A heat pump is a device used to heat something, in this case water. Heat pump takes heat from colder object and transfers it to warmer object. This is opposite to <span>direction of spontaneous heat transfer which from warmer to colder object.
In this problem a room got colder while water got warmer. This is due to work done by heat pump. This is what is described in correct answer c).
a) is not correct because it shows </span>direction of spontaneous heat transfer. It also says that <span>Aleksei’s family purchased a new water heater and in description givne in a) it would mean that water got colder.
b) is not correct because if the </span><span>burning fuel increased the thermal energy in the air it would mean that this room got warmer than rest of house.
d) is not correct because burning fuel does not absorb </span><span>thermal energy. It releases it.</span>
Answer:
Q = C M T where C is the specific, M the mass, T the temperature change
Note 1 cal = 4.19 Joules
1562.75 J / (4.19 J/cal) = 378 cal
C = Q / (M * T) = 378 cal / (25.35 g * 155 deg C)
C = .096 cal / g deg C
The answer is 60 km. I hope it helps i dont know if this is right or wrong.
Hey! How's it going? If you need anything, feel free to send me a friend request and message me.
Don't worry if things get wrong, they will surely get better, if not, I'm here to talk to you. :)
I believe that if you touch a metal sphere with a plastic straw, the straw would not have enough strength to push it. So in that case, the metal sphere will not move and will stay in one place.
