Answer and Explanation

An electric devise which extracts heat from a point and transfers it to another is called a heat pump. Refrigerators and air conditioners apply this technology.

A heat pump circulates the refrigerant through an evaporation  and condensation cycle to transfer the heat. A compressor then pumps the refrigerant substance between two heat exchanger coils. In one of the coil, the refrigerant undergoes evaporation at low pressure to absorb heat from the surrounding. The refrigerant then undergoes compression to follow the other coil where it undergoes condensation at high pressure. It releases the heat at this point that has been absorbed in the cycle.

A ball is droped from a height of 16m how much time will pass before the ball hits the ground​
sergey [27]

Answer:

The time is 1.8s

Explanation:

The ball droped, will freely fall under gravity.

Hence we use free fall formula to calculate the time by the ball to hit the ground

h= \frac{1}{2}g{t}^{2}

Where h is the height from which the ball is droped, g is the acceleration due to gravity that acted on the ball, and t is the time taken by the ball to hit the ground.

From the question,

h=16m

Also, let take

g = 9.8m{s}^{-2}

By substitution we obtain,

16= \frac{1}{2}\times 9.8{t}^{2}

\implies32=9.8{t}^{2}

Diving through by 9.8

\frac{32}{9.8}= \frac{ 9.8{t}^{2} }{9.8}

\implies{t}^{2} =3.265

square root both sides, we obtain

\implies t= \sqrt{3.265}

t=1.8s
