Air conditioners sold in the United States are given a seasonal energy-efficiency ratio (SEER) rating that consumers can use to

compare different models. A SEER rating is the ratio of heat pumped to energy input, similar to a COP but using English units, so a higher SEER rating means a more efficient model. You can determine the COP of an air conditioner by dividing the SEER rating by 3.4For inside temperature 25?C and outside temperature 34?C when you'd be using air conditioning, estimate the theoretical maximum SEERrating of an air conditioner. (New air conditioners must have a SEER rating that exceeds 13, quite a bit less than the theoretical maximum, but there are practical issues that reduce efficiency.)

Answer:

112.58

Explanation:

The Coefficient of Performance of any system is denoted by COP=Q/W, where Q is the useful heat supplied or removed and W is the work required by the system. According to the first law of thermoddynamics Qh= Qc + W, where Qh is the heat transfered to the hot reservoir and Qc is the heat collected from the cold reservoir. Substituting the values for W and apllying the limitation for maximum theoretical efficiency we end up with the eqution shown below.

The Coefficient of Performance of air conditioner or COP is denoted by

COP(cool) = Tc/(Th- Tc)

where Tc: the lowest temperature

           Th: the highest temperature

converting the values to Kelvin and adding them in the above equation

COP(cool) = (25+273)/((34+273)-(25+273))

                 = 298/(307-298)

                 = 298/9 = 33.11

From the question, it is stated that COP=SEER/3.4

hence, SEER= COP * 3.4

SEER= 33.11 * 3.4 = 112.58

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

a) It is moving at 43.15\frac{m}{s^{2}} when reaches the ground.

b) It is moving at 101.44\frac{m}{s^{2}} when reaches the ground.

Explanation:

Work energy theorem states that the total work on a body is equal its change in kinetic energy, this is:

W=K_f-K_i (1)

with W the total work, Ki the initial kinetic energy and Kf the final kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is defined as:

K=\frac{mv^2}{2} (2)

with m the mass and v the velocity.

Using (2) on (1):

W=\frac{mv_f^2}{2}-\frac{mv_i^2}{2} (3)

In both cases the total work while the objects are in the air is the work gravity field does on them. Work is force times the displacement, so in our case is weight (w=mg) of the object times displacement (d):

W=Fd=wd=mgd (4)

Using (4) on (3):

mgd=\frac{mv_f^2}{2}-\frac{mv_i^2}{2} (5)

That's the equation we're going to use on a) and b).

a) Because the branch started form rest initial velocity (vi) is equal zero, using this and solving (5) for final velocity:

v_f=\sqrt{\frac{2mgd}{m}}=\sqrt{2gd}=\sqrt{2*9.8*95}

v_f=43.15\frac{m}{s^{2}}

b) In this case the final velocity of the boulder is instantly zero when it reaches its maximum height, another important thing to note is that in this case work is negative because weight is opposing boulder movement, so we should use -mgd:

-mgd=-\frac{mv_i^2}{2}

Solving for initial velocity (when the boulder left the volcano):

v_i=\sqrt{\frac{2mgd}{m}}=\sqrt{2gd}=\sqrt{2*9.8*525}

v_i=101.44 \frac{m}{s^{2}}

Particle q1 has a positive 6 µc charge. particle q2 has a positive 2 µc charge. they are located 0.1 meters apart. recall that k
Dmitrij [34]

(a) Force between the two charges

The electrostatic force between the two charges is given by:

F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}

where k is the Coulomb's constant, q1 and q2 the two charges, r their separation.


In this problem:

q_1 =6 \mu C=6 \cdot 10^{-6}C

q_2=2 \mu C=2 \cdot 10^{-6}C

r=0.1 m


Substituting into the equation, we find

F=(8.99 \cdot 10^9 Nm^2C^{-2})\frac{(6 \cdot 10^{-6}C)(2 \cdot 10^{-6}C)}{(0.1 m)^2}=10.8 N


(b) direction of particle q2

Particle q2 wants to move in the direction of the force acting on it. The direction of the force depends on the relative sign of the two charges: like charges attract each other, opposite charges repel each other. In this case, the two charges are both positive, so they repel each other and q2 tends to move away from particle q1.

A circular radar antenna on a coast guard ship has a diameter of 2.10 m and radiates at a frequency of 16.0 ghz. two small boats
solmaris [256]
By definition,
q = 1.22y/D

Where,
q = min. angle
y = wavelength
D = Aperture diameter = diameter of the antenna

At distance "x" from the antenna,
L =xq = 1.22xy/D
Where, L = Min. distance

But, y =c/f = (3*10^8)/(16*10^9) = 0.01875 m

Substituting;
L = 1.22*5*10^3*0.01875/2.1 = 54.46 m

Consider four point charges arranged in a square with sides of length L. Three of the point charges have charge q and one of the
nydimaria [60]

Answer:F_{net}=\frac{kq^2}{(L)^2}\left [ \frac{1}{2}+\sqrt{2}\right ]

Explanation:

Given

Three charges of magnitude q is placed at three corners and fourth charge is placed at last corner with -q charge

Force due to the charge placed at diagonally opposite end on -q charge

F_1=\frac{kq(-q)}{(L\sqrt{2})^2}

where  L\sqrt{2}=Distance between the two charges

F_1=-\frac{kq^2}{2L^2}

negative sign indicates that it is an attraction force

Now remaining two charges will apply the same amount of force as they are equally spaced from -q charge

F_2=\frac{kq(-q)}{(L)^2}

The magnitude of force by both the  charge is same but at an angle of 90^{\circ}

thus combination of two forces at 2 and 3 will be

F'=\sqrt{2}\frac{kq^2}{2L^2}

Now it will add with force due to 1 charge

Thus net force will be

F_{net}=\frac{kq^2}{(L)^2}\left [ \frac{1}{2}+\sqrt{2}\right ]
