Several days after snowfall , the roofs of some homes on your street have almost no snow on them, while the roofs on other homes

are still covered. Assuming they have all received the same amount of sunlight, give one reason for this observation related to thermal energy & insulation.

Explanation:

This due to thermal insulation of some of the roof.

An insulator is body is a poor conductor of heat and will require high thermal energy to cause temperature changes.

  • A house with a roof that is thermally insulated will have poor heat conduction.
  • Since little heat is conducted, there wont be enough thermal energy to melt the snow.
  • Thermal energy is directly related to heat.
  • A house that is not insulated will absorb a lot of heat.
  • This will cause the snow to melt very fast.

aleksklad [387]
The answer is 2.49 x 10^5 KJ. This was obtained (1) use the formula for specific heat to achieve Q or heat then (2) get the energy to melt the copper lastly (3) Subtract both work and the total energy required to completely melt the copper bar is achieved.

The gage pressure in a liquid at a depth of 3 m is read to be 39 kPa. Determine the gage pressure in the same liquid at a depth
ioda

Answer: 117 kPa

Explanation:

For the liquid at depth 3 m, the gauge pressure is equal to = P₁=39 kPa

For the liquid at depth 9m, the gauge pressure is equal to= P₂

Now we are given the condition that the liquid is same. That must imply that the density must be same throughout the depth.

So, For finding gauge pressure we have formula P= ρ * g * h

Also gravity also remains same for both liquids

So taking ratio of their respective pressures we have

\frac{P_{1} }{\\P_2}= \frac{density * g * h_1}{density * g * h_2}

So \frac{39}{P_2}= \frac{3}{9}

Or P₂= 39 * 3 = 117 kPa

Describe what happens to the system inside of a refrigerator or freezer in terms of heat transfer, work, and conservation of ene
Over [174]

Answer: A. Work is done on the system and heat is transferred from the system for a net decrease in internal energy.

Explanation:

A refrigerator is a device which dispenses heat from the close system to a warmer area or in the surrounding. By dispensing the heat the internal temperature of the refrigerator drops. The system of refrigerator violates the second law of thermodynamics. As it performs the work to cool the region instead of heating the region. The work is done on the system and the internal energy decreases and the heat energy is liberated to the surrounding area. A refrigerator is an open system.
