The coefficient of performance of a residential heat pump is 1.6. Calculate the heating effect in kJ/s this heat pump will produce when it consumes 5 kW of electrical power.

8 KJ/ s

Explanation:

Heat pumps Transfer thermal energy through absorbing of heat that comes from cold region and then release to warmer area by utilizing external power.

The coefficient of performance known as COP provide the ratio of both heating and cooling that are supplied to required work.

✓QH=The rate at which heat is produced = ?

✓COP= Coefficient of performance of a residential heat pump = 1.6

✓ W(in)= power consumption= 5KW

QH=The rate at which heat is produced=[Coefficient of performance of a residential heat pump] × [power consumption]

= 1.6 × 5KW

=8 KJ/ s

the answer for apex is the lowest

air exerts forces on falling objects near earth’s surface.

explanation:

the term 'free falls' refer to object that are falling towards the earth, in a situation in which gravity is the only force acting on the object.

for an object in free fall, the acceleration is constant (g, the gravitational acceleration), and so the velocity of the object constantly increases.

for objects near earth's surface, there is always another force acting on the object: the resistance due to the air. this force is opposed to the direction of fall of the object, and it is proportional to the velocity of the object, so as the object falls down, this force increases up to a point when it balances the force of gravity, and the object continues its motion at constant velocity (called terminal velocity). since in this case gravity is not the only force acting on the object, we are not in a situation of free fall.
