A 55-kg mountain climber, starting from rest, climbs a vertical distance of 701 m. At the top, she is again at rest. In the proc

ess, her body generates 4.5 × 106 J of energy via metabolic processes. In fact, her body acts like a heat engine, the efficiency of which is given by Equation 15.11 as e = |W|/|QH|, where |W| is the magnitude of the work she does and |QH| is the magnitude of the input heat. Find her efficiency as a heat engine.

Answer:

7.75%

Explanation:

mass of climber, m = 55 kg

height, h = 701 m

Qc = 4.5 x 10^6 J (heat exhaused by the body)

Work = m x g x h

W = 55 x 9.8 x 701

W = 377839 J

W = QH - Qc

Where, QH is the heat input

QH = 377839 + 4.5 x 10^6

QH = 4877839 J

So, the efficiency

e = W / QH

e = 377839 / 4877839

e = 0.0774 = 7.75 %

Thus, the efficiency of the body is 7.75 %.

explain in detail how you would test a gingerbread biscuit solution for the presence of starch, sugar, and protein
mixas84 [53]
To test a food for starch, you can add a few droplets of iodine to it, if the liquid changes to a blue/black color then starch is present. To test for sugar you can use Benedict's solution, which will also have a color change from blue to yellow/red/orange. Add Biuret Reagent solution to test for protein, the solution will turn a pink or purple color... Note that this may not improve the taste or color of your gingerbread biscuit though :)

A 120 N force, directed at an angle θ above a horizontal floor, is applied to a 28.0 kg chair sitting on the floor. If θ = 0°, w
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Given:-

- The applied force Fa = 120 N

- The angle made with Fa and horizontal =  θ

- The mass of chair m = 28.0 kg

Find:-

a) θ = 0 ,  the horizontal component Fh of the applied force and (b) the magnitude FN of the normal force of the floor on the chair?

If θ = 34.0°, what are (c)Fh and (d)FN?

If θ = 65.0°, what are (e)Fh and (f)FN?

Now assume that the coefficient of static friction between chair and floor is 0.410. What is the maximum force of static friction on the chair if θ is (g) 0°, (h)34.0°, and (i)65.0°?

Solution:-

- We will consider the applied force (Fa) and develop a general expression for Fh as function of θ. Using Trigonometry we have:

                                     Fh = Fa*cos ( θ )

- The normal contact force (N) can be expressed similarly by applying equilibrium conditions on the chair in vertical direction.

                                    N - mg - Fa*sin(θ) = 0

                                    N = m*g + Fa*sin(θ)  

For, θ = 0:

                                    Fh = Fa*cos(0) = Fa

                                    Fh = 120 N

                                    N = (28*9.81) + 120*0

                                    N = 274.68 N

For, θ = 34.0:

                                    Fh = Fa*cos(34) = (120)*(0.82903)

                                    Fh = 99.5 N

                                    N = (28*9.81) + 120*sin(34)

                                    N = 341.8 N

For, θ = 65.0:

                                    Fh = Fa*cos(65) = (120)*(0.42261)

                                    Fh = 50.7 N

                                    N = (28*9.81) + 120*sin(65)

                                    N = 383.4 N

- The maximum frictional force (Ff) is given by the following expression:

                                   Ff = N*us

Where,                        us = coefficient of static friction = 0.41

For, θ = 0:

                                   Ff = (274.68)*(0.41)

                                   Ff = 112.62 N

For, θ = 34:

                                   Ff = (341.8)*(0.41)

                                   Ff = 140.13 N

For, θ = 65:

                                   Ff = (383.4)*(0.41)

                                   Ff = 157.2 N

An object of mass m = 4.0 kg, starting from rest, slides down an inclined plane of length l = 3.0 m. The plane is inclined by an
kirill [66]

Answer:

(a-1) d₂=4.89 m: The object slides 4.89 m along the rough surface

(a-2) Work (Wf) done by the friction force while the mass is sliding down the in- clined plane:

Wf=  -20.4 J    is negative

(b) Work (Wg) done by the gravitational force while the mass is sliding down the inclined plane:

Wg= 58.8 J is positive

Explanation:

Nomenclature

vf: final velocity

v₀ :initial velocity

a: acceleleration

d: distance

Ff: Friction force

W: weight

m:mass

g: acceleration due to gravity

Graphic attached

The attached graph describes the variables related to the kinetics of the object (forces and accelerations)

Calculation de of the components of W in the inclined plane

W=m*g

Wx₁ = m*g*sin30°

Wy₁=  m*g*cos30°

Object kinematics on the inclined plane

vf₁²=v₀₁²+2*a₁*d₁

v₀₁=0

vf₁²=2*a₁*d₁

v_{f1} = \sqrt{2*a_{1}*d_{1}  }  Equation (1)

