Answer: (b)0.000012/k

Explanation:

The linear expansion of the metal rod is given by

\Delta L= L_0 \alpha \Delta T

where

\Delta L=0.090 cm is the linear expansion

L_0 = 80 cm is the initial length of the rod

\alpha is the linear expansivity

\Delta T=93.6^{\circ}C=93.6 K is the increase in temperature

By re-arranging the equation, we find the linear expansivity:

\alpha = \frac{\Delta L}{L_0 \Delta T}=\frac{0.090 cm}{(80 cm)(93.6K)}=0.000012 K^{-1}

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

Suppose astronomers find an earthlike planet that is twice the size of Earth (that is, its radius is twice the radius of Earth).
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

4 times the mass of Earth

Explanation:

M_1 = Mass of Earth

M_2 = Mass of the other planet

r = Radius of Earth

2r = Radius of the other planet

m = Mass of object

The force of gravity on an object on Earth is

F=\frac{GM_1m}{r^2}

The force of gravity on an object on the other planet is

F=\frac{GM_2m}{(2r)^2}

As the forces are equal

\frac{GM_1m}{r^2}=\frac{GM_2m}{(2r)^2}\\\Rightarrow M_1=\frac{M_2}{4}\\\Rightarrow M_2=4M_1

So, the other planet would have 4 times the mass of Earth

Calculate the amount of heat (in kj) required to raise the temperature of a 79.0 g sample of ethanol from 298.0 k to 385.0 k. th
earnstyle [38]
We are given with the specific heat capacity of ethanol, the mass of the sample and the temperature change to determine the total amount of heat to raise the temperature. The formula to be followed is H = mCpΔT. Upon subsituting, H = 79 g * 2.42 J/gC *(385-298)C = 16.63 kJ
