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 6 m long, uniform ladder leans against a frictionless wall and makes an angle of 74.3 ◦ with the floor. The ladder has a mass
olganol [36]

Answer: µ=0.205

Explanation:

The horizontal forces acting on the ladder are the friction(f) at the floor and the normal force (Fw) at the wall. For horizontal equilibrium,

f=Fw

The sum of the moments about the base of the ladder Is 0

ΣM = 0 = Fw*L*sin74.3º - (25.8kg*(L/2) + 67.08kg*0.82L)*cos74.3º*9.8m/s²

Note that it doesn't matter WHAT the length of the ladder is -- it cancels.

Solve this for Fw.

0= 0.9637FwL - (67.91L)2.652

Fw=180.1/0.9637

Fw=186.87N

f=186.81N

Since Fw=f

We know Fw, so we know f.

But f = µ*Fn

where Fn is the normal force at the floor --

Fn = (25.8 + 67.08)kg * 9.8m/s² =

910.22N

so

µ = f / Fn

186.81/910.22

µ= 0.205

A transformer is intended to decrease the value of the alternating current from 500 amperes to 25 amperes. The primary coil cont
EastWind [94]

Answer:

The number of turns in secondary coil is 4000

Explanation:

Given:

Current in primary coil I_{P} = 500 A

Current in secondary coil I_{S} = 25 A

Number of turns in primary coil N_{P} = 200

In case of transformer the relation between current and number of turns is given by,

     \frac{N_{S} }{N_{P}  } = \frac{I_{P} }{I_{S} }

For finding number of turns in secondary coil,

     N_{S} = \frac{I_{P} }{I_{S} }  N_{P}

     N_{S} = \frac{500}{25} \times 200

     N_{S} = 4000

Therefore, the number of turns in secondary coil is 4000

A worker assigned to the restoration of the Washington Monument is checking the condition of the stone at the very top of the mo
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

Your answer is: K.E = 8.3 J

Explanation:

If the height (h) = 169.2 meters (m) and the mass (m) is 0.005 kilograms (kg) the total energy will be kinetic energy which is equal to the potential energy.

K.E = P.E and also P.E equals to mgh

Then you substitute all the parameters into the formula  ↓

P.E = 0.005 × 9.81 × 169.2

P.E = 8.2908 J

So your answer is 8.2908 but if you round it is K.E = 8.3

Explain why atoms only emit certain wavelengths of light when they are excited. Check all that apply. Check all that apply. Elec
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Electrons are allowed "in between" quantized energy levels, and, thus, only specific lines are observed. <em>FALSE. </em>The specific lines are obseved because of the energy level transition of an electron in an specific level to another level of energy.

The energies of atoms are not quantized. <em>FALSE. </em>The energies of the atoms are in specific levels.

When an electron moves from one energy level to another during absorption, a specific wavelength of light (with specific energy) is emitted. <em>FALSE. </em>During absorption, a specific wavelength of light is absorbed, not emmited.

Electrons are not allowed "in between" quantized energy levels, and, thus, only specific lines are observed. <em>TRUE. </em>Again, you can observe just the transition due the change of energy of an electron in the quantized energy level

When an electron moves from one energy level to another during emission, a specific wavelength of light (with specific energy) is emitted. <em>TRUE. </em>The electron decreases its energy releasing a specific wavelength of light.

The energies of atoms are quantized. <em>TRUE. </em>In fact, the energy of all subatomic, atomic, and molecular particles is quantized.
