In addition to acceleration of gravity we experience centrifugal acceleration away from the axis of rotation of the earth. this additional acceleration has value ac = r w^2 where w = angular velocity and r is distance from your spot on earth to the earth's axis of rotation so r = R cos(l) where l = 60 deg is the lattitude and R the earth's radius and w = 1 / (24hr x 3600sec/hr)
<span>now you look up R and calculate ac then you combine the centrifugal acc. vector ac with the gravitational acceleration vector ag = G Me/R^2 to get effective ag' = ag -</span>

A heat pump is to be used for heating a house in winter. The house is to be maintained at 70°F at all times. When the temperatur

Answer:

$\dot{W_{H} } = 4244.48 Btu/h$

Explanation:

Temperature of the house, $T_{H} = 70^{0} F$

Convert to rankine, $T_{H} = 70^{0}+ 460 = 530 R$

Heat is extracted at 40°F i.e $T_{L} = 40^{0}F = 40 + 460 = 500 R$

Calculate the coefficient of performance of the heat pump, COP

$COP = \frac{T_{H} }{T_{H} - T_{L} } \\COP = \frac{530 }{530 - 500 }\\ COP = \frac{530}{30} \\COP = 17.67$

The minimum power required to run the heat pump is given by the formula:

$\dot{W_{H} } = \frac{\dot{Q_{H} }}{COP} \\$ ...............(*)

Where the heat losses from the house, $\dot{Q_{H} } = 75,000 Btu/h$

Substituting these values into * above

$\dot{W_{H} } = \frac{75000}{17.67} \\ \dot{W_{H} } = 4244.48 Btu/h$

How can the density of irregularly shaped objects can be calculated?

Aleks04 [339]

1.Use the balance to find the mass of the object. Record the value on the "Density Data Chart."
2.Pour water into a graduated cylinder up to an easily-read value, such as 50 milliliters and record the number.
3.Drop the object into the cylinder and record the new value in millimeters.
4.The difference between the two numbers is the object's volume. Remember that 1 milliliter is equal to 1 cubic centimeter. Record the volume on the data chart.
5.Compute the density of the object by dividing the mass value by the volume value. Record the density on the data chart.

What advantages does an electromagnet have over a permanent magnet?

KonstantinChe [14]

Electromagnets can be turned off, this makes it easier to release things from the magnetic field.

Hope this helps :)
