A heat pump is a device that puts out heat. It involves pumping a lever over and over to get energy so it can work.

Answer:

Heat pump is a device which is used to maintain the system at a temperature more than the atmospheric temperature.

<em>For example</em> if you need to maintain the system at a temperature more than the room temperature<em> (say 50° C), </em>the heat has to be supply continuously by means of supplying an external work on the system. Otherwise the heat easily escapes from the system due to temperature gradient between system and surroundings.

According to the "Thermodynamic  II law, the heat always transfer from high temperature body to low temperature body without aid of external energy, but the heat can also be transfer from low temperature body to high temperature body by means of some external energy.  

From given figure, To maintain the system at temperature 50° C, you need to do external work, because some energy always lost to the surroundings

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

d = 11.1 m

Explanation:

Since the inclined plane is frictionless, this is just a simple application of the conservation law of energy:

\frac{1}{2} m {v}^{2}  = mgh

Let d be the displacement along the inclined plane. Note that the height h in terms of d and the angle is as follows:

\sin(15)  =  \frac{h}{d}  \\ or \: h = d \sin(15)

Plugging this into the energy conservation equation and cancelling m, we get

{v}^{2}  = 2gd \sin(15)

Solving for d,

d =  \frac{ {v}^{2} }{2g \sin(15) }  =  \frac{ {(7.5 \:  \frac{m}{s}) }^{2} }{2(9.8 \:  \frac{m}{ {s}^{2} })(0.259)}   \\ = 11.1 \: m

The operating temperature of a tungsten filament in an incandescent light bulb is 2450 K, and its emissivity is 0.350. Find the
natulia [17]

Answer:

The value is   A =  2.80 *10^{-4} \  m^2

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The  operating temperature is  T  =  2450 \  K

The emissivity is  e =  0.350

 The  power rating is  P  =  200 \  W

Generally the area is mathematically represented as

      A = \frac{P}{ e *  \sigma  *  T^2}

Where  \sigma is the Stefan Boltzmann constant  with value  

      \sigma  =  5.67 *10^{-8} \  W/m^2\cdot K^4

So

     A =  \frac{200}{0.350 *  5.67*10^{-8} *  2450^{4}}

     A =  2.80 *10^{-4} \  m^2

Intense temperature and pressure of regional metamorphism

Explanation:

The process that cause the formation of the Vishnu Schist is the intense temperature and pressure as a result of regional metamorphism.

  • Regional metamorphism is an extensive metamorphism of an area as a result of temperature and pressure changes.
  • The schist is a foliated metamorphic rock usually found in areas of moderate to high grade temperature and pressure.
  • The Vishnu schist must have been metamorphosed before the new sediments were deposited on top.

Why might the term red hot be misleading? (relating to stars)
Allushta [10]

red hot is hot, but other colours are even hotter. stars may be hotter than red hot.

there is also something calle the red shift.
