<span>The change in internal energy is only gravitional PE because the tube is being drug up at a constant speed. Since it is at a constant speed, the change in KE is 0. Change in PE = m*g*h = 78 kg * 10 m/s^2 * 30 m = 23400 J Work done on the system is from the force Work = force * distance = 350 N * 120 m = 42000 J So, work added 42000 J to the system, but the rider's energy only increased 23400 J. Therefore, friction took up the difference. Friction is where the thermal energy comes from Q = 42000 J - 23400 J = 18600 J. Therfore, friction generated 18600 J of heat to the surroundings.</span>

A 57 kg person in a rollercoaster moving through the bottom of a curved track of radius 42.7 m feels a normal force of 995 N. Ho
natita [175]

Answer:

Use Fc centripetal force as positive and W the weight as negative

N = m v^2 / R + m g

v^2 = (N - m g) R / m

v^2 = (995 - 57 * 9.8) 42.7 / 57 = 327 m^2/s^2

v = 18.1 m/s

Note: N - m g is the net force producing the centripetal force

Compute the power output (watts) during one minute of treadmill exercise, given the following: Treadmill grade-10% Horizontal sp
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

c. 981 watts

P=981\ W

Explanation:

Given:

  • horizontal speed of treadmill, v=100\ m.min^{-1}=\frac{5}{3} \ m.s^{-1}
  • weight carried, w=588.6\ N
  • grade of the treadmill, G\%=10\%

<u>Now the power can be given by:</u>

P=v.w

P=588.6\times\frac{5}{3} (where grade is the rise of the front edge per 100 m of the horizontal length)

P=981\ W

How is energy harnessed to do useful work?
baherus [9]

Answer:

But there are ways to harness kinetic energy to either generate useful mechanical work or electricity. This is what many have tried to do to make use of energy that would be otherwise wasted. One way to harness kinetic energy that has popped up many times in recent years has to do with roads and speed bumps
