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

By what potential difference must a proton [m_0 = 1.67E-27 kg) be accelerated to have a wavelength lambda = 4.23E-12 m? By what
Vinil7 [7]

Explanation:

1. Mass of the proton, m_p=1.67\times 10^{-27}\ kg

Wavelength, \lambda_p=4.23\times 10^{-12}\ m

We need to find the potential difference. The relationship between potential difference and wavelength is given by :

\lambda=\dfrac{h}{\sqrt{2m_pq_pV}}

V=\dfrac{h^2}{2q_pm_p\lambda^2}

V=\dfrac{(6.62\times 10^{-34})^2}{2\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 1.67\times 10^{-27}\times (4.23\times 10^{-12})^2}

V = 45.83 volts

2. Mass of the electron, m_p=9.1\times 10^{-31}\ kg

Wavelength, \lambda_p=4.23\times 10^{-12}\ m

We need to find the potential difference. The relationship between potential difference and wavelength is given by :

\lambda=\dfrac{h}{\sqrt{2m_eq_eV}}

V=\dfrac{h^2}{2q_em_e\lambda^2}

V=\dfrac{(6.62\times 10^{-34})^2}{2\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 9.1\times 10^{-31}\times (4.23\times 10^{-12})^2}

V=6.92\times 10^{34}\ V

V = 84109.27 volt

Hence, this is the required solution.

What is the equation of instantaneous velocity<br>​
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

it's possible to calculate an object's velocity at any moment along its path. This is called instantaneous velocity and it is defined by the equation v = (ds)/(dt),in other words, the derivative of the object's average velocity equation.
