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:

a

 COP = 8.49

b

  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}  

=>         COP_1 =  \frac{296.2}{ 296.2 - 265 }  

=>         COP_1 = 9.49

A car travels for 5.5 h at an average speed<br> of 75 km/h. How far did it travel?<br> T TE
ANEK [815]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 412.5 \ kilometers }}

Explanation:

Distance is the product of speed and time.

d=s*t

The speed of the car is 75 kilometers per hour. It traveled for 5.5 hours.

s= 75 \ km/hr \\t= 5.5 \ hr

Substitute the values into the formula.

d= 75 \ km/hr * 5.5 \ hr

Multiply. Note that the hours will cancel each other out.

d= 75 km * 5.5 \\d= 412.5 \ km

The car travelled <u>412.5 kilometers.</u>

A spring with a spring constant value of 125 N/m is compressed 12.2 cm by pushing on it with a 215 g block. When the block is re
allsm [11]

Answer:

v = 2.94 m/s

Explanation:

When the spring is compressed, its potential energy is equal to (1/2)kx^2, where k is the spring constant and x is the distance compressed. At this point there is no kinetic energy due to there being no movement, meaning the net energy in the system is (1/2)kx^2.

Once the spring leaves the system, it will be moving at a constant velocity v, if friction is ignored. At this time, its kinetic energy will be (1/2)mv^2. It won't have any spring potential energy, making the net energy (1/2)mv^2.

Because of the conservation of energy, these two values can be set equal to each other, since energy will not be gained or lost while the spring is decompressing. That means

(1/2)kx^2 = (1/2)mv^2

kx^2 = mv^2

v^2 = (kx^2)/m

v = sqrt((kx^2)/m)

v = x * sqrt(k/m)

v = 0.122 * sqrt(125/0.215)        <--- units converted to m and kg

v = 2.94 m/s
