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.

For example if you need to maintain the system at a temperature more than the room temperature (say 50° C), 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

Which fundamental force is very strong across a short distance?

lesya692 [45]

B. Strong nuclear

Because the strong nuclear force is the strongest at short distances, it dominates over the other forces and the two protons become bound, forming a helium nucleus (typically a neutron is also needed to keep the helium nucleus stable).

An object is dropped from a height of 75.0 m above ground level. (a) determine the distance traveled during the first second.

barxatty [35]

The relevant formula we can use in this case would be:

h = v0 t + 0.5 g t^2

where,

h = height or distance travelled

v0 = initial velocity = 0 since it was dropped

t = time = 1 seconds

g = 9.8 m/s^2

So calculating for height h:

h = 0 + 0.5 * 9.8 m/s^2 * (1 s)^2

h = 4.9 meters

A ten loop coil of area 0.23 m2 is in a 0.047 T uniform magnetic field oriented so that the maximum flux goes through the coil.

Nana76 [90]

Answer:

0.32 V

Explanation:

N = 10, A = 0.23 m^2, B = 0.47 T, t = 0.34 s

The average induced emf is given by

e = - N dФ / dt

Where, dФ be the change in magnetic flux in time dt.

dФ / dt = d / dt (B A) = A dB/dt

So,

e = - 10 x 0.23 x 0.047 / 0.34 = - 0.32 V

The negative sign shows the direction of induced emf.
