A house that was heated by electric resistance heaters consumed 1200 kWh of electric energy in a winter month. If this house wer

e heated instead by a heat pump that has an average COP of 2.4, determine how much money the homeowner would have saved that month. Assume a price of $0.12/kWh for electricity.

Answer:

$84

Explanation:

The coefficient of performance (COP) show the relationship between the power (kW) output of the heat pump and the power (kW) input to the compressor.

The heater consumed by the heater is 1200 kWh.

For a heat pump with a COP of 2.4, the electric input needed to produce an output of 1200 kWh is:

Electric input to heat pump = 1200 / 2.4 = 500 kWh

That means that supplying a heat pump with 500 kWh produces an output of 1200 kWh

The amount of power saved = power consumed by heater - power consumed by heat pump = 1200 - 500 = 700 kWh

Money saved = $0.12/kWh * 700 kWh = $84

Pls help me… I missed the whole lesson and I have no clue what to do-
galben [10]

Answer:

1) 50 facing towards the right

2) 150 facing right

3) 200 facing right

4) 0- no direction

5) 50- facing left

6) 50 facing right

Explanation:

forces in opposite directions and equal magnitudes counteract each other. in number 2 they face the same direction so they would just be added. in number 4 they oppose each other so would be subtracted

3. A large crane lifts a 25,000 kg mass in the air. The amount of work that must be done by the
andreev551 [17]

\mathfrak{\huge{\orange{\underline{\underline{AnSwEr:-}}}}}

Actually Welcome to the concept of Efficiency.

Here we can see that, the Input work is given as 2.2 x 10^7 J and the efficiency is given as 22%

The efficiency is => 22% => 22/100.

so we get as,

E = W(output) /W(input)

hence, W(output) = E x W(input)

so we get as,

W(output) = (22/100) x 2.2 x 10^7

=> W(output) = 0.22 x 2.2 x 10^7 => 0.484 x 10^7

hence, W(output) = 4.84 x 10^6 J

The useful work done on the mass is 4.84 x 10^6 J

a skinny girl devours food that is equivalent to 600 kcal, as she is anorexic she repents and wants to lose twice as many calori
blondinia [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Work done in lifting the weight once = mgh

= 20 x 9.8 x (1.9+1.7)

= 705.6 J  

= 705.6 / 4.2 calorie

= 168 cals

Total energy to be spent = 600 x 10³ cals

No of times weight is required to be lifted

= 600 x 10³ / 168

= 3.57  x 10³ times

Total time to be taken = 2 x 3.57 x 10³

= 7.14 x 10³ s

=119 minutes .
