Why does a heat pump need an external source of energy (such as electrical energy) ?

Physics
1 answer:
erastovalidia [21]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The reason is because a heat pump uses external power to accomplish the work of transferring energy from the heat source to the heat sink. Heat pumps are significantly more energy efficient than simple electrical resistance heaters. The efficiency begins to decrease as the temperature difference between the heat source and sink increases.

A motorcycle running on gasoline wastes a large amount of energy mainly as A) heat energy and sound energy. B) light energy and
vlada-n [284]

A motorcycle mainly wastes energy as heat <u>energy</u> and <u>sound</u> energy. In the engine, chemical energy is transformed into mechanical energy. However, the engine is inefficient and much of the chemical energy is lost as heat energy. Also, some of the energy is transformed to sound energy. This explains why the motorcycle is noisy and has an exhaust pipe.

natulia [17]

Answer:

Level 4 to level 2

Explanation:

Electrons in an atom are contained in specific energy levels (1, 2, 3, and so on) having different distances from the nucleus. When light is emitted by electrons from one energy level to a lower level, level 4 to level 2 has the greatest energy.

Hence, the correct option is "Level 4 to level 2".
