What are geothermal heat pumps used for?

Physics
1 answer:
Igoryamba4 years ago
8 0
Heat pumps are also known as refrigeration units for heating and cooling homes by taking heat from air outside in the winter time and then reversed to take heat out of the inside of a home in the summertime. The Geothermal heat pumps take heat from the ground by way of buried pipes deep in ground with chemicals such as water and glycol or similar and transfers that heat into homes in the winter time.

A parallel-plate air capacitor is made from two plates 0.190 m square, spaced 0.770 cm apart. It is connected to a 120 V battery
Naddik [55]

Answer:

aaksj

Explanation:

a) the capacitance is given of a plate capacitor is given by:

C = \epsilon_0*(A/d)

Where \epsilon_0 is a constant that represents the insulator between the plates (in this case air, \epsilon_0 = 8.84*10^(-12) F/m), A is the plate's area and d is the distance between the plates. So we have:

The plates are squares so their area is given by:

A = L^2 = 0.19^2 = 0.0361 m^2

C = 8.84*10^(-12)*(0.0361/0.0077) = 8.84*10^(-12) * 4.6883 = 41.444*10^(-12) F

b) The charge on the plates is given by the product of the capacitance by the voltage applied to it:

Q = C*V = 41.444*10^(-12)*120 = 4973.361 * 10^(-12) C = 4.973 * 10^(-9) C

c) The electric field on a capacitor is given by:

E = Q/(A*\epsilon_0) = [4.973*10^(-9)]/[0.0361*8.84*10^(-12)]

E = [4.973*10^(-9)]/[0.3191*10^(-12)] = 15.58*10^(3) V/m

d) The energy stored on the capacitor is given by:

W = 0.5*(C*V^2) = 0.5*[41.444*10^(-12) * (120)^2] = 298396.8*10^(-12) = 0.298 * 10 ^6 J

Suppose a skydiver (mass=75kg) is falling toward the earth when the skydiver is 100m above the earth he is moving at 60m/s at th
IRISSAK [1]

Given:

Mass(m)=75kg

Height (h) =100m

v(velocity)=60m/s

a(g)=9.8m/s^2(since it is a free falling object)

Now we know that

v=u+at

We know that

Potential energy=mgh

Where m is the mass

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height above the ground

Substituting the above values we get

Potential energy=75 x 9.8 x 100

=73500N

Now kinetic energy =1/2mv^2

Where m is the mass

v is the velocity

Kinetic energy= 1/2 (75x60 x 60)

Kinetic energy=135000N

Now mechanical energy=

Kinetic energy+ Potential energy

Substituting the values in the above formula we get

Mechanical energy= 73500+135000

=208500N

Explain how forces affect the motion of the planets
dedylja [7]
Any moving object in space will travel in a straight line at the same speed forever, planets included. The planets would be moving in straight lines, but the sun's gravity pulls them toward it. The force of gravity causes the moving planets to travel in roughly circular orbits around the sun.

A water tank is in the shape of an inverted cone with depth 10 meters, and top radius 8 meters. Water is flowing into the tank a
Elis [28]

Answer:

The value of leaking rate in the question is repeated. By searching on the web I could find the correct value wich is 0.002h^2 m^3 /min.

The depth of the water has to be equal to 7.07 m in order to have a stationary volume.

Explanation:

In order to have a stationary water level the flow of water that comes into the tank (0.1 m^3/min) must be equal to the flow of water that goes out of the tank (0.002*h^2 m^3/min), therefore:

0.002*h^2 = 0.1

h^2 = 0.1/0.002

h^2 = 50

h = sqrt(50) = 7.07 m
