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

During nuclear fission and fusion, matter that seems to disappear is actually converted into
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

Energy (I need one more brainlist can i has?)

Explanation:

- Nuclear fusion occurs when two light nuclei fuse together into a heavier nucleus

- Nuclear fission occurs when a heavy, unstable nucleus breaks apart into two or more lighter nuclei

In both processes, the mass of the products is always smaller than the mass of the initial nuclei. This means that part of the initial mass has been converted into something else: into energy, which is released in the process.

The amount of energy released in the process can be calculated by using the famous Einstein's equivalence:

where m is the difference between the mass of the product and the initial mass of the nuclei, and c is the speed of light.

. A huge pile of leaves was wrapped in a tarp in the middle of a lawn. The wrapped leaves weigh 580 newtons. The coefficient of
Rina8888 [55]

The force required is 319 N

Explanation:

The force of static friction is a force that acts an object on a surface, when this object is pushed by another force to put it in motion. The direction of the force of friction is opposite to the direction of the force of push, and its value increases as the force of push increases, up to a maximum value given by:

F_f = \mu W

where

\mu is the coefficient of friction

W is the weight of the object

Therefore, in order to put the object in motion, the force applied must be greater than this value.

For the pile of leaves in this problem, we have:

\mu = 0.55 (coefficient of friction)

W=580 N (weight of the leaves)

Substituting, we find:

F=(0.55)(580)=319 N

How many protons, electrons, and neutrons are present in an atom of cr-24?
mote1985 [20]

The number of protons, electrons, and neutrons in the atom of cr-24 is 28, 24, and 24 respectively.

<h3>What is atom?</h3>

An atom is the smallest unit of matter, consisting of the positively charged nucleus and the electrons which move around it. The atom can not be divided further.

The atom of a matter is made by three elements-

  • 1) Neutron-Neutron is the element of an atom, which has zero charge.
  • 2) Proton-Proton is the element of an atom, which has a positive charge.
  • 3) Electron-Electron is the element of an atom, which has a negative charge.

The atom of cr-24 has the atomic number 24. The atomic number of atom is equal to the number of proton and electron in an atom. Thus,

\rm Proton=24\\\rm Electron=24

Now, if this atom has the mass number of 52 (most common). Then the number of neutron is,

\rm Neutrons=Mass\; Number-Atomic\; Number\\\rm Neutrons=52-24\\\rm Neutrons=28

Thus, the number of protons, electrons, and neutrons in the atom of cr-24 is 28, 24, and 24 respectively.
