The water in a deep underground well is used as the cold resevoir of a Carnot heat pump that maintains the temperature of a hous

e at 308 K. To deposit 13900 J of heat in the house, the heat pump requires 900 J of work. Determine the temperature of the well water.

Answer:

The temperature of well water be 288.07 K

Explanation:

We have given Heat in house $Q_H=13900J$

Work done W = 900 J

Efficiency is given by $\eta =\frac{W}{Q_H}=\frac{900}{13900}=0.0647$

Efficiency is also given by $\eta =1-\frac{T_L}{T_H}$ , here $T_L$ is lower temperature and $T_H$ is higher temperature

So $0.0647=1-\frac{T_L}{T_H}$

$0.0647=1-\frac{T_L}{308}$

$T_L=288.07K$

So the temperature of well water be 288.07 K

A bowling ball that has a radius of 11.0 cm and a mass of 5.00 kg rolls without slipping on a level lane at 2.80 rad/s.

NemiM [27]

Answer:

$\dfrac{K_t}{K_r}=\dfrac{5}{2}$

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the bowling ball, m = 5 kg

Radius of the ball, r = 11 cm = 0.11 m

Angular velocity with which the ball rolls, $\omega=2.8\ rad/s$

To find,

The ratio of the translational kinetic energy to the rotational kinetic energy of the bowling ball.

Solution,

The translational kinetic energy of the ball is :

$K_t=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

$K_t=\dfrac{1}{2}m(r\omega)^2$

$K_t=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 5\times (0.11\times 2.8)^2$

The rotational kinetic energy of the ball is :

$K_r=\dfrac{1}{2}I \omega^2$

$K_r=\dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{2}{5}mr^2\times \omega^2$

$K_r=\dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{2}{5}\times 5\times (0.11)^2\times (2.8)^2$

Ratio of translational to the rotational kinetic energy as :

$\dfrac{K_t}{K_r}=\dfrac{5}{2}$

So, the ratio of the translational kinetic energy to the rotational kinetic energy of the bowling ball is 5:2

What is the relation between the direction of electric field and equipotential line at the same point

gavmur [86]

Answer:

The direction of electric field and equipotential line at the same point are always PERPENDICULAR TO THE ELECTRIC FIELD.

Explanation:

Equipotential surface is a three dimensional part of equipotential lines.

Equipotential lines are a type of contour lines that is use to trace lines that have the same altitude on the map and the altitude is the electric potential.

Equipotential lines are always perpendicular to electric potential because the lines creates three dimension equipotential surface.

Three moles of an ideal gas with a molar heat capacity at constant volume of 4.9 cal/(mol∙K) and a molar heat capacity at consta

Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

The heat flows into the gas during this two-step process is 120 cal.

Explanation:

Given that,

Number of moles = 3

Heat capacity at constant volume = 4.9 cal/mol.K

Heat capacity at constant pressure = 6.9 cal/mol.K

Initial temperature = 300 K

Final temperature = 320 K

We need to calculate the heat flow in to gas at constant pressure

Using formula of heat

$\Delta H_{1}=nC_{p}\times\Delta T$

Put the value into the formula

$\Delta H_{1}=3\times6.9\times(320-300)$

$\Delta H_{1}=414\ cal$

We need to calculate the heat flow in to gas at constant volume

Using formula of heat

$\Delta H_{1}=nC_{v}\times\Delta T$

Put the value into the formula

$\Delta H_{1}=3\times4.9\times(300-320)$

$\Delta H_{1}=-294\ cal$

We need to calculate the heat flows into the gas during two steps

Using formula of total heat

$\Delta H_{T}=\Delta H_{1}+\Delta H_{2}$

$\Delta H_{T}=414-294$

$\Delta H_{T}=120\ cal$

Hence, The heat flows into the gas during this two-step process is 120 cal.
