A heat pump is used to heat a home during the winter. The heat pump extracts heat from the outside air at a temperature of -5 degrees Celsius and delivers it to the inside air at 20 degrees Celsius. The heat pump operates with a coefficient of performance (COP) of 3.5. Calculate the amount of heat extracted from the outside air per second. (In kW)

Which of the following waves is an example of a longitudinal wave?

Programmed cell death (apoptosis) occurs _______

A heat pump is used to heat a home during the winter. The heat pump extracts heat from the outside air at a temperature of -5 degrees Celsius and delivers it to the inside air at 20 degrees Celsius. The heat pump operates with a coefficient of performance (COP) of 3.5. If the heat pump is upgraded to a COP of 4.0 while delivering the same amount of heat energy, calculate the new electrical power required. (In kW)
