Explain Why must a cooling system do work to transfer thermal energy?

Although internal energy will not spontaneously flow from a cold region to a hot region, it can be forced to do so by doing work on the system.Refrigerators and heat pumps are examples of heat engines which cause energy to be transferred from a cold area to a hot area. Usually this is done with the aid of a phase change, i.e., a refrigerant liquid is forced to evaporate and extract energy from the cold area. Then it is compressed and forced to condense in the hot area, dumping its heat of vaporization into the hot area. ARE YOU FROM K12?

Natasha2012 [34]

The work done by $\vec F$ along the given path C from A to B is given by the line integral,

$\displaystyle \int_C \mathbf F\cdot\mathrm d\mathbf r$

I assume the path itself is a line segment, which can be parameterized by

$\vec r(t) = (1-t)(-2\,\vec\imath + 5\,\vec\jmath) + t(4\,\vec\imath+7\,\vec\jmath) \\\\ \vec r(t) = (6t-2)\,\vec\imath+(2t+5)\,\vec\jmath \\\\ \vec r(t) = x(t)\,\vec\imath + y(t)\,\vec\jmath$

with 0 ≤ t ≤ 1. Then the work performed by F along C is

$\displaystyle \int_0^1 \left(6x(t)^3\,\vec\imath-4y(t)\,\vec\jmath\right)\cdot\frac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm dt}\left[x(t)\,\vec\imath + y(t)\,\vec\jmath\right]\,\mathrm dt \\\\ = \int_0^1 (288(3t-1)^3-8(2t+5)) \,\mathrm dt = \boxed{312}$

Is there any machine that is 100% efficient? why?why not

denis-greek [22]

Answer:

No, it's not there.

Explanation:

For a machine to be 100% efficient, it has to be with an output which is equal to its input. But machines have an out put less than an input, hence efficiency below 100%.

To solve the exercise it is necessary to take into account the concepts of wavelength as a function of speed.

From the definition we know that the wavelength is described under the equation,

$\lambda = \frac{c}{f}$
