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

How did cyanobacteria affect early Earth’s biosphere? Select all that apply. Cyanobacteria allowed organisms that rely on oxygen
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

The correct statements would be

  • Cyanobacteria allowed organisms that rely on oxygen to evolve.
  • Cyanobacteria preceded the first photosynthetic organisms.
  • Cyanobacteria produced excess oxygen.

Cyanobacteria, also termed as blue-green algae are the prokaryotes which are able to perform photosynthesis.

They were the major contributors of oxygen in the atmosphere and thus helped the organisms that rely on oxygen to evolve.

By the process of endosymbiosis, they lead to the origin of plants. The chloroplasts present in green plants is considered as the cyanobacteria living in the plant cell. It helps in photosynthesis and in return plants cell provides shelter to it.

It is believed that the oxygen released from early cyanobacteria reacted with dissolved iron ions to form iron oxide.

What would happen to the brightness of the bulb in the following circuit as I increase the resistance of the variable resistor?
Margarita [4]
As you crank the variable resistor to higher resistance, the total current in the loop decreases.  The power dissipated by the light bulb ... the heat and brightness it produces ... depend directly on the current through it, so they decrease too.  Your circuit is a perfect incandescent light dimmer circuit.

Stunt car A and stunt car B are identical cars with the same mass of 35.9 kg. They are both traveling at 37.1 m/s. Stunt car A c
frez [133]

Answer:

<h2>Stunt car A and stunt car B are identical cars with the same mass of 35.9 kg. They are both traveling at 37.1 m/s. Stunt car A crashes into a hard concrete wall, whereas stunt car B crashes into a big soft mattress. They both come to a complete stop after the impact.Stunt Car A experiences a <u>LARGE FORCE</u> over a <u>SHORT PERIOD</u> of time. Stunt Car B experiences a <u>SMALL FORCE</u> over a <u>LONG PERIOD</u> of time. Because of the force experienced by Stunt Car A, it will sustain <u>MORE</u> damage than Stunt Car B.</h2>

Explanation:

As we know that force is given as rate of change in momentum

so it is defined as

F = \frac{dP}{dt}

so here we know that both the cars are identical and both are moving with same speed so after coming to rest both the cars have same change in momentum

while Car A will experience more force because due to collision with concrete wall the time of collision is very small as compared to Car B

So Force on Car A is more than the force on Car B
