Answer:

a. β = 8.23 K

b. β = 28.815 K

Explanation:

Heat pump can be find using the equation

β = TH / TH - TC

a.

TH = 15 ° C + 273.15 K = 288.15 K

TC = - 20 ° C + 273.15 K = 253.15 K

β = 288.15 K / 288.15 k - ( 253.15 K )

β = 8.23 K

b.

TH = 15 ° C + 273.15 K = 288.15 K

TC = 5 ° C + 273.15 K = 278.15 K

β = 288.15 K / 288.15 k - ( 278.15 K )

β = 28.815 K

Which of the following statements describe the steps you need to take to delete a file?
Doss [256]
In order to delete a file, it is required to first select the file which you want to delete and then select 'delete' from the file menu. It will then ask you to confirm the deletion which will be required in order to complete the file deletion process.

It isn't required to click on the X at the top right of the screen or to open the file you want to delete as these steps aren't relevant to the deletion process.

Hence, the statements which describe the steps you need to take in order to delete a file are as follows:

- Confirm the deletion.
- Select Delete from the File menu.
- Select the file you want to delete.

.A box falls to the ground from a delivery truck traveling at 30 m/s. After hitting the road, it slides 45 m to
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

t = 3 seconds

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial speed, u = 30 m/s

Final speed, v = 0

It slides 45 m to rest.it take the box to come to rest

We need to find how long it take the box to come to rest.

Let a be the acceleration and t is time.

v^2-u^2=2ad\\\\a=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2d}\\\\a=\dfrac{(30)^2-u^2}{2(45)}\\\\=10\ m/s^2

Now finding time.

t=\dfrac{v-u}{a}\\\\t=\dfrac{30-0}{10}\\\\t=3\ s

So, the required time is 3 seconds.

A positively charged metal sphere, A, is held close to but not touching and identical uncharged sphere, sphere B. Sphere A is no
Yuri [45]

Answer:

The sphere C carries no net charge.

Explanation:

  • When brougth close to the charged sphere A, as charges can move freely in  a conductor, a charge equal and opposite to the one on the sphere A, appears on the sphere B surface facing to the sphere A.
  • As sphere B must remain neutral (due to the principle of conservation of charge) an equal charge, but of opposite sign, goes to the surface also, on the opposite part of the sphere.
  • If sphere A is removed, a charge movement happens in the sphere B, in such a way, that no net charge remains on the surface.
  • If in such state, if  the sphere B (assumed again uncharged completely, without any local charges on the surface), is touched by an initially uncharged sphere C, due to the conservation of  charge principle, no net  charge can be built on sphere C.
