The drinking water needs of an office are met by cooling tab water in a refrigerated water fountain from 23 to 6°C at an average rate of 10 kg/h. If the COP of this refrigerator is 3.1, the required power input to this refrigerator is (a) 197W
(b) 612W
(c) 64W
(d) 109W
(e) 403W

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

The correct option is;

(c) 64W

Explanation:

Here we have the Coefficient Of Performance, COP given by

COP = (Q_(cold))/(W) = 3.1

The heat change from 23° to 6°C for a mass of 10 kg/h which is equivalent to 10/(60×60) kg/s or 2.78 g/s we have

Q_(cold) = m·c·ΔT = 2.78 × 4.18 × (23 - 6) = 197.39 J

Therefore, plugging in the value for  Q_(cold) in the COP equation we get;

COP = (197.39 )/(W) = 3.1 which gives

W =  (197.39 )/(3.1) = 63.674 \ J

Since we were working with mass flow rate then the power input is the same as the work done per second and the power input to the refrigerator = 63.674 J/s ≈ 64 W.

The power input to the refrigerator is approximately 64 W.

Answer 2
Answer:

Answer:

Win = 64 W ... Option C

Explanation:

Given:-

- The water is cooled in the refrigerator with delta temperature, ΔT=(23 - 6 )

- The flow rate of the refrigerated water is flow ( m ) = 10 kg/h

- The COP of the refrigerator is  = 3.1:

Find:-

the required power input to this refrigerator is

Solution:-

- The COP - The coefficient of performance of a refrigerator is a quantity that defines the efficiency of the system. The COP is given as:

                                         

                                COP = QL / Win

Where,

             QL : The rate of heat loss

             Win : The input power required

- The rate of heat loss can be determined from first law of thermodynamics.

                               Qin - Wout = flow (m)*c*ΔT

Where,

               Qin = - QL ... Heat lost.

               c : The heat capacity of water = 4,200 J / kg°C

- There is no work being done on the system so, Wout = 0

                              -QL = flow (m)*c*ΔT

                              -QL = ( 10 / 3600 )*4200*( 6 - 23 )

                               QL = 198.33 W

- The required power input ( Qin ) would be:

                              Win = QL / COP

                               Win = 198.33 / 3.1

                                      = 63.97 W ≈ 64 W

A good baseball pitcher can throw a baseball toward home plate at 90 mi/h with a spin of 1950 rev/min. How many revolutions does the baseball make on its way to home plate? For simplicity, assume that the 60 ft path is a straight line.

Answers

The baseball will undergo 16 revolutions on its way to home plate.

Explanation:

As the parameters which are given are speed at which the baseball is thrown, (v = 90 mi/h) and the distance between the home plate and the ball thrown is 60 ft. Also the spin is said to 1950 rev/min, it indicates that the ball will undergo 1950 revolution in every single minute. So in order to determine the number of revolutions the baseball will make in its way to home plate, we have to first determine the time taken for the baseball to reach its home plate with the given speed.

As we know that speed can be obtained by the ratio of distance with time, in the present case, we know the speed and distance, then time can be obtained by ratio of distance with speed.

At first, we have to convert the speed from mi/h to ft/min

1 mi/hr = 5280/ 60 ft/min = 88 ft/min.

Then, Time = Distance/Speed = 60/(90×80)=60/7200=8.33 × 10⁻³ min

Since the ball undergoes 1950 revolutions in 1 min, then in 8.33 × 10⁻³ min, the number of revolutions will be 1950×8.33 × 10⁻³ = 16 rev

Thus, the baseball will undergo 16 revolutions on its way to home plate.

Help Please ! A fisherman casts his lure at an angle of 33 degrees above the horizontal. The lure reaches a maximum height of 2.3 m. Assuming no frictional forces, what was the initial velocity the fisherman gave the lure when he cast it? 12.34 m/s


28.45 m/s


34.91 m/s


21.29 m/s

Answers

The initial velocity is 12.34 m/s

Explanation:

The vertical component of the initial velocity determines the maximum height.

The formula to apply is : v²=u²+2as , where

v=y-component, final velocity = 0 m/s

u= y-component of the initial velocity = ?

s= distance traveled = 2.3 m

a=acceleration due to gravity = -9.81 m/s²

Using the values in the equation

v²=u²+2as

0²=u²+2×2.3×-9.81

0=u²-45.126

45.126=u²

√45.126= u

6.7175 m/s

The vertical component of velocity is given by;

velocity*sin(angle with horizontal)

velocity=6.7175 / sin 33°

=12.338 m/s

=12.34 m/s
