Can any one Explain how energy is conserved in a heat pump.

1 answer:

3 0

A heat pump draws heat from a cold object and rejects it to a hot one but it requires electrical energy to achieve this. Therefore, electrical energy is converted into heat energy or work in the pump's compressor. Therefore, energy is conserved.

Suppose you are drinking root beer from a conical paper cup. The cup has a diameter of 10 centimeters and a depth of 13 centimet

sveta [45]

Answer:

The level of the root beer is dropping at a rate of 0.08603 cm/s.

Explanation:

The volume of the cone is :

$V=\frac {1}{3}\times \pi\times r^2\times h$

Where, V is the volume of the cone

r is the radius of the cone

h is the height of the cone

The ratio of the radius and the height remains constant in overall the cone.

Thus, given that, r = d / 2 = 10 / 2 cm = 5 cm

h = 13 cm

r / h = 5 / 13

r = {5 / 13} h

$V=\frac {1}{3}\times \frac {22}{7}\times ({{{\frac {5}{13}\times h}}})^2\times h$

$V=\frac {550}{3549}\times h^3$

Also differentiating the expression of volume w.r.t. time as:

$\frac {dV}{dt}=\frac {550}{3549}\times 3\times h^2\times \frac {dh}{dt}$

Given: $\frac {dV}{dt}$ = -4 cm³/sec (negative sign to show leaving)

h = 10 cm

So,

$-4=\frac{550}{3549}\times 3\times {10}^2\times \frac {dh}{dt}$

$\frac{55000}{1183}\times \frac {dh}{dt}=-4$

$\frac {dh}{dt}=-0.08603\ cm/s$

<u>The level of the root beer is dropping at a rate of 0.08603 cm/s.</u>

1. An object (m = 500 g) with an initial speed of 0.2 m/s collides with another object (m = 1.5 kg) which was at rest before the

Anettt [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

1 )

We shall apply conservation of momentum law to solve the problem.

mv = ( M +m) V , m and M are masses of small and large object , v is the velocity of small object before collision and V is the velocity of both the objects together after collision .

.5 x .2 = (1.5 + .5)V

V = .05 m /s

2 ) We shall use formula for velocity of object after elastic collision as follows

v₁ = $\frac{(m_1-m_2)}{(m_1+m_2)} u_1+\frac{2m_2u_2}{(m_1+m_2)}$

m₁ and m₂ are masses of first and second object u₁ and u₂ are their initial velocity and v₁ and v₂ are their final velocity.

Putting the values

= $\frac{(200-1000)}{(1000+200)} \times 1 +\frac{2 \times1000\times0}{(1000+200)}$

= - .66 m /s

Since the sign is negative so it will be in opposite direction .
