Answer:

v = 3.00 x 10⁸ m/s

Explanation:

given,

speed of light in vacuum = 299,792,458 m/s

speed of light in scientific notation to three significant figures

v = 2.99792458  x  10⁸ m/s

by rounding off the speed to three significant figure.

v = 3.00 x 10⁸ m/s

On the fourth place the value is greater than 5 so, on the third place 1 will be added.

now, the speed with three significant figure comes out to be

v = 3.00 x 10⁸ m/s

Six new refrigerator prototypes are tested in the laboratory. For each refrigerator, the electrical power P needed for it to ope
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

performance coefficient from largest to the smallest

P= 500 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 2000 J/s

P= 250 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 1000 J/s

P= 750 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 1500 J/s

) P= 400 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 1200 J/s

P= 500 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 1500 J/s

P= 1000 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 3000 J/s.

the rate at which they raise the temperature of the room.

2.1.P= 1000 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 3000 J/s

P= 500 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 2000 J/s

P= 750 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 1500 J/s

P= 500 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 1500 J/s

P= 400 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 1200 J/s

P= 250 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 1000 J/s

Explanation:

A refrigerator is a device that uses work to remove heat energy from a cold reservoir and deposit it into a hot reservoir. .A good refrigerator (with a large performance coefficient) will remove a large amount of heat energy from the cold reservoir for a small amount of work input

The performance coefficient  of a refrigerator is defined as the ratio of the heat energy removed from the cold reservoir  to the work  input to the refrigerator:

k=QC/W

power is defined as work per unit time

1.k=1500/750=2

2. 1200/400=3

3.2000/500=4

4.1000/250=4

5.1500/500=3

6.3000/1000=3

performance coefficient from largest to the smallest

P= 500 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 2000 J/s

P= 250 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 1000 J/s

P= 750 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 1500 J/s

) P= 400 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 1200 J/s

P= 500 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 1500 J/s

P= 1000 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 3000 J/s

2, Rate at which they raise the temperature of the room.

rate at which temperature rises in the inner chamber of the refrigerator is proportional to the rate of energy used to dispel heat from the refrigerator

1.P= 1000 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 3000 J/s

P= 500 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 2000 J/s

P= 750 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 1500 J/s

P= 500 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 1500 J/s

P= 400 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 1200 J/s

P= 250 W, Qc,max/deltaT= 1000 J/s
