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

A parallel beam of light in air makes an angle of 43.5 ∘ with the surface of a glass plate having a refractive index of 1.68. Yo
aniked [119]

Answer:

a) 46.5º  b) 64.4º

Explanation:

To solve this problem we will use the laws of geometric optics

a) For this part we will use the law of reflection that states that the reflected and incident angle are equal

     θ = 43.5º

This angle measured from the surface is

     θ_r = 90 -43.5

     θ_s = 46.5º

b) In this part the law of refraction must be used

     n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂. Sin θ₂

     sin θ₂ = n₁ / n₂ sin θ₁

The index of air refraction is n₁ = 1

The angle is this equation is measured between the vertical line called normal, if the angles are measured with respect to the surface

     θ_s = 90 - θ

     θ_s = 90- 43.5

     θ_s = 46.5º

     sin θ₂ = 1 / 1.68  sin 46.5

     sin θ₂ = 0.4318

     θ₂ = 25.6º

The angle with respect to the surface is

     θ₂_s = 90 - 25.6

     θ₂_s = 64.4º

The earth's radius is 6.37×106m; it rotates once every 24 hours.What is the speed of a point on the earth's surface located at 3
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

v = 120 m/s

Explanation:

We are given;

earth's radius; r = 6.37 × 10^(6) m

Angular speed; ω = 2π/(24 × 3600) = 7.27 × 10^(-5) rad/s

Now, we want to find the speed of a point on the earth's surface located at 3/4 of the length of the arc between the equator and the pole, measured from equator.

The angle will be;

θ = ¾ × 90

θ = 67.5

¾ is multiplied by 90° because the angular distance from the pole is 90 degrees.

The speed of a point on the earth's surface located at 3/4 of the length of the arc between the equator and the pole, measured from equator will be:

v = r(cos θ) × ω

v = 6.37 × 10^(6) × cos 67.5 × 7.27 × 10^(-5)

v = 117.22 m/s

Approximation to 2 sig. figures gives;

v = 120 m/s

Which will most likely be a consequence as fossil fuel reserves are depleted?
bazaltina [42]
It honestly depends. Fossil fuels are non-renewable so if reserves are depleting there is a threat of them running out and/or more pollution.
