The correct option is A.
There are three types of radiation, these are alpha, beta and gamma radiations. Alpha radiation has the lowest penetrating power and can be easily stopped by a thin sheet of paper. Beta radiation has more penetrating power than alpha radiation and can be absorbed by a few centimeter of aluminium sheet. Gamma radiation has the highest penetrating power and can only be stopped by heavy materials such as lead blocks.

A heat pump used to heat a house runs about one-third of the time. The house is losing heat at an average rate of 22,000 kJ/h. I
Natali5045456 [20]

The power that heat pump draws when running will be 6.55 kj/kg

A heat pump is a device that uses the refrigeration cycle to transfer thermal energy from the outside to heat a building (or a portion of a structure).

Given a heat pump used to heat a house runs about one-third of the time. The house is losing heat at an average rate of 22,000 kJ/h and if the COP of the heat pump is 2.8

We have to determine the power the heat pump draws when running.

To solve this question we have to assume that the heat pump is at steady state

Let,

Q₁ = 22000 kj/kg

COP = 2.8

Since heat pump used to heat a house runs about one-third of the time.

So,

Q₁ = 3(22000) = 66000 kj/kg

We known the formula for cop of heat pump which is as follow:

COP = Q₁/ω

2.8 = 66000 / ω

ω = 66000 / 2.8

ω = 6.66 kj/kg

Hence the power that heat pump draws when running will be 6.55 kj/kg

Explain why atomic radius decreases as you move to the right across a period for main-group elements but not for transition elem
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

Explained.

Explanation:

Only the first question has been answered

In a period from left to right the nuclear charge increases and hence nucleus size is compressed. Thus,  atomic radius decreases.

In transition elements, electrons in ns^2 orbital remain same which is the outer most orbital having 2 electrons and the electrons are added to (n-1) d orbital. So, outer orbital electron experience almost same nuclear attraction and thus size remains constant.

An object moves 20m east in 30s and then returns to its starting point taking an additional 50s. If west is chosen as the positi
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

b) 0.5 m/s

Explanation:

let V be the averare speed of the object.

the average speed is given by:

V = total distance / total time

   = (20+20)/(30+50)

   = 0.5 m/s

Therefore, the average speed of the object is 0.5 m/s.
