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

As a 2.0-kg object moves from (4.4 i + 5j) m to ( 11.6 i - 2j) m, the constant resultant force
fgiga [73]

Answer: 107.8\ J

Explanation:

Given

Initial position of object is (4.4 i+5 j)

Final position of object is (11.6 i -2 j)

Force acting (4i-9j)

Work done is given by

\Rightarrow W=F\cdot dx\\\Rightarrow W=(4i-9j)\cdot (11.6i-4.4i-2j-5j)\\\Rightarrow W=(4i-9j)\cdot (7.2i-7j)\\\Rightarrow W=28.8+63\\\Rightarrow W=91.8\ J

Initial kinetic energy

K_i=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2\times 4^2\\\\K_i=16\ J

Change in kinetic energy is equal to work done by object

\Rightarrow K_f=K_i+W\\\Rightarrow K_f=16+91.8\\\Rightarrow K_f=107.8\ J

The earth has a mass of 5.98 × 10^24 kg and the moon has a mass of 7.35 × 10^22 kg. The distance from the centre of the moon to
Leokris [45]

Answer:

F = 4.48N

Explanation:

In order to calculate the net gravitational force on the rocket, you take into account the formula for the gravitational force between two objects, which is given by:

F=G\frac{m_1m_2}{r^2}         (1)

G: Cavendish's constant = 6.674*10^-11 m^3kg^-1s^-2

r: distance between the objects

You have a rocket at the middle of the distance between Earth and Moon, then, you have opposite forces on the rocket.

If you assume the origin of a system of coordinates at the rocket position, with the Moon to the left and the Earth to the right, you have:

F=G\frac{M_em}{r_1^2}-G\frac{M_mm}{r_2^2}       (2)

Me: mass of the Earth = 5.98*10^24 kg

Mm: mass of the Moon = 7.35*10^22 kg

m: mass of the rocket = 1200kg

r1: distance from the rocket to the Earth = 3.0*10^8m

r: distance between rocket and Moon = 3.84*10^8m - 3.0*10^8m = 8.4*10^7m

You replace the values of the parameters in the equation (2):

F=Gm[\frac{M_e}{r_1^2}-\frac{M_m}{r_2^2}]\\\\F=(6.674*10^{-11}m^3kg^{-1}s^{-2})(1200kg)[\frac{5.98*10^{24}kg}{(3.0*10^8m)^2}-\frac{7.35*10^{22}kg}{(8.4*10^7m)^2}]\\\\F=4.48N

The net force exerted over the rocket is 4.48N
