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.

Answer:

Angle of refraction

Explanation:

The incident ray is the ray before it reaches the surface.

The refracted ray is the ray after it reaches the surface.

n₁ is called the index of incidence.

n₂ is called the index of refraction.

θ₁ is called the angle of incidence.

θ₂ is called the angle of refraction.

They are related by Snell's law:

n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂

A glass ball of radius 3.74 cm sits at the bottom of a container of milk that has a density of 1.04 g/cm3. The normal force on t
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

The mass of the ball is 0.23 kg

Explanation:

Given that

radius ,r= 3.74 cm

Density of the milk ,ρ = 1.04 g/cm³ = 1.04  x 10⁻³ kg/cm³

Normal force ,N= 9.03 x 10⁻² N

The volume of the ball V

V=\dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3

V=\dfrac{4}{3}\times \pi \times 3.74^3\ cm^3

V= 219.13 cm³

The bouncy force on the ball = Fb

Fb = ρ V g

Fb  + N = m g

m=Mass of the ball = Density x volume

m = γ V    , γ =Density of the Ball

ρ V g  + N =  γ V g               ( take g= 10 m/s²)

\gamma =\dfrac{N+\rho V g}{V g}

\gamma =\dfrac{9.03\times 10^{-2}+1.04\times 10^{-3}\times 219.13\times  10}{219.13\times 10}

γ = 0.00108 kg/cm³

m = γ V

m = 0.00108 x 219.13

m= 0.23 kg

The mass of the ball is 0.23 kg

Consider the following True/False statements:
Ainat [17]

Answer:

6) False

7) True

8) False

9) False

10) False

11) True

12) True

13) True

14) True

Explanation:

The spacing between two energy levels in an atom shows the energy difference between them. Clearly, B has a greater value of ∆E compared to A. This implies that the wavelength emitted by B is greater than A while B will emit fewer, more energetic photons.

When atoms jump from lower to higher energy levels, photons are absorbed. The kinetic energy of the incident photon determines the frequency, wavelength and colour of light emitted by the atom.

The energy level to which an atom is excited is determined by the kinetic energy of the incident electron. As the voltage increases, the kinetic energy of the electron increases, the further the atom is from the source of free electrons, the greater the required kinetic energy of free electron. When electrons are excited to higher energy levels, they must return to ground state.
