A speeding car is going 72 mi/hr. The driver hits the brakes to slow the car down to the 45 mi/hr speed limit. The car has a mas

s of 1.0 metric tons. What is the magnitude of the impulse on the car?

Answer:

I = -12070 N.s

Explanation:

Given that:

mass of 1.0 metric tons = 1000 kg

initial speed = 72mi/hr = 32.19 m/s

final speed = 45mi/hr = 20.12 m/s

Impulse = change in momentum

I = mv-mu

I = m(v-u)

I = 10³(20.12 - 32.19)

I = 10³(-12.07)

I = -12070 N.s

The negative  sign signifies that the impulse way is to the opposite direction.

What would be the coefficient of performance if the refrigerator (operating between the same temperatures) was instead used as a
viktelen [127]

Complete Question

A certain refrigerator, operating between temperatures of -8.00°C and +23.2°C, can be approximated as a Carnot refrigerator.

What is the refrigerator's coefficient of performance? COP

(b) What If? What would be the coefficient of performance if the refrigerator (operating between the same temperatures) was instead used as a heat pump? COP

Answer:

a

 COP = 8.49

b

  COP_1 = 9.49  

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The lower operation temperature of refrigerator is  T_1 =  -8.00^oC =  265 \  K

     The upper operation temperature of the refrigerator is   T_2 =  23.2 ^oC =  296.2 \  K

Generally the refrigerators coefficient of performance is mathematically represented as

        COP =  \frac{T_1}{T_2 - T_1  }

=>     COP =  \frac{265}{296.2 - 265  }

=>     COP = 8.49

Generally if a refrigerator (operating between the same temperatures) was instead used as a heat pump , the coefficient of performance is mathematically represented as

            COP_1 =  \frac{T_2}{ T_2 - T_1}  

=>         COP_1 =  \frac{296.2}{ 296.2 - 265 }  

=>         COP_1 = 9.49

Why echos are undesirable in a big hall​
KatRina [158]

Answer:

Helloooo

Sound created in a big hall will persist by repeated reflection from the walls until it is reduced to a value where it is no longer audible. The repeated reflection that results in this persistence of sound is called reverberation. In an auditorium or big hall excessive reverberation is highly undesirable

What type of energy transfer occurs through light or electromagnetic waves?
Free_Kalibri [48]
Radiation is the transfer of heat energy through space by electromagnetic radiation. Most of the electromagnetic radiation that comes to the earth from the sun is in the form of visible light. Light is made of waves of different frequencies.

Light with an intensity of 1 kW/m2 falls normally on a surface and is completely absorbed. The radiation pressure is
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

The radiation pressure of the light is 3.33 x 10⁻⁶ Pa.

Explanation:

Given;

intensity of light, I = 1 kW/m²

The radiation pressure of light is given as;

Radiation \ Pressure = \frac{Flux \ density}{Speed \ of \ light}

I kW = 1000 J/s

The energy flux density = 1000 J/m².s

The speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

Thus, the radiation pressure of the light is calculated as;

Radiation \ pressure = \frac{1000}{3*10^{8}} \\\\Radiation \ pressure =3.33*10^{-6} \ Pa

Therefore, the radiation pressure of the light is 3.33 x 10⁻⁶ Pa.
