- The ground temperature a few meters below the surface is fairly constant throughout the year and is near the average value of the air temperature. In areas in which the air temperature drops very low in the winter, the exterior unit of a heat pump designed for heating is sometimes buried underground in order to use the earth as a thermal reservoir. Why is it worthwhile to bury the heat exchanger, even if the underground unit costs more to purchaseand install than one above ground?arrow_forwardWhile painting the top of an antenna 225 m in height, a worker accidentally lets a 1.00 L water bottle fall from his lunchbox. The bottle lands in some bushes at ground level and does not break.
