A heat pump is a device used to heat something, in this case water. Heat pump takes heat from colder object and transfers it to warmer object. This is opposite to <span>direction of spontaneous heat transfer which from warmer to colder object.
In this problem a room got colder while water got warmer. This is due to work done by heat pump. This is what is described in correct answer c).
a) is not correct because it shows </span>direction of spontaneous heat transfer. It also says that <span>Aleksei’s family purchased a new water heater and in description givne in a) it would mean that water got colder.
b) is not correct because if the </span><span>burning fuel increased the thermal energy in the air it would mean that this room got warmer than rest of house.
d) is not correct because burning fuel does not absorb </span><span>thermal energy. It releases it.</span>
To solve this problem we will apply the concept related to the heat transferred to a body to reach a certain temperature. This concept is shaped by the energy ratio of a body which is the product of the mass, its specific heat and the change in temperature. For the specific case, it will be the sum of the heat transferred to the Water, the Aluminum and the loss due to latency due to vaporization in the water. That is to say,

Here,
= Mass of Aluminum
= Specific Heat of Aluminum
= Specific Heat of Water
Mass of water
Latent of Vaporization

Therefore is required 440.409kCal
Answer:
Increasing until terminal velocity is reached
Explanation:
Provided the scream is a constant pitch at the source, Doppler effect will make the pitch increase as the velocity of the source towards the listener increases.
