Will a pair of parallel current-carrying wires exert forces on each other? 1. yes; the wires are electrically charged. 2. no; the magnetic field generated by the currents of the wires does not affect the wires themselves. 3. yes; the magnetic field generated by the current in one wire is perpendicular to the current in the other wire and vise versa. 4. no; the two wires attract each other by

Acommercial refrigerator with refrigerant-134a as the working fluid is used to keep the refrigerated space at -35°c by rejecting waste heat to cooling water that enters the condenser at 18°c at a rate of 0.25 kg/s and leaves at 26°c. the refrigerant enters the condenser at 1.2 mpa and 50°c. if the compressor consumes 3.3 kw of power, determine (a) the mass flow rate of the refrigerant, (b) the refrigeration load, (c) the cop, and (d) the minimum power input to the compressor for the same refrigeration load.

Acommon technique in analysis of scientific data is normalization. the purpose of normalizing data is to eliminate irrelevant constants that can obscure the salient features of the data. the goal of this experiment is to test the hypothesis that the flux of light decreases as the square of the distance from the source. in this case, the absolute value of the voltage measured by the photometer is irrelevant; only the relative value conveys useful information. suppose that in part 2.2.2 of the experiment, students obtain a signal value of 162 mv at a distance of 4 cm and a value of 86 mv at a distance of 5.7 cm. normalize the students' data to the value obtained at 4 cm. (divide the signal value by 162.) then calculate the theoretically expected (normalized) value at 5.7 cm.

1. do the particles in the medium material move in the same direction of the wave or at opposite direction to the wave? explain your answer. 2. by inputting more energy into the wave, i.e a large shake of the spring, which wave property also increases? 3. are there forces of friction acting while a wave is passing through a medium?
