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

Listening to the radio, you can hear two stations at once. Describe this wave interaction
Sedaia [141]
Actually says Pantazis, since their frequencies are so wildly different, brain waves don’t interfere with radio waves. Even if that was the case, brain waves are so weak, they are hardly measurable at all. For comparison, says Pantazis, “the magnetic field of the earth is just strong enough to move the needle of a compass. Signals from the brain are a billionth of that strength.”

How would the terminal velocity of a piece of tissue paper compare to the terminal velocity of a rock?
matrenka [14]

Answer: Rock require larger drag force and to achieve it rock need to move at a very high terminal velocity.  

Explanation: Terminal velocity is defined as the final velocity attained by an object falling under the gravity. At this moment weight is balanced by the air resistance or drag force and body falls with zero acceleration i.e. with a constant velocity.

Case 1: Terminal velocity of a piece of tissue paper.

The weight of tissue paper is very less and it experiences an air resistance while falling downward under the effect of gravity.

Downward gravitational force, F = mg

Upward air resistance or friction or drag force will be f_{1}

So, paper will attain terminal velocity when mg =  f_{1}

Case 2: Rock is very heavy and require larger air resistance to balance the weight of rock relative to the tissue paper case.

Downward force on rock, F = Mg

Drag force = f_{2}

Rock will attain terminal velocity when Mg = f_{2}

Mg > mg

so, f_{2} > f_{1}

And rock require larger drag force and to achieve it rock need to move at a very high terminal velocity.

A man wishes to pull a crate 15m across a rough floor by exerting a force of 100 N. The
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

option (E) is correct.

Explanation:

Work done is defined as the product of force and the distance in the direction of force.

force, f = 100 N

Coefficient of friction, = 0.25

distance = 15 m

So, net force F = f - friction force

F = 100 - 0.25 x m g

Work = (100 - 0.25 mg) x d cosθ

For minimum work, the angle should be maximum.

So, the value of θ is 76°.

thus, option (E) is correct.

A teacher asks her students to jump off of the ground. Once the students complete the task, she says, "All of you just made Eart
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

Explained below

Explanation:

A) Newton's first law of motion states that an object will remain at rest or continue in its current state of motion except it is acted upon by another force.

Now using this law, when you jump off the ground, the earth will move a tiny bit and accelerate due to the force applied by the jumping.

B) Newton's 2nd law states that the acceleration of a system is directly proportional to the net external force acting on that system, is in the same direction with it and also inversely proportional to the mass.

In this case, when one jumps, an external force is exerted on the earth and we are told it is directly proportional to the acceleration of the system which in this case it's the earth, then it means that there is some motion by the earth even though you didn't see it move.

C) Newton's third law of motion states that to every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

In this case the motion of the jumper will lead to an equal and opposite reaction of the earth.
