How is constant velocity indicated on an acceleration-time graph?

2 answers:

A motion described as a constant, positive velocity results in a line of zero slope (a horizontal line has zero slope) when plotted as a velocity-time graph.

"Constant velocity" means that there is no acceleration. Acceleration = 0 .

So its graph is zero at every time. The line on the graph lies on the X-axis.

What would be the coefficient of performance if the refrigerator (operating between the same temperatures) was instead used as a

viktelen [127]

Complete Question

A certain refrigerator, operating between temperatures of -8.00°C and +23.2°C, can be approximated as a Carnot refrigerator.

What is the refrigerator's coefficient of performance? COP

(b) What If? What would be the coefficient of performance if the refrigerator (operating between the same temperatures) was instead used as a heat pump? COP

Answer:

$COP = 8.49$

$COP_1 = 9.49$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The lower operation temperature of refrigerator is $T_1 = -8.00^oC = 265 \ K$

The upper operation temperature of the refrigerator is $T_2 = 23.2 ^oC = 296.2 \ K$

Generally the refrigerators coefficient of performance is mathematically represented as

$COP = \frac{T_1}{T_2 - T_1 }$

=> $COP = \frac{265}{296.2 - 265 }$

=> $COP = 8.49$

Generally if a refrigerator (operating between the same temperatures) was instead used as a heat pump , the coefficient of performance is mathematically represented as

$COP_1 = \frac{T_2}{ T_2 - T_1}$
