Answer:

D. 130 J

Explanation:

The coefficient of performance for a machine that is being used to cool, is given by:

COP=\frac{Q_C}{W}=\frac{T_C}{T_H-T_C}

Here Q_C  is the heat removed from the cold reservoir, W is the work required, that is, the energy required to remove the heat from the interior of the house, T_C is the cold temperature and T_H is the hot temperature. Recall use absolutes temperatures(273.15+^\circ C). Replacing and solving for W:

W=Q_c\frac{T_H-T_C}{T_C}\\W=2000J\frac{312.15K-293.15K}{293.15K}\\W=129.63J

A heat pump has a coefficient of performance of 7.05. If the heat pump absorbs 20 cal of heat from the cold outdoors in each cycle, find the heat expelled to the warm indoors. Answer in units of cal. I believe COP (heating mode) : 7.05 and COP = Qh/W Qc = 20 cal so I have to find Qh= ? cal I dont know an equation to put all this together? Please help, thank you.

How would you describe the appearance of the substance after the phase change?
Leona [35]

Answer:

Substances can change phase—often because of a temperature change. At low temperatures, most substances are solid; as the temperature increases, they become liquid; at higher temperatures still, they become gaseous. The process of a solid becoming a liquid is called melting.

The angular speed of the rotor in a centrifuge increases from 420 to 1420 rad/s in a time of 5.00 s. (a) Obtain the angle throug
9966 [12]

Answer:

a) θ = 2500 radians

b) α = 200 rad/s²

Explanation:

Using equations of motion,

θ = (w - w₀)t/2

θ = angle turned through = ?

w = final angular velocity = 1420 rad/s

w₀ = initial angular velocity = 420

t = time taken = 5s

θ = (1420 - 420) × 5/2 = 2500 rads

Again,

w = w₀ + αt

α = angular accelaration = ?

1420 = 420 + 5α

α = 1000/5 = 200 rad/s²

Explain how this happens?
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

When the polythene rod is rubbed with the woolen cloth, static electric charges move from the cloth and into the rod. The rod becomes negatively charged as negative charges move from the cloth and into the rod leaving the cloth positively charged as well.
