The Andromeda galaxy is the closest major galaxy to our own. Andromeda shows a distinct blue-shift of light when we analyze it.

What can we conclude about the Andromeda galaxy?

At the present time, the only way we know of that light can get shifted
toward the blue end of the spectrum is the Doppler effect ... wavelengths
appear shorter than they should be when the source is moving toward us. 

IF that's true in the case of the Andromeda galaxy, it means the galaxy is
moving toward us.

We use the same reasoning to conclude that all the galaxies whose light is red-shifted are moving away from us.  That includes the vast majority of all galaxies that we can see, and it strongly supports the theory of the big bang
and the expanding universe.

If somebody ever comes along and discovers a DIFFERENT way that light
can get shifted to new, longer or shorter wavelengths, then pretty much all
of modern Cosmology will be out the window.  There's a lot riding on the
Doppler effect !

A house that was heated by electric resistance heaters consumed 1200 kWh of electric energy in a winter month. If this house wer
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

$84

Explanation:

The coefficient of performance (COP) show the relationship between the power (kW) output of the heat pump and the power (kW) input to the compressor.

The heater consumed by the heater is 1200 kWh.

For a heat pump with a COP of 2.4, the electric input needed to produce an output of 1200 kWh is:

Electric input to heat pump = 1200 / 2.4 = 500 kWh

That means that supplying a heat pump with 500 kWh produces an output of 1200 kWh

The amount of power saved = power consumed by heater - power consumed by heat pump = 1200 - 500 = 700 kWh

Money saved = $0.12/kWh * 700 kWh = $84
