What are geothermal heat pumps used for?

1 answer:

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.

What are the characteristics and ph level of acids?

12345 [234]

General Characteristics of Acids & Bases. Chemists measure the strength of an acid or base by its pH, which is a term that refers to the "power of hydrogen.". The midpoint of the pH scale is neutral. Compounds with a pH lower than the midpoint value are acidic while those with a higher value are basic or alkaline.

The girl makes a microscope with a 3.0 cm focal length objective and a 5.0 cm eyepiece. The microscope tube length is 10 cm. Use

saul85 [17]

To solve this problem we will use the concepts related to Magnification. Magnification is the process of enlarging the apparent size, not physical size, of something. This enlargement is quantified by a calculated number also called "magnification".

The overall magnification of microscope is

$M = \frac{Nl}{f_ef_0}$

Where

N = Near point

l = distance between the object lens and eye lens

$f_0$ = Focal length

$f_e$ = Focal of eyepiece

Given that the minimum distance at which the eye is able to focus is about 25cm we have that N = 25cm

Replacing,

$M = \frac{25*10}{3*5}$

$M = 16.67\approx 17\\$

Therefore the correct answer is C.

An electron and a proton are each placed at rest in an electric field of 500 N/C. Calculate the speed (and indicate the directio

Bumek [7]

Answer:

For proton: 2592 m/s In the same direction of electric field.

For electron: 4752000 m/s In the opposite direction of electric field.

Explanation:

E = 500 N/C, t = 54 ns = 54 x 10^-9 s,

Acceleration = Force /mass

Acceleration of proton, ap = q E / mp

ap = (1.6 x 10^-19 x 500) / (1.67 x 10^-27) = 4.8 x 10^10 m/s^2

Acceleration of electron, ae = q E / me

ae = (1.6 x 10^-19 x 500) / (9.1 x 10^-31) = 8.8 x 10^13 m/s^2

For proton:

u = 0, ap = 4.8 x 10^10 m/s^2, t = 54 x 10^-9 s

use first equation of motion

v = u + at

vp = 0 + 4.8 x 10^10 x 54 x 10^-9 = 2592 m/s In the same direction of electric field.

For electron:

u = 0, ae = 8.8 x 10^13 m/s^2, t = 54 x 10^-9 s

use first equation of motion

v = u + at

vp = 0 + 8.8 x 10^13 x 54 x 10^-9 = 4752000 m/s In the opposite direction of electric field.

G a magnetic field perpendicular to the plane of a wire loop is uniform in space but changes with time t in the region of the lo

Luden [163]

Answer:

e = Δφ / Δt induced emf is proportional to enclosed flux

Also φ = B * A flux is proportional to area and enclosed field

If the induced emf e increases with time than the flux and hence the magnetic field is increasing with time (replace B with G)

Since e = ΔG * A / Δt if e is linear then G must also be linear and be proportional to the time
