Answer: 1.43

Explanation:

Given that:

C (critical angle) = 44.4°

n (refractive index of plastic) = ?

Apply the formula n = 1/sineC, the index of refraction for the plastic can be obtained by:

n = 1/sineC

n = 1/sine 44.4°

n = (1/0.6996)

n = 1.43

Thus, the index of refraction for the plastic is 1.43

A heat pump has a coefficient of performance that is 60% of the Carnot heat pump coefficient of performance. The heat pump is us
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

T_C=118.8 K= 154.2°C

Explanation:

COP_max of carnot heat pump= \frac{T_{H} }{T_{H}-T_{C} }

where T_H and T_C are temperatures of hot and cold reservoirs

Also COP=\frac{Q_H}{W}

in the question COP= \frac{60}{100} \times COP_{max}

⇒\frac{Q_H}{W} =\frac{60}{100}\times\frac{T_H}{T_H-T_C}

heat is added directly to be as efficient as via heat pump

Q_H= W

and T_H= 24° C= 297 K

1=\frac{60}{100}\times \frac{297}{297-T_C}

on calculating the above equation we get

T_C=118.8 K

the outdoor temperature for efficient addition of heat to interior of home

T_C=118.8 K= 154.2°C

If you are given distance and a period of time what can you calculate
Digiron [165]

If you are given distance and a period of time, you can calculate the speed. The velocity of an object is the rate of change of its position with respect to a frame of reference, and is a function of time. Velocity is equivalent to a specification of its speed and direction of motion (e.g. 60 km/h to the north).
