The room contains a refrigerator, operated by an electric motor. The motor does work at the rate of 438 W when it is running. Th

e refrigerator removes heat from the food storage space at a rate of 450 W when the motor is running. In an effort to cool the room, you open the refrigerator door and let the motor run continuously. At what net rate is heat added to (+) or subtracted from (−) the room and all of its contents?

Answer: Heat is removed from the room at 12W

Explanation:

Energy (heat) is generated by the the rotor at a rate

∆Q/t = 438W

Work is done (heat removal) by the refrigerator at a rate

∆W/t = 450W

Net rate of heat removed =

∆Q/t - ∆W/t

= (438 - 450)W

= -12W

2. For each pair of variables, identify which is the independent and which is the dependent variable. a. How much gas is left in
Korvikt [17]

For each pair Independent variable and the dependent variable is -

a. How much gas is left in the gas tank vs. how far the car has traveled.

  • Independent variable =  how far the car has traveled
  • dependent variable = How much gas is left in the gas tank

b. How much money you've spent vs. how much money is in your wallet.

  • Independent variable =  How much money you've spent
  • dependent variable = how much money is in your wallet.

c. How far a toy car traveled vs. how much time went by​

  • Independent variable =  how much time went by​
  • dependent variable = How far a toy car traveled

An independent variable in any experiment or research is a variable that is manipulated or changed in the experiment, this change leads to a direct effect on the dependent variable.

A dependent variable is a variable that is directly affected by the independent variable and it is the variable that is measured or tested in an experiment.

Thus,

a. How much gas is left in the gas tank vs. how far the car has traveled.

  • Independent variable =  how far the car has traveled
  • dependent variable = How much gas is left in the gas tank

b. How much money you've spent vs. how much money is in your wallet.

  • Independent variable =  How much money you've spent
  • dependent variable = how much money is in your wallet.

c. How far a toy car traveled vs. how much time went by​

  • Independent variable =  how much time went by​
  • dependent variable = How far a toy car traveled

A plastic box has an initial volume of 2.00 m 3 . It is then submerged below the surface of a liquid and its volume decreases to
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

Volume strain is 0.02

Explanation:

Volume strain is defined as the change in volume to the original volume.

It is given that,

Initial volume of the plastic box is 2 m³

It is then submerged below the surface of a liquid and its volume decreases to 1.96 m³

We need to find the volume strain on the box. It is defined as the change in volume divided by the original volume. So,

\delta V=\dfrac{V_f-V_i}{V_i}\\\\\delta V=\dfrac{1.96-2}{2}\\\\\delta V=0.02

So, the volume strain on the box is 0.02.

How much energy ( in joules ) is released when 0.06 kilograms of mercury is condensed to a liquid at the same temperature ?
aleksley [76]

Answer:

B. 17,705.1 J

Explanation:

The hear released when the mercury condenses into a liquid is given by:

Q=m \lambda_v

where

m = 0.06 kg is the mass of the mercury

\lambda_v is the latent heat of vaporization

For mercury, the latent heat of vaporization is \lambda_v = 296 kJ/kg, so the heat released during the process is:

Q=(0.06 kg)(296 kJ/kg)=17.76 kJ = 17,760 J

So, the closest option is

B. 17,705.1 J
