Answer: Convection is the transfer of heat in fluids such as liquids and gases.

Explanation: Any difference in their temperature will cause a transfer of heat. For convection warm fluids rises since it becomes less dense and cooler fluids sinks.

based on how the book describes a heat pump in sec 16.3 how does a heat pump prove law of conservation of energy

sattari [20]

The law of conservation of energy states that: "energy cannot be created nor destroyed. It can only be transformed from one form to the other". A heat pump transfers heat from a colder area to a warmer area. As the conservation of energy goes, the energy that comes in, must equal the energy that comes out. Although no machine is 100% efficient, the missing energy is supplied by an external energy source, such as electricity.

As you know, a common example of a harmonic oscillator is a mass attached to a spring. In this problem, we will consider a horiz

Eddi Din [679]

a)E= U + K = $\frac{1}{2}$ kx² + $\frac{1}{2}$ mv²

The total energy of the system at any point in the motion is equal to the sum of the elastic potential energy of the spring, U, and of the kinetic energy of the mass, K:

E= U + K = $\frac{1}{2}$ kx² + $\frac{1}{2}$ mv²

where

'k' represents the spring constant

'x' is the compression/stretching of the spring with respect to its equilibrium position

'm' is the mass of the block attached to the spring

and 'v' is the speed of the block

b) A= $\sqrt{\frac{2E}{k}}$

The amplitude of the motion compares to the most extreme displacement of the mass-spring system. The displacement of the system, x(t), at time t, for a simple harmonic oscillator is given by,

x= Asin(ωt+∅)

where

amplitude is 'A'

$\omega=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}$ is the angular frequency of the motion

t is the time

$\phi$ is the phase (we can take $\phi$ =0 )

The amplitude of the motion occurs when the displacement of the motion is maximum: x=A. Regarding energy, the mass-spring system is at its maximum displacement (x=A) when all the mechanical energy of the framework is elastic potential energy, so when the kinetic energy is zero:

K= $\frac{1}{2}mv^2$ =0

E= $\frac{1}{2}kA^2\\$ -->(1)

A= $\sqrt{\frac{2E}{k}}$

c) $v_{max}=\omega A$

When the elastic potential energy is zero, the maximum speed of the system occurs i.e U=0 and the kinetic energy is maximum, so:

U=0

E= $\frac{1}{2}mv_{max}^2$

According to the law of conservation of the mechanical energy, this energy must be equal to the energy of the system at its maximum displacement (1), so we can write

$\frac{1}{2}kA^2=\frac{1}{2}mv_{max}^2$
