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 block of a plastic material floats in water with 42.9% of its volume under water. What is the density of the block in kg/m3?
adell [148]

To solve this problem we will apply the principle of buoyancy of Archimedes and the relationship given between density, mass and volume.

By balancing forces, the force of the weight must be counteracted by the buoyancy force, therefore

\sum F = 0

F_b -W = 0

F_b = W

F_b = mg

Here,

m = mass

g =Gravitational energy

The buoyancy force corresponds to that exerted by water, while the mass given there is that of the object, therefore

\rho_w V_{displaced} g = mg

Remember the expression for which you can determine the relationship between mass, volume and density, in which

\rho = \frac{m}{V} \rightarrow m = V\rho

In this case the density would be that of the object, replacing

\rho_w V_{displaced} g = V\rho g

Since the displaced volume of water is 0.429 we will have to

\rho_w (0.429V) = V \rho

0.429\rho_w= \rho

The density of water under normal conditions is 1000kg / m ^ 3, so

0.429(1000) = \rho

\rho = 429kg/m^3

The density of the object is 429kg / m ^ 3

An electric furnace is to melt 40 kg of aluminium/hour. The initial temperature of aluminium is 32°C. Given that aluminium has s
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

Part a)

P = 13.93 kW

Part b)

R = 8357.6 Cents

Explanation:

Part A)

heat required to melt the aluminium is given by

Q = ms\Delta T + mL

here we have

Q = 40(950)(680 - 32) + 40(450 \times 10^3)

Q = 24624 kJ + 18000 kJ

Q = 42624 kJ

Since this is the amount of aluminium per hour

so power required to melt is given by

P = \frac{Q}{t}

P = \frac{42624}{3600} kW

P = 11.84 kW

Since the efficiency is 85% so actual power required will be

P = \frac{11.84}{0.85} = 13.93 kW

Part B)

Total energy consumed by the furnace for 30 hours

Energy = power \times time

Energy = 13.93 kW\times 30 h

Energy = 417.9 kWh

now the total cost of energy consumption is given as

R = P \times 20 \frac{Cents}{kWh}

R = 417.9 kWh\times  20 \frac{cents}{kWh}

R = 8357.6 Cents

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

the stars which are red in color are cool.

Explanation:

The stars which has reddish color are cool in nature while those stars which has white and blue in color are very hot in nature. The stars change its color when they becomes hotter , first the star color reddish when they are cool but with increasing temperature it changes the color from reddish to orange then yellow. After yellow it turns green and finally get blue color when the stars are very very hot.
