You set your stationary bike on a high 80-N friction-like resistive force and cycle for 30 min at a speed of 8.0 m/s . Your body

is 10% efficient at converting chemical energy in your body into mechanical work.
A.) What is your internal chemical energy change?

B.) How long must you bike to convert 3.8×105 J of chemical potential while staying at this speed? (This amount of energy equals the energy released by the body after eating three slices of bread.)

A) The change in internal chemical energy is 1.15\cdot 10^7 J

B) The time needed is 1 minute

Explanation:

First of all, we start by calculating the power output of you and the bike, given by:

P=Fv

where

F = 80 N is the force that must be applied in order to overcome friction and travel at constant speed

v = 8.0 m/s is the velocity

Substituting,

P=(80)(8.0)=640 W

The energy output is related to the power by the equation

P=\frac{E}{t}

where:

P = 640 W is the power output

E is the energy output

t = 30 min \cdot 60 = 1800 s is the time elapsed

Solving for E,

E=Pt=(640)(1800)=1.15\cdot 10^6 J

Since the body is 10% efficient at converting chemical energy into mechanical work (which is the output energy), this means that the change in internal chemical energy is given by

\Delta E = \frac{E}{0.10}=\frac{1.15\cdot 10^6}{0.10}=1.15\cdot 10^7 J

B)

From the previous part, we found that in a time of

t = 30 min

the amount of internal chemical energy converted is

E=1.15\cdot 10^7 J

Here we want to find the time t' needed to convert an amount of chemical energy of

E'=3.8\cdot 10^5 J

So we can setup the following proportion:

\frac{t}{E}=\frac{t'}{E'}

And solving for t',

t'=\frac{E't}{E}=\frac{(3.8\cdot 10^5)(30)}{1.15\cdot 10^7}=1 min

8. At what position does the mass have the greatest acceleration?
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

Option (e)

Explanation:

If a mass attached to a spring is stretched and released, it follows a simple harmonic motion.

In simple harmonic motion, velocity of the mass will be maximum, kinetic energy is maximum and acceleration is 0 at equilibrium position (at 0 position).

At position +A, mass will have the minimum kinetic energy, zero velocity and maximum acceleration.

Therefore, Option (e) will be the answer.

To practice problem-solving strategy 26.1 resistors in series and parallel. two bulbs are connected in parallel across a source
hichkok12 [17]
Emf e = 11
r 1 = 3.0
r 2 = 3.0
r 3 = ?

The two in parallel are equivalent to 3 • 3/6 = 1.5 Ω 
To have 2.4 volts across them, the current is I = 2.4/1.5 = 1.6 amps. and the unknown R = (11–2.4) / 1.6 = 5.375 Ω or 5.4 Ω

If an athlete leaps vertically at 4.0m/s, what maximum height does he reach?
joja [24]
Hello
This is a problem of accelerated motion, where the acceleration involved is the gravitational acceleration: g=-9.81~m/s^2, and where the negative sign means it points downwards, against the direction of the motion.

Therefore, we can use the following formula to solve the problem:
v_f^2 = v_i^2 + 2gS
where v_i=4~m/s is the initial vertical velocity of the athlete, v_f=0 is the vertical velocity of the athlete at the maximum height (and v_f=0~m/s at maximum height of an accelerated motion) and S is the distance covered between the initial and final moment (i.e., it is the maximum height). Re-arranging the equation, we get
S= \frac{v_f^2-v_i^2}{2g}=0.82~m
