A household refrigerator that has a power input of 450 W and a COP of 1.5 is to cool 5 large watermelons, 10 kg each, to 8 C. If

the watermelons are initially at 28 C, determine how long it will take for the refrigerator to cool them.

Answer:

\Delta t = 5866.667\,s\,(97.778\,m)

Explanation:

The specific heat for watermelon above freezing point is 3.96\,\frac{kJ}{kg\cdot K}. The heat liberated by the watermelon to cool down to 8°C is:

Q_{cooling} = (5)\cdot (10\,kg)\cdot (3.96\,\frac{kJ}{kg\cdot K} )\cdot (20\,K)

Q_{cooling} = 3960\,kJ

The heat absorbed by the household refrigerator is:

\dot Q_{L} = COP\cdot \dot W_{e}

\dot Q_{L} = 1.5\cdot (0.45\,kW)

\dot Q_{L} = 0.675\,kW

Time needed to cool the watermelons is:

\Delta t = \frac{Q_{cooling}}{\dot Q_{L}}

\Delta t = \frac{3960\,kJ}{0.675\,kW}

\Delta t = 5866.667\,s\,(97.778\,m)

You are hitting a nail with a hammer (mass of hammer =1.8lb) the initial velocity of the hammer is 50 mph (73.33 ft/sec). The ti
Archy [21]

Answer:

The nail exerts a force of 573.88 Pounds on the Hammer in positive j direction.

Explanation:

Since we know that the force is the rate at which the momentum of an object changes.

Mathematically \overrightarrow{F}=\frac{\Delta \overrightarrow{p}}{\Delta t}

The momentum of any body is defines as \overrightarrow{p}=mass\times \overrightarrow{v}

In the above problem we see that the moumentum of the hammer is reduced to zero in 0.023 seconds thus the force on the hammer is calculated using the above relations as

\overrightarrow{F}=\frac{m(\overrightarrow{v_{f}}-\overrightarrow{v_{i}})}{\Delta t}

\overrightarrow{F}=\frac{m(0-(-73.33)}{0.23}=\frac{1.8\times 73.33}{0.23}=573.88Pounds

A piece of aluminum wire is 500 ft long and has a diameter of 0.03 inches. What is the resistance of the piece of wire?​
dexar [7]

Answer:

8.85 Ω

Explanation:

Resistance of a wire is:

R = ρL/A

where ρ is resistivity of the material,

L is the length of the wire,

and A is the cross sectional area.

For a round wire, A = πr² = ¼πd².

For aluminum, ρ is 2.65×10⁻⁸ Ωm, or 8.69×10⁻⁸ Ωft.

Given L = 500 ft and d = 0.03 in = 0.0025 ft:

R = (8.69×10⁻⁸ Ωft) (500 ft) / (¼π (0.0025 ft)²)

R = 8.85 Ω

pentagon [3]

Answer:

b. the supremacy clause

Explanation:

This is clearly a violation of the supremacy clause of the constitution. The supremacy clause makes the constitution and federal laws made under the constitutional authority the supreme law of the united state. And in a case where there is a conflicting state law, as we have here with Oregon, the federal law is supposed to take priority.

So in this case where the federal law and the state law do not agree, the feral law has the power to override the law of the state. So oregon has violated the supremacy clause
