 6°C for a mass of 10 kg/h which is equivalent to 10/(60×60) kg/s or 2.78 g/s we have
= m·c·ΔT = 2.78 × 4.18 × (23 - 6) = 197.39 J
Therefore, plugging in the value for in the COP equation we get;
which gives
Since we were working with mass flow rate then the power input is the same as the work done per second and the power input to the refrigerator = 63.674 J/s ≈ 64 W.
The power input to the refrigerator is approximately 64 W.

The gravitational force between the two objects A) It increases.
Explanation:
The gravitational force between two objects is given by:
(1)
where
G is the gravitational constant
are the masses of the two objects
r is the separation between the objects
In this problem, object A and object B are initially at a distance of
r = 100 m
And at that distance, the force between them is
F
Later, object A gains some mass. We notice from eq.(1) that the gravitational force is directly proportional to the mass: therefore, if the mass of either of the two objects increases, then the gravitational force between them also increases. Therefore, the new force will be larger than the original force:
F' > F
