An inventor develops a stationary cycling device by which an individual, while pedaling, can convert all of the energy expended

into heat for warming water.
How much mechanical energy is required to increase the temperature of 300 g of water (enough for 1 cup of coffee) from 20°C to 95°C?
(1 cal = 4.186 J, the specific heat of water is 4 186 J/kg⋅°C)
a. 94 000 J
b. 22 000 J
c. 5 400 J
d. 14 J

Answer:

Q=94185\ J

Explanation:

Given:

  • mass of water, m=0.3\ kg
  • initial temperature of water, T_i=20^{\circ}C
  • final temperature of water, T_f=95^{\circ}C
  • specific heat of water, c=4186\ J.kg^{-1}.K^{-1}

<u>Now the amount of heat energy required:</u>

Q=m.c.\Delta T

Q=0.3\times 4186\times (95-20)

Q=94185\ J

Since all of the mechanical energy is being converted into heat, therefore the same amount of mechanical energy is required.

A car with a mass of 2000 kg is moving around a circular curve at a uniform velocity of 25 m/s per second. The curve has a radiu
IrinaK [193]
The centripetal force is:
 F = mv² / R
 Where:
 m: mass of the object
 v: object speed
 R: radius of the curve.
 We have to:
 m = 2000kg
 v = 25 m / s
 R = 80 meters.
 Then the centripetal force acting on the vehicle is:
 F = (2000kg * (25m / s) ²) / 80m
 F = 15625 N

11. A cyclist accelerates from 0 m/s to 10 m/s in 3 seconds. What is his acceleration ? Is this acceleration higher than that of
Marat540 [252]

a =  \frac{v - u}{t}

v = final velocity

u = initial velocity

t = time taken

the acceleration of the cyclist is

\frac{10 - 0}{3}  = 3.333333....

approximately 3.33 m/s^2

the acceleration of the car is

\frac{40 - 0 }{8}  = 5.0

5.0 m/s^2

5.0 > 3.33 \\ so \:  the \: answer  \: is \: no
