<span>A free body diagram is a representation of how the forces that are acting on a point or particle interact. You place your point at the origin and then draw your forces.

Answer:

The purpose of a free body diagram is to make a visual representation of all the forces acting on an object.

In a free-body diagram, the object is represented at the centre; every force acting on the object is represented as an arrow, starting from the centre of the object, and with a length proportional to the magnitude of the force and direction equal to the direction of the corresponding force.

s person is deciding whether to install solar panels on her house. lt and explain three pieces of info she needs to consider to

Marrrta [24]

Efficiency- How much energy is wasted and how much useful energy is produced
Money- How expensive to install them
Location- She has to consider the location where she places them so that there is enough sunlight and light energy for the solar panels, obviously she should have solar panels if the location receives a sufficient amount of sunlight

Consider a heat pump that operates on the reversed Carnot cycle with R-134a as the working fluid executed under the saturation d

Schach [20]

Answer:

Work out = 28.27 kJ/kg

Explanation:

For R-134a, from the saturated tables at 800 kPa, we get

$h_{fg}$ = 171.82 kJ/kg

Therefore, at saturation pressure 140 kPa, saturation temperature is

$T_{L}$ = -18.77°C = 254.23 K

At saturation pressure 800 kPa, the saturation temperature is

$T_{H}$ = 31.31°C = 304.31 K

Now heat rejected will be same as enthalpy during vaporization since heat is rejected from saturated vapour state to saturated liquid state.

Thus, $q_{reject}$ = $h_{fg}$ = 171.82 kJ/kg

We know COP of heat pump

COP = $\frac{T_{H}}{T_{H}-T_{L}}$

= $\frac{304.31}{304.31-254.23}$

= 6.076

Therefore, Work out put, W = $\frac{q_{reject}}{COP}$

= 171.82 / 6.076

= 28.27 kJ/kg

If a 80kg diver jumps off of a 5 m high dive into a regulation diving pool, how much should the temperature of the pool go up?

Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

The answer cannot be determined.

Explanation:

The energy of the diver when he hits the pool will be equal to its potential energy $mgh$ , and for the temperature of the pool to rise up, this energy has to be converted into the heat energy of the pool.

The change in temperature ${\Delta}T$ then will be

${\Delta}T=\frac{{\Delta}Q}{mc} .$

Where m is the mass of water in the pool, c is the specific heat capacity of water, and ${\Delta}Q$ is the added heat which in this case is the energy of the diver.

Since we do not know the mass of the water in the pool, we cannot make this calculation.

Compare how magnetic forces act through non-magnetic materials and<br>magnetic materials:

gavmur [86]

<h2>Compare how magnetic forces act through non-magnetic materials and </h2><h2>magnetic materials:</h2>

Explanation:

Magnet

• Magnet :- is an object which attracts pieces of iron, steel etc towards itself.

Some facts about magnets:-

• When magnet is freely suspended it always align towards north-south direction

• Like poles always repel & opp. poles attract each other.

• Magnet always exist as dipole

• Two poles can never be separated : if we try to cut it then still both the poles will exist even ina small piece of magnet .it automatically develops the lost polarity

Magnet always develop certain area around it where its effect can be felt ie. magnetic field.

MAGNETIC Field

is studied by drawing imaginary lines called magnetic lines of forces.

Characteristics.

• They always originate from North pole & terminate at South pole. This shows that if north pole was free is move it would have mvre towards south pole.

•Place where they are closer indicate strong M. field i.e. at poles.

•Mag. Field lines gives the direction of magnetic force.

•Two magnetic lines will never intersect each other as they give direction of force & force can’t have 2 direction at a time.

M Field lines are closed continuous curves.

This is what that happens in magnetic materials .

Non magnetic materials

Magnetic forces 'act through' non-magnetic materials
These magnetic materials can be used as a shield around a magnet.
The domain theory of magnetism tries to explain why metals get magnetised
. The magnetic elements have little molecular magnets inside them.
Magnets attract only the magnetic materials

Types of magnetic materials

Soft magnetic materials (e.g. iron) have domains that easily move into line when the metal is placed in a magnetic field but as soon as the field is removed the domains take on a random pattern again. It returns to being unmagnetized straight away.

Hard magnetic materials (e.g. steel) have domains that do not easily move into line when the metal is placed in a magnetic field, a strong field is needed for some time, but then, when the field is removed the domains retain the magnetic pattern. The metal stays magnetic for a long time.
