Given:

Amount of heat produced = 100 kcal per hour

Let's find the rate of energy production in joules.

We know that:

1 calorie = 4.184 Joules

1 kcal = 4.184 Joules

To find the rate of energy production in Joules, we have:

$\begin{gathered} Rate=100\ast4.184 \\ \\ \text{Rate}=418.4\text{ KJ/hour} \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the rate of energy production in joules is 418.4 kJ/h which is equivalent to 418400 Joules

ANSWER:

418.4 kJ/h

Zielflug [23.3K]

The answer is Rarefactions.

These are the parts of a wave that are further apart and the ones that are close together are called compressions.

A bicycle has wheels of radius 0.320 m. Each wheel has a rotational inertia of 0.0800 kg⋅m2 about its axle. The total mass of th

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

$\frac{K_{rot}} {K_T} = 0.019$

Explanation:

We know that Rotational Kinetic Energy is given by,

$K_{rot}=\frac{1}{2}Iw^2$

Where I is the inertia and w the angular velocity. We know as well that $w= \frac{v}{r}$

The we can replace,

$K_{rot} = \frac{1}{2}I(\frac{v}{r})^2$

$K_{rot} = \frac{1}{2}I(\frac{v^2}{r^2})$

That equation are perfect for the 4 wheel, however we need a similar expresion for the ycycle

$K_{tran} = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

The total energy can be expressed as follow,

$K_T = K_{rot}+K{tran}$

$K_T=2(\frac{1}{2}I\frac{v^2}{r^2})+\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

Whit this expression is easy to find te ratio of rotational kinetic energy, we need to make the relation between $K_{rot} \Rightarrow K_T$

$\frac{K_{rot}} {K_T} = \frac{2I}{2I+mr^2}$ (You only need to put the previous values and simplify)

Substituting $I=0.08kg.m^2, m=79kg and r=0.32m$

We have

$\frac{K_{rot}} {K_T} = \frac{2I}{2I+mr^2} \\\frac{K_{rot}} {K_T} = \frac{2(0.08)}{2(0.08)+(79)(32)}$

$\frac{K_{rot}} {K_T} = 0.019$
