Answer:

the maximum possible coefficient performance is 13.7

Explanation:

inside temperature, T_{C} = 61 F = 289.26 K

outside temperature, T_{H} = 99 F = 310.37 K

coefficient of performance, COP (real) = 3.2

according to Carnot's theorem, the coefficient of performance is

COP_{max} = \frac{T_{C} }{T_{H}-x_{C}  }

where

T_{C} is cold temperature

T_{H} is hot temperature

thus,

COP_{max}  = \frac{289.26}{310.37-289.26}

             = 13.7

If F = constant:

W₁ = F·s

If you triple the force and the distance:

W₂ = 3F · 3s = 9 F·s = 9 W₁

8. A rectangle is measured to be 6.4 +0.2 cm by 8.3 $0.2 cm.
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

a) The perimeter of the rectangle is 29.4 centimeters.

b) The uncertainty in its perimeter is 0.8 centimeters.

Explanation:

a) From Geometry we remember that the perimeter of the rectangle (p), measured in centimeters, is represented by the following formula:

p = 2\cdot (w+l) (1)

Where:

w - Width, measured in centimeters.

l - Length, measured in centimeters.

If we know that w = 6.4\,cm and l = 8.3\,cm, then the perimeter of the rectangle is:

p = 2\cdot (6.4\,cm+8.3\,cm)

p = 29.4\,cm

The perimeter of the rectangle is 29.4 centimeters.

b) The uncertainty of the perimeter (\Delta p), measured in centimeters, is estimated by differences. That is:

\Delta p = 2\cdot (\Delta w + \Delta l)  (2)

Where:

\Delta w - Uncertainty in width, measured in centimeters.

\Delta l - Uncertainty in length, measured in centimeters.

If we know that \Delta w = 0.2\,cm and \Delta l = 0.2\,cm, then the uncertainty in perimeter is:

\Delta p = 2\cdot (0.2\,cm+0.2\,cm)

\Delta p = 0.8\,cm

The uncertainty in its perimeter is 0.8 centimeters.

How are frequency, wavelength, and energy related? Choose all that apply.
marta [7]

Explanation:

The energy of a wave is given by :

E=\dfrac{hc}{\lambda}

Where

h is Planck's constant

c is the speed of light

\lambda is wavelength

Energy is inversely proportional to wavelength. Also, the relation between frequency and wavelength is inverse.

If the frequency is high, the wavelength will be shorter.

Hence, the correct options are :

Higher frequencies have shorter wavelengths.

Shorter wavelengths have lower energy.

Lower frequencies have lower energy.
