Consider a heat pump that operates on the reversed Carnot cycle with R-134a as the working fluid executed under the saturation d
Schach [20]

Answer:

Work out = 28.27 kJ/kg

Explanation:

For R-134a, from the saturated tables at 800 kPa, we get

h_{fg} = 171.82 kJ/kg

Therefore, at saturation pressure 140 kPa, saturation temperature is

T_{L} = -18.77°C = 254.23 K

At saturation pressure  800 kPa, the saturation temperature is

T_{H} = 31.31°C = 304.31 K

Now heat rejected will be same as enthalpy during vaporization since heat is rejected from saturated vapour state to saturated liquid state.

Thus, q_{reject} = h_{fg} = 171.82 kJ/kg

We know COP of heat pump

COP = \frac{T_{H}}{T_{H}-T_{L}}

        = \frac{304.31}{304.31-254.23}

         = 6.076

Therefore, Work out put, W = \frac{q_{reject}}{COP}

                                              = 171.82 / 6.076

                                              = 28.27 kJ/kg

I am struggling on this physics question. Brainly is my last hope. Could somebody please provide an answer to this question, wit
Aleks [24]

1) 29.4 N

The force of gravity between two objects is given by:

F=G\frac{Mm}{r^2}

where

G is the gravitational constant

M and m are the masses of the two objects

r is the separation between the centres of mass of the two objects

In this problem, we have

M=5.97\cdot 10^{24} kg (mass of the Earth)

m=3.0 kg (mass of the box)

r=R=6.37\cdot 10^6 m (Earth's radius, which is also the distance between the centres of mass of the two objects, since the box is located at Earth's surface)

Substituting into the equation, we find F:

F=\frac{(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})(5.97\cdot 10^{24})(3.0)}{(6.37\cdot 10^6)^2}=29.4 N

2) g=9.8 m/s^2

Let's now calculate the ratio F/m. We have:

F = 29.4 N

m = 3.0 kg

Subsituting, we find

\frac{F}{m}=\frac{29.4}{3.0}=9.8 N/kg = 9.8 m/s^2

This is called acceleration of gravity, and it is the acceleration at which every object falls near the Earth's surface. It is indicated with the symbol g.

We can prove that this is the acceleration of the object: in fact, according to Newton's second law,

F=ma

where a is the acceleration of the object. Re-arranging,

a=\frac{F}{m}

which is exactly equal to the quantity we have calculated above.

A ray of light bends upon entering a new medium. What is this phenomenon called?
Ainat [17]
Refraction is a phenomenon which results when a ray of light enters from one medium to another medium. When a ray of light enters from denser medium to rarer medium, it bends away from the normal. The laws of refraction are: The incident ray, the refracted ray and the normal all lie in the same plane.

Bobby places a 4.75 cm tall light bulb a distance of 33.2 cm from a concave mirror. If the mirror has a focal length of 28.2, th
Fittoniya [83]
The image distance can be determined using the mirror equation: 1/f = 1/d_o + 1/d_i, where, f is the focal length, d_o is the object distance, and d_i is the image distance. Given that f = 28.2 and d_o = 33.2 cm, the value of d_i is calculated to be 187.248 cm. On the other hand, the image height is obtained using the magnification equation wherein, h_i/h_o = -d_i/d_o, where h_i is the image height and h_o is the object height. Using the given values, h_i is equal to -26.79 cm. Note that the negative sign indicates that the image is inverted.
