a. 7.0 m/s

First of all, we need to convert the angular speed (1200 rpm) from rpm to rad/s:

\omega = 1200 \frac{rev}{min} \cdot \frac{2\pi rad/rev}{60 s/min}=125.6 rad/s

Now we know that the row is located 5.6 cm from the centre of the disc:

r = 5.6 cm = 0.056 m

So we can find the tangential speed of the row as the product between the angular speed and the distance of the row from the centre of the circle:

v=\omega r = (125.6 rad/s)(0.056 m)=7.0 m/s

b.  875 m/s^2

The acceleration of the row of data (centripetal acceleration) is given by

a=\frac{v^2}{r}

where we have

v = 7.0 m/s is the tangential speed

r = 0.056 m is the distance of the row from the centre of the trajectory

Substituting numbers into the formula, we find

a=\frac{(7.0 m/s)^2}{0.056 m}=875 m/s^2

What would be the coefficient of performance if the refrigerator (operating between the same temperatures) was instead used as a
viktelen [127]

Complete Question

A certain refrigerator, operating between temperatures of -8.00°C and +23.2°C, can be approximated as a Carnot refrigerator.

What is the refrigerator's coefficient of performance? COP

(b) What If? What would be the coefficient of performance if the refrigerator (operating between the same temperatures) was instead used as a heat pump? COP

Answer:

a

 COP = 8.49

b

  COP_1 = 9.49  

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The lower operation temperature of refrigerator is  T_1 =  -8.00^oC =  265 \  K

     The upper operation temperature of the refrigerator is   T_2 =  23.2 ^oC =  296.2 \  K

Generally the refrigerators coefficient of performance is mathematically represented as

        COP =  \frac{T_1}{T_2 - T_1  }

=>     COP =  \frac{265}{296.2 - 265  }

=>     COP = 8.49

Generally if a refrigerator (operating between the same temperatures) was instead used as a heat pump , the coefficient of performance is mathematically represented as

            COP_1 =  \frac{T_2}{ T_2 - T_1}  

=>         COP_1 =  \frac{296.2}{ 296.2 - 265 }  

=>         COP_1 = 9.49

MrRa [10]

Answer:

Mg or your weight.

Explanation:

When your velocity is constant, the net force acting on you is 0. That means the upwards force of air resistance must fully balance the downwards force of gravity on you, which is Mg.
