Answer: 31.6ft

Explanation:

Check the attachment for the diagram.

According to the right angle triangle AEC, we will use Pythagoras theorem to get |AC|. Note that |AE| = |AB| - |CD|

that is 20ft - 10ft = 10ft

According to the theorem, the square of the sum of the adjacent side and the opposite side is equal to the square of the hypotenuse.

|AE|^2 + |EC|^2 = |AC|^2

10^2 + 30^2 = |AC|^2

100 + 900 = |AC|^2

|AC| = √1000

|AC| = 31.6ft

Therefore, the wire should be anchored 31.6ft to the ground to minimize the amount of wire needed.

The coefficient of performance of a residential heat pump is 1.6. Calculate the heating effect in kJ/s this heat pump will produ
grin007 [14]

Answer:

8 KJ/ s

Explanation:

Heat pumps Transfer thermal energy through absorbing of heat that comes from cold region and then release to warmer area by utilizing external power.

The coefficient of performance known as COP provide the ratio of both heating and cooling that are supplied to required work.

✓QH=The rate at which heat is produced = ?

✓COP= Coefficient of performance of a residential heat pump = 1.6

✓ W(in)= power consumption= 5KW

QH=The rate at which heat is produced=[Coefficient of performance of a residential heat pump] × [power consumption]

= 1.6 × 5KW

=8 KJ/ s

How does charging by conduction work?
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

During charging by conduction, both objects acquire the same type of charge. If a negative object is used to charge a neutral object, then both objects become charged negatively. ... In this case, electrons are transferred from the neutral object to the positively charged rod and the sphere becomes charged positively.