Object kinetics on the inclined plane (μ= 0.2)

∑Fx₁=ma₁  :Newton's second law

-Ff₁+Wx₁ = ma₁   , Ff₁=μN₁

-μ₁N₁+Wx₁ = ma₁      Equation (2)

∑Fy₁=0   : Newton's first law

N₁-Wy₁= 0

N₁- m*g*cos30°=0

N₁  =  m*g*cos30°

We replace   N₁  =  m*g*cos30 and  Wx₁ = m*g*sin30° in the equation (2)

-μ₁m*g*cos30₁+m*g*sin30° = ma₁   :  We divide by m

-μ₁*g*cos30°+g*sin30° = a₁  

g*(-μ₁*cos30°+sin30°) = a₁  

a₁ =9.8(-0.2*cos30°+sin30°)=3.2 m/s²

We replace a₁ =3.2 m/s² and d₁= 3m in the equation (1)

v_{f1} = \sqrt{2*3.2*3}  }

v_{f1} =\sqrt{2*3.2*3}

v_{f1} = 4.38 m/s

Rough surface  kinematics

vf₂²=v₀₂²+2*a₂*d₂   v₀₂=vf₁=4.38 m/s

0   =4.38²+2*a₂*d₂  Equation (3)

Rough surface  kinetics (μ= 0.3)

∑Fx₂=ma₂  :Newton's second law

-Ff₂=ma₂

--μ₂*N₂ = ma₂   Equation (4)

∑Fy₂= 0  :Newton's first law

N₂-W=0

N₂=W=m*g

We replace N₂=m*g inthe equation (4)

--μ₂*m*g = ma₂   We divide by m

--μ₂*g = a₂

a₂ =-0.2*9.8= -1.96m/s²

We replace a₂ = -1.96m/s² in the equation (3)

0   =4.38²+2*-1.96*d₂

3.92*d₂ = 4.38²

d₂=4.38²/3.92

d₂=4.38²/3.92

(a-1) d₂=4.89 m: The object slides 4.89 m along the rough surface

(a-2) Work (Wf) done by the friction force while the mass is sliding down the in- clined plane:

Wf = - Ff₁*d₁

Ff₁= μ₁N₁= μ₁*m*g*cos30°= -0.2*4*9.8*cos30° = 6,79 N

Wf= -  6.79*3 = 20.4 N*m

Wf=  -20.4 J    is negative

(b) Work (Wg) done by the gravitational force while the mass is sliding down the inclined plane

Wg=W₁x*d= m*g*sin30*3=4*9.8*0.5*3= 58.8 N*m

Wg= 58.8 J is positive

In an engine, a piston oscillates with simple harmonic motion so that its position varies according to the following expression,
eduard

(a) 4.06 cm

In a simple harmonic motion, the displacement is written as

x(t) = A cos (\omega t + \phi) (1)

where

A is the amplitude

\omega is the angular frequency

\phi is the phase

t is the time

The displacement of the piston in the problem is given by

x(t) = (5.00 cm) cos (5t+\frac{\pi}{5}) (2)

By putting t=0 in the formula, we find the position of the piston at t=0:

x(0) = (5.00 cm) cos (0+\frac{\pi}{5})=4.06 cm

(b) -14.69 cm/s

In a simple harmonic motion, the velocity is equal to the derivative of the displacement. Therefore:

v(t) = x'(t) = -\omega A sin (\omega t + \phi) (3)

Differentiating eq.(2), we find

v(t) = x'(t) = -(5 rad/s)(5.00 cm) sin (5t+\frac{\pi}{5})=-(25.0 cm/s) sin (5t+\frac{\pi}{5})

And substituting t=0, we find the velocity at time t=0:

v(0)=-(25.00 cm/s) sin (0+\frac{\pi}{5})=-14.69 cm/s

(c) -101.13 cm/s^2

In a simple harmonic motion, the acceleration is equal to the derivative of the velocity. Therefore:

a(t) = v'(t) = -\omega^2 A cos (\omega t + \phi)

Differentiating eq.(3), we find

a(t) = v'(t) = -(5 rad/s)(25.00 cm/s) cos (5t+\frac{\pi}{5})=-(125.0 cm/s^2) cos (5t+\frac{\pi}{5})

And substituting t=0, we find the acceleration at time t=0:

a(0)=-(125.00 cm/s) cos (0+\frac{\pi}{5})=-101.13 cm/s^2

(d) 5.00 cm, 1.26 s

By comparing eq.(1) and (2), we notice immediately that the amplitude is

A = 5.00 cm

For the period, we have to start from the relationship between angular frequency and period T:

\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}

Using \omega = 5.0 rad/s and solving for T, we find

T=\frac{2\pi}{5 rad/s}=1.26 s
