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.

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:  

<h2>E) 52.5 cm</h2>

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

period T= 3 milliseconds= 0.003

velocity v= 175m/s

wave lenght λ=?

Step two:

we know that f=1/T

the expression relating period and wave lenght is

v=λ/T

λ=v*T

λ=175*0.002

λ=0.525m

to cm= 0.525*100

=52.5cm

The wavelength of the wave is E) 52.5 cm

How much heat is required to convert 0.3 kg of ice at 0°C to water at the same temperature
madreJ [45]

Answer:  

100,800 Jkg


The heat that is used to change the state of a mater is called latent heat.

In this case it is converting ice to water and it is called latent heat of fusion.

It is given by:

Heat  = mc

where m is the mass of ice and l is the specific latent heat of fusion of ice.

l = 0.336 MJ

Heat = 0.3 × 0.336 MJ

        = 0.3 × 0.336 × 10⁶

        = 100,800 Jkg
