A heat pump is used to heat a building. The external temperature is lower than the internal temperature. The pump's coefficient

of performance is 3.70, and the heat pump delivers 7.27 MJ as heat to the building each hour. If the heat pump is a Carnot engine working in reverse, at what rate must work be done to run it

Answer:

Heat pump needs 1.965 megajoules each hour to run.

Explanation:

The Coefficient of Performance (COP), no unit, of a Carnot's heat pump is:

COP = \frac{Q_{H}}{W} (1)

Where:

Q_{H} - Heat received by the building, measured in megajoules.

W - Work needed to run the heat pump, measured in megajoules.

If heat pump is a Carnot engine working in reverse, then the amount of work needed to run the heat pump is the least possible work. If we know that Q_{H} = 7.27\,MJ and COP = 3.70, then the amount needed by the heat pump each hour is:

W = \frac{Q_{H}}{COP}

W = \frac{7.27\,MJ}{3.70}

W = 1.965\,MJ

Heat pump needs 1.965 megajoules each hour to run.

A girl throws a pebble into a deep well at 4.0 m/s (downward). It hits the water in 2.0 s. How far below the ground is the water
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

  • 27.6 m
  • 13.8 m/s

Explanation:

(b) The initial velocity is added to that due to acceleration by gravity. The velocity is increased linearly by gravity at the rate of 9.8 m/s². The average velocity of the pebble will be its velocity halfway through the 2-second time period.* That is, it will be ...

  4 m/s + (9.8 m/s²)(2 s)/2 = 13.8 m/s . . . . average velocity

__

(a) The distance covered in 2 seconds at an average velocity of 13.8 m/s is ...

  d = vt

  d = (13.8 m/s)(2 s) = 27.6 m

The water is about 27.6 m below ground.

_____

* We have chosen to make use of the fact that the velocity curve is linear, so the average velocity is half the sum of initial and final velocities:

  vAvg = (vInit + vFinal)/2 = (vInit + (vInit +at))/2 = vInit +at/2

__

If you work this in a straightforward way, you would find distance as the integral of velocity, then find average velocity from the distance and time.

  \displaystyle d=\int_0^t{(v_0+at)}\,dt=v_0t+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2=t\left(v_0+a\dfrac{t}{2}\right)\\\\v_{avg}=\dfrac{d}{t}=v_0+a\dfrac{t}{2}\qquad\text{the formula we started with}

*URGENT* Why is understanding motion so important? Be sure to explain in your own words.
levacccp [35]

Answer:

Motion is one of the important issues of Physics. We know that if we are not moving but still earth is moving. Motion is a bit of the machinist's Department of Physics. Several laws are provided for explaining the theory of motion and evolution in motion. The motion and transformation are defined in terms of strength which is wanted for creating an object in a motion state.

What will happen when two neutral objects are rubbed together?
Neko [114]

Answer:

I hope this will help you

Explanation:

When two neutral objects come into contact--especially in a dry environment--electrons can be knocked loose from one object and picked up by the other. The object that gains electrons becomes negatively charged, while the object that loses electrons becomes positively charged. Objects with like charges repel each other, while those with opposite charges attract each other. This phenomenon--in which objects acquire an electric charge and exert a force on one another--is what we call static electricity.
