Answer:

1500 N

Explanation:

• Initial velocity, u = 12 m/s

• Final velocity, v = 20 m/s

• Time taken, t = 6.4 s

• Mass, m = 1200 kg

$\longrightarrow$ F = ma

a = (v – u)/t, so

$\longrightarrow$ F = 1200 × (20 – 12)/6.4

$\longrightarrow$ F = 1200 × 8/6.4

$\longrightarrow$ F = 1200 × 80/64

$\longrightarrow$ F = 1200 × 40/32

$\longrightarrow$ F = 1200 × 20/16

$\longrightarrow$ F = 300 × 20/4

$\longrightarrow$ F = 300 × 5

$\longrightarrow$ F = 1500 N (Answer)

To solve this exercise it is necessary to use the concepts related to Difference in Phase.

The Difference in phase is given by

$\Phi = \frac{2\pi \delta}{\lambda}$

Where

$\delta =$ Horizontal distance between two points

$\lambda =$ Wavelength

From our values we have,

$\lambda = 500nm = 5*10^{-6}m$

$\theta = 1\°$

The horizontal distance between this two points would be given for

$\delta = dsin\theta$

Therefore using the equation we have

$\Phi = \frac{2\pi \delta}{\lambda}$

$\Phi = \frac{2\pi(dsin\theta)}{\lambda}$

$\Phi = \frac{2\pi(5*!0^{-6}sin(1))}{500*10^{-9}}$

$\Phi= 1.096 rad \approx = 1.1 rad$

Therefore the correct answer is C.

What would be the coefficient of performance if the refrigerator (operating between the same temperatures) was instead used as a

viktelen [127]

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:

$COP = 8.49$

$COP_1 = 9.49$

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

$COP_1 = \frac{T_2}{ T_2 - T_1}$

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

=> $COP_1 = 9.49$

Which has a greater force: a semi-truck at rest or a moving bicycle?

Wittaler [7]

Although the semi truck certainly has a larger mass, it is not in motion and therefore does not have any momentum. The bicycle however has both mass and velocity and therefore has the larger momentum of the pair.
