How does a heat pump resemble a refrigeration system?

A heat pump is a device that is capable of transferring heat energy from a source of heat to what is known as the heat sink. It also moves thermal energy in the opposite direction of a spontaneous heat transfer through heat absorption from a cold space and releasing it to a warmer space.

When a heat pump is being utilized for heating, it employs the same principle with that of the refrigeration cycle used by an air conditioner or a refrigerator, but in the opposite direction since it releases heat into a conditioned space rather than the surrounding environment. Moreover, heat pump resembles much as refrigeration since it has the same components with the latter except for the presence of a reverse valve.

Answer:

2.2386 m/s

Explanation:

I think you would use the momentum equation.

m1v1=m2v2

m1= mass of the bag (8.5kg)

v1= speed of bag (6.9 m/s)

m2= mass of bag and cart (26.2 kg)

v2= speed of cart and bag

Plug these numbers all into the equation and you solve for v2 which ends up at 2.2386 m/s

Answer:

$K_{i}+U_{g,i} = K_{f}+U_{g,f}$

Explanation:

A closed system is a system where exists energy interactions with surroundings, but not mass interactions. If we neglect any energy interactions from boundary work, heat, electricity, magnetism and nuclear phenomena and assume that process occurs at steady state and all effects from non-conservative forces can be neglected, then the equation of energy conservation is reduce to this form:

$\Delta K +\Delta U_{g} = 0$ (1)
