What do refrigerators and air conditioners use to move heat?

2 answers:

They use refrigerant, which freon is a type of. For the cooling mechanism of a refrigeration machine, a compressor pushes the liquid coolant out and into the expansion evaporator. The evaporator uses the cool temperature from the coolant and uses the forced air from a fan (example for AC or fridge) and into an expansion valve that regulates its flow to the next step. It then goes to a condenser where it goes back into a fluid from gas form and back to the compressor. I left a few steps out (it's been a while).

Lana71 [14]

complete question:

An observer at the top of a 462-ft cliff measures the angle of depression from the top of the cliff to a point on the ground to be 5°. What is the distance from the base of the cliff to the point on the ground? Round to the nearest foot

Answer:

a ≈ 5281 ft

Explanation:

The observer at the top of a 462 ft cliff measures the angle of depression from the top of the cliff to a point on the ground to be 5°.

The angle of depression form the top of the cliff = 5°

The 5° is outside the triangle formed . To find the angle in the triangle we have to subtract 5° from 90°. 90° - 5° = 85° Note sum of an angle on a right angle is 90°.

using SOHCAHTOA principle we can solve for the distance from the base of the cliff to the point on the ground(a)

tan 85° = opposite / adjacent

tan 85° = a / 462

cross multiply

462 × tan 85° = a

a = 11.4300523 × 462

a = 5280.66 ft

a ≈ 5281 ft

What is the distance between a 900 kg compact car and a 1600 kg pickup truck if the gravitational force between them is about 0.

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

The distance is 0.96m

Explanation:

Given

m1= 900kg

m2= 1600kg

Force F= 0.0001nN

G=6.67430*10^-11 Nm^2/kg^2

Required

The distance r

Step two:

the formula for the force is given as

F = Gm1m2/r2

make r subject of the formula

$r= \sqrt{\frac{Gm1m2}{F} }$

Aleksandr [31]

Complete question:

Two parallel 3.0-meter long wires conduct current. The current in the top wire is 12.5 A and flows to the right. The top wire feels a repulsive force of 2.4 x 10^-4 N created by the interaction of the 12.5 A current and the magnetic field created by the bottom current (I). Find the magnitude and direction of the bottom current, if the distance between the two wires is 40cm.

Answer:

The bottom current is 12.8 A to the right.

Explanation:

Given;

length of the wires, L = 3.0 m

current in the top wire, I₁ = 12.5 A

repulsive force between the two wires, F = 2.4 x 10⁻⁴ N

distance between the two wires, r = 40 cm = 0.4 m

The repulsive force between the two wires is given by;

$F = \frac{\mu_oI_1I_2L}{2\pi r}\\\\I_{2} = \frac{2F\pi r}{\mu_oI_1L}$

Where;

I₂ is the bottom current

The direction of the bottom current must be in the same direction as the top current since the force between the two wires is repulsive.

$I_{2} = \frac{2F\pi r}{\mu_oI_1L}\\\\I_{2} = \frac{2(2.4*10^{-4})(\pi)(0.4)}{(4\pi*10^{-7})(12.5)(3)}\\\\I_{2} = 12.8 \ A$

Therefore, the bottom current is 12.8 A to the right.

A spring gun is made by compressing a spring in a tube and then latching the spring at the compressed position. A 4.97-g pellet

dimaraw [331]

Answer:

$v = 2.8898 \frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

This is a problem easily solve using energy conservation. As there are no non-conservative forces, we know that the energy is conserved.

When the spring is compressed downward, the spring has elastic potential energy. When the spring is relaxed, there is no elastic potential energy, but the pellet will have gained gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy. Lets see what are the terms for each of this.

<h3>Elastic potential energy</h3>

We know that a spring following Hooke's Law has a elastic potential energy:

$E_{ep} = \frac{1}{2} k (\Delta x)^2$
