Complete question is;
Shoveling snow can be extremely taxing since the arms have such a low efficiency in this activity. Suppose a person shoveling a sidewalk metabolizes food at the rate of 800 W. (The efficiency of a person shoveling is 3%.)
(a) What is her useful power output? (b) How long will it take her to lift 3000 kg of snow 1.20 m? (This could be the amount of heavy snow on 20 m of footpath.) (c) How much waste heat transfer in kilojoules will she generate in the process?
Answer:
A) P_out = 24 W
B) t = 1470 s
C) Q = 1140.72 KJ
Explanation:
We are given;
Input Power; P_in = 800 W
Efficiency; η = 3% = 0.03
A) Formula for efficiency is;
η = P_out/P_in
Making P_out the subject, we have;
P_out = η•P_in
P_out = 0.03 × 800
P_out = 24 W
B) We know that;
Power = work done/time taken
Thus;
P_out = mgh/t
We are given;
m = 3000 kg
h = 1.20 m
Thus, time is;
t = (3000 × 9.8 × 1.2)/24
t = 1470 s
C) amount of heat wasted is calculated from;
Q = (P_in - P_out)t
Q = (800 - 24) × 1470
Q = 1,140,720 J
Q = 1140.72 KJ
Swimmer and Divers. The Potential energy is transferred into Kinetic energy, and allows the diver to submerge into the water. The Kinetic energy then allows the diver to submerge and dive into the water. Potential energy however, is needed to allow the diver to get back out of the water after diving to get up and go and dive again, and then the Kinetic energy is transferred back to Potential energy to repeat the process.
Hope :) -Emilie Xo this is right and it helps! Xo
You should just ask the wave
Answer:
57,42 KJ
Explanation:
By a isobaric proces, the expresion for the works in the jpg adjunt. Then:
W = Pa(Vb - Va) = Pa*Vb - Pa*Va ---(1)
By the ideal gases law: PV=RTn
Then, in (1): (remember Pa = Pb)
W = R*Tb*n - R*T*an = R*n*(Tb - Ta) --- (2)
Since we have 1 Kg air: How much is this in moles?
From bibliography: 28.96 g/mol
Then, in 1 Kg (1000 g) there are:
n = 34,53 mol
Finally, in (2):
W = (8,3144 J/K.mol)*(34,53 mol)*(500K - 300K) = 51 419,9 J ≈ 57,42 KJ
