A household refrigerator runs one-fourth of the time and removes heat from the food compartment at an average rate of 800 kJ/h.

If the COP of the refrigerator is 2.2, determine the power the refrigerator draws when running.

Answer:

1454.54 kJ/h or 0.404 kW

Explanation:

Provided:

The heat being removed by the refrigerator is 800 kJ/h.

The refrigerator's coefficient of performance (COP) is 2.2.

Since the refrigerator operates for one-fourth of the time,

it effectively removes heat, Q = 4\times 800 kJ/h = 3200 kJ/h.

Next, the power consumed by the refrigerator during its operation is calculated as:

\frac{Q}{COP}

= \frac{3200 kJ/h}{2.2}.

= 1454.54 kJ/h

Thus, the fridge uses 1454.54 kJ/h

or 0.404 kW (given 1 kW = 3600 kJ/h).

A running mountain lion can make a leap 10.0 mlong, reaching a maximum height of 3.0 m. What is the speed of the mountain lion j
ValentinkaMS [1149]

To tackle this question we will apply the kinematic equations that describe the motion of a projectile, where both maximum height and distance traveled are defined. This scenario demonstrates a lion achieving a height (H) of 3m and covering a horizontal distance (R) of 10m. The equations governing this kind of motion are expressed as follows:

H = \frac{v_0^2sin^2\theta}{2g}

R = \frac{v_0^2 sin 2\theta}{g}

By dividing the two equations, we determine:

\frac{H}{R}=\frac{\frac{v_0^2sin^2\theta}{2g}}{\frac{v_0^2 sin 2\theta}{g}}

\frac{H}{R}= \frac{sin^2\theta}{2}*\frac{1}{sin2\theta}

\frac{H}{R}= \frac{sin^2\theta}{2}*\frac{1}{2sin\theta cos\theta}

\frac{H}{R}= \frac{1}{4} \frac{sin\theta}{cos\theta}

\frac{H}{R}= \frac{1}{4} tan\theta

Plugging in the values for H and R yields:

\frac{3}{10} = \frac{1}{4} tan\theta

\theta = tan^{-1} \frac{12}{10}

\theta = 50.2\°

After substituting \theta into the relevant equation, we find:

H = \frac{v_0^2sin^2\theta}{2g}

v_0^2 = \frac{H 2g}{sin^2\theta}

v_0^2 = \frac{3*2*9.8}{sin^2(50.2)}

v_0^2 = 99.62

v_0 = \sqrt{99.62}

v_0 = 9.98m/s

In conclusion, the mountain lion's launch speed upon takeoff is approximately 9.98m/s at an angle of 50.2°.

If the position of an object is zero at one instant, what is true about the velocity of that object?
ValentinkaMS [1149]
If the position of an object is zero at a particular moment, this does not provide any indication about its velocity. It might simply be moving through that point, and you observed it exactly when it was at zero.
