Answer:

a. β = 8.23 K

b. β = 28.815 K

Explanation:

Heat pump can be find using the equation

β = TH / TH - TC

a.

TH = 15 ° C + 273.15 K = 288.15 K

TC = - 20 ° C + 273.15 K = 253.15 K

β = 288.15 K / 288.15 k - ( 253.15 K )

β = 8.23 K

b.

TH = 15 ° C + 273.15 K = 288.15 K

TC = 5 ° C + 273.15 K = 278.15 K

β = 288.15 K / 288.15 k - ( 278.15 K )

β = 28.815 K

schepotkina [342]

Answer:

V = 42187 m/s = 42.18 km/s

Explanation:

given data:

mass of sun is  = 2\times 10^{30} kg

radius of earth orbit is 1.5\times 10^{11} m

minimum speed can be determined by using following formula

V = (\frac{2gM}{r}))^{1/2}

where G is \times 10^{-11}

Plugging all value to get desired value

V  =(\frac{2\times 6.674 \times 10^{-11}2\times 10^{30}}{1.5\times 10^{11}})^{1/2}

V = 42187 m/s = 42.18 km/s

Assume you are driving 20 mph on a straight road. Also, assume that at a speed of 20 miles per hour, it takes 100 feet to stop.
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:900  feet

Explanation:

Given

Velocity \left ( V_1\right )=20 mph\approx 29.334 ft/s

it take 100 feet to stop

Using Equation of motion

v^2-u^2=2as

where

v,u=Final and initial velocity

a=acceleration

s=distance moved

0-\left ( 29.334\right )^2=2\left (-a\right )\left ( 100\right )

a=\frac{29.334^2}{2\times 100}=4.302 ft/s^2

When velocity is 60 mph\approx 88.002 ft/s

v^2-u^2=2as

0-\left ( 88.002\right )^2=2\left ( -4.302\right )\left ( s\right )

s=900.08 feet

grandymaker [24]

Answer- the correct option for the question would be choice number c which tells us about the natural selection process of human species.

Explanation- Evolution of psychology was studied under the given heads namely Behaviorism cognitive functionalism sociocultural Psychodynamic and structuralism.  

On studying the facts under these prospects the evolution of psychology gives us the idea of the selection by nature of individuals and the pattern of their behavior shown in different aspects.

nydimaria [60]

Answer:

w = √ 1 / CL

This does not violate energy conservation because the voltage of the power source is equal to the voltage drop in the resistence

Explanation:

This problem refers to electrical circuits, the circuits where this phenomenon occurs are series RLC circuits, where the resistor, the capacitor and the inductance are placed in series.

In these circuits the impedance is

             X = √ (R² +  (X_{C} -X_{L})² )

where Xc and XL is the capacitive and inductive impedance, respectively

            X_{C} = 1 / wC

           X_{L} = wL

From this expression we can see that for the resonance frequency

           X_{C} = X_{L}

the impedance of the circuit is minimal, therefore the current and voltage are maximum and an increase in signal intensity is observed.

This does not violate energy conservation because the voltage of the power source is equal to the voltage drop in the resistence

               V = IR

Since the contribution of the two other components is canceled, this occurs for

                X_{C} = X_{L}

                1 / wC = w L

                w = √ 1 / CL

A person weighing 0.70 kn rides in an elevator that has an upward acceleration of 1.5 m/s2. what is the magnitude of the normal
creativ13 [48]
First of all, we can find the mass of the person, since we know his weight W:
W=mg=0.70 kN=700 N
And so
m= \frac{W}{g}= \frac{700 N}{9.81 m/s^2}=71.4 kg

We know for Newton's second law that the resultant of the forces acting on the person must be equal to the product between the mass and the acceleration a of the person itself:
\sum F =  ma
There are only two forces acting on the person: his weight W (downward) and the vincular reaction Rv of the floor against the body (upward). So we can rewrite the previous equation as
R_v -W = ma
We know the acceleration of the system, a=1.5 m/s^2 (upward, so with same sign of Rv), so we can solve to find the value of Rv, the normal force exerted by the elevator's floor on the person:
R_v = ma+W=(71.4 kg)(1.5 m/s^2)+700 N =807N
