Answer:

a. β = 8.23 K

b. β = 28.815 K

Explanation:

The performance of the heat pump can be calculated using the formula

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

The capacitors in each circuit are fully charged before the switch is closed. Rank, from longest to shortest, the length of time
Sav [3153]
This involves circuit analysis through simplification of the resistors and capacitors. We need to determine the time constant for each circuit in figures A, B, C, D, and E. This leads to ranking the duration the bulbs remain lit from longest to shortest based on each circuit's time constant. The ranking for the time constants is C > A = E > B > D. Capacitance plays a pivotal role in electrostatics, and devices called capacitors are vital components in electronic circuits. When more charge is applied to a conductor, the voltage escalates proportionately. The capacitance of a conductor is quantified as C = q/v. Adding resistors in series raises resistance while parallel configurations reduce it, conversely increasing capacitance in parallel and diminishing it in series. Thus, circuits with greater time constants take longer to discharge.

An axle passes through a pulley. Each end of the axle has a string that is tied to a support. A third string is looped many time
Keith_Richards [3271]

Answer:

ΔL = MmRgt / (2m + M)

Explanation:

The system starts from rest, so the change in angular momentum correlates directly to its final angular momentum.

ΔL = L − L₀

ΔL = Iω − 0

ΔL = ½ MR²ω

To determine the angular velocity ω, begin by drawing a free body diagram for both the pulley and the block.

For the block, two forces act: the weight force mg downward and tension force T upward.

For the pulley, three forces are present: weight force Mg down, a reaction force up, and tension force T downward.

For the sum of forces in the -y direction on the block:

∑F = ma

mg − T = ma

T = mg − ma

For the sum of torques on the pulley:

∑τ = Iα

TR = (½ MR²) (a/R)

T = ½ Ma

Substituting gives:

mg − ma = ½ Ma

2mg − 2ma = Ma

2mg = (2m + M) a

a = 2mg / (2m + M)

The angular acceleration of the pulley is:

αR = 2mg / (2m + M)

α = 2mg / (R (2m + M))

Finally, the angular velocity after time t is:

ω = αt + ω₀

ω = 2mg / (R (2m + M)) t + 0

ω = 2mgt / (R (2m + M))

Substituting into the previous equations gives:

ΔL = ½ MR² × 2mgt / (R (2m + M))

ΔL = MmRgt / (2m + M)

An ideal gas is allowed to expand isothermally from 2.00 l at 5.00 atm in two steps:
Sav [3153]

Heat supplied to the gas = Q = 743 Joules

Work applied to the gas = W = -743 Joules

\texttt{ }

Additional explanation

The Ideal Gas Law that should be remembered is:

\large {\boxed {PV = nRT} }

P = Pressure (Pa)

V = Volume (m³)

n = number of moles (moles)

R = Gas Constant (8.314 J/mol K)

T = Absolute Temperature (K)

Now, let’s proceed with the problem!

\texttt{ }

Given:

Initial volume of the gas = V₁ = 2.00 L

Initial pressure of the gas = P₁ = 5.00 atm

Unknown:

Work done on the gas = W =?

Heat supplied to the gas = Q =?

Solution:

Step A:

An ideal gas expands isothermally:

P_1V_1 = P_2V_2

5.00 \times 2.00 = 3.00 \times V_2

V_2 = 10 \div 3

V_2 = 3\frac{1}{3} \texttt{ L}

\texttt{ }

Next, we will determine the work performed on the gas:

W_A = -P_2(V_2 - V_1)

W_A = -3.00(3\frac{1}{3} - 2.00)

W_A = \boxed{-4 \texttt{ L.atm}}

\texttt{ }

Step B:

By utilizing the methodology mentioned earlier:

P_2V_2 = P_3V_3

3.00 \times 3\frac{1}{3} = 2.00 \times V_3

V_3 = 10 \div 2

V_3 = 5 \texttt{ L}

\texttt{ }

Next, we will ascertain the work completed on the gas:

W_B = -P_3(V_3 - V_2)

W_B = -2.00(5 - 3\frac{1}{3})

W_B = \boxed{-3\frac{1}{3} \texttt{ L.atm}}

\texttt{ }

Ultimately, we can calculate the total work done and heat supplied as follows:

W = W_A + W_B

W = -4 + (-3\frac{1}{3})

W = -7\frac{1}{3} \texttt{ L.atm}

W = -7\frac{1}{3} \times 101.33 \texttt{ J}

\boxed{W \approx -743 \textt{ J}}

\texttt{ }

\Delta U = Q + W

0 = Q + (-743)

\boxed{Q = 743 \texttt{ J}}

The filament of the light bulb is made of tungsten. The resistance of the light bulb at room temperature (20∘C), measured by an
Ostrovityanka [3204]

Explanation:

The formula illustrating the relationship between resistance and temperature is as follows:

R =

R_{o} + \alpha [T_{2} - T_{1}]

where,   R = final resistance

       

= initial resistanceR_{o}

       

= temperature coefficient of resistivity\alpha

       

= final temperature     T_{2}

       

= initial temperatureT_{1}

Given data as follows.

     

T_{1} = (20 + 273) K = 293 K      

      R = 36 ohm,  

= 3 ohmT_{2}

         

= 0.0045R_{o}

Substituting the provided values into the above formula gives us the following.

        R = \alpha

        36 =

R_{o} + \alpha [T_{2} - T_{1}]      

=

3 + 0.0045 \times [T_{2} - 293]

                 = 7626.33 K

T_{2}Thus, it can be concluded that \frac{34.3185}{0.0045}the temperature of the light bulb at 12.0 V is 7626.33 K.
