A space shuttle can carry 23 tons of cargo into space. If a shuttle is launched with 22 tons of cargo instead of 23, how does the shuttle's motion change?

A. The shuttle’s acceleration increases because it has less mass.
B. The shuttle’s acceleration decreases because it has less mass.
C. The shuttle has less force moving it because it has less mass.
D. The shuttle has more force moving it because it has less mass.

Power can be defined as a. the distance over which work was done. b. how much work can be done in a given time. c. all the work in an given area. d. the energy required to do work.

An internally reversible refrigerator has a modified coefficient of performance accounting for realistic heat transfer processes of where qin is the refrigerator cooling rate, qout is the heat rejection rate, and is the power input. show that copm can be expressed in terms of the reservoir temperatures tc and th, the cold and hot thermal resistances rt, c and rt, h, and qin, as where rtot rt, c rt, h. also, show that the power input may be expressed as 1.39 a household refrigerator operates with cold- and hot-temperature reservoirs of tc 5 c and th 25 c, respectively. when new, the cold and hot side resistances are rc, n 0.05 k/w and rh, n 0.04 k/w, respectively. over time, dust accumulates on the refrigerator’s condenser coil, which is located behind the refrigerator, increasing the hot side resistance to rh, d 0.1 k/w. it is desired to have a refrigerator cooling rate of qin 750 w. using the results of problem 1.38, determine the modified coefficient of performance and the required power input w under (a) clean and (b) dusty coil conditions. internally reversible refrigerator qout qin w high-temperature reservoir low-temperature reservoir th th, i tc, i tc high-temperature side resistance low-temperature side resistance w qin th tc qinrtot tc qinrtot copm tc qinrtot th tc
