The record time for a Tour de France cyclist to ascend the 1100-mm-high Alpe d'Huez is 37.5 minmin. The rider and his bike had a

mass of 65 kg. At the average speed of the ride, the metabolic power to ride on level ground would be 700 W. To this, we must add the power to make the climb. What was his total metabolic power?

Answer:

1945.6 W

Explanation:

We are given that

Height,h=1100 m

Time,t=37.5 min= $37.5\times 60=2250 s$

1 min=60 s

Mass,m=65 kg

Power,P=700 W

We have to find the his total metabolic power.

Power,= $P'=\frac{W}{t}=\frac{mgh}{t}=\frac{65\times 9.8\times 1100}{2250}=311.4 W$

Where $g=9.8m/s^2$

Efficiency =25%

Therefore,Power,P'= $\frac{311.4}{0.25}=1245.6 W$

Total metabolic power=P+P'=700+1245.6=1945.6 W

A system of mass 13 kg undergoes a process during which there is no work, the elevation decreases by 50 m, and the velocity incr

marin [14]

Answer:

The change in kinetic energy is 4.3875 kJ

The amount of energy transferred by heat for the process is -66.98 kJ

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the system, m = 13 kg

change in height, Δh = -50 m

initial velocity, u = 15 m/s

final velocity, v = 30 m/s

change in internal energy per mass, ΔU = -5 kJ/kg

The change in kinetic energy is given by;

ΔK.E = K.E₂ - K.E₁

ΔK.E = ¹/₂mv² - ¹/₂mu²

ΔK.E = ¹/₂m(v² - u²)

ΔK.E = ¹/₂ ₓ 13 (30² - 15²)

ΔK.E = 4387.5 J

ΔK.E = 4.3875 kJ

The amount of energy transferred by heat for the process;

Q = W + ΔP.E + ΔK.E + ΔU

Where;

ΔP.E = mgΔh

ΔP.E = 13 x 9.8 x (-50)

ΔP.E = -6370 J = -6.37 kJ

W = 0

ΔU = -5kJ/kg x 13kg

ΔU = -65 kJ

Q = W + ΔP.E + ΔK.E + ΔU

Q = 0 + (-6.37) + (4.3875) + (-65)

Q = -66.98 kJ

A satellite is in a circular Earth orbit of radius r. The area A enclosed by the orbit depends on r2 because A = πr2. Determine

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

a. $T=r^{3/2}$

b. $K=\frac{1}{r}$

c. $v=\frac{1}{\sqrt{r}}$

d. $v=\sqrt{r}$

Explanation:

To make analysis about the satellite circular earth the depends or r and A

$T^2=\frac{4\pi}{GM}*r^3$

$K=\frac{GM*m}{2*r}$

a.

$T^2=r^3$

$T=r^{3/2}$

b.

$K=\frac{GM*m}{2}*\frac{1}{r}$

$K=\frac{1}{r}$

c.

$K=\frac{1}{2}*m*v^2$

$v^2=\frac{2*K}{m}=\frac{2*Gm*m}{2*m*r}$

$v=\frac{1}{\sqrt{r}}$

d.

$v=\sqrt{2*GMr}$

$v=\sqrt{r}$

Q11:A police car in hot pursuit goes speeding past you. While the siren is approaching, the frequency of the sound you hear is 5

natulia [17]

Answer:

v_s = 34.269 m / s

Explanation:

This is a Doppler effect exercise, in this case the observer is fixed and the sound source is moving.

f ’= f $\frac{v}{v \mp v_s }$

where the negative sign is used for when the source approaches the observer and the positive sign for when the source moves away from the observer

In this case when f ’= 5500 Hz approaches and when f’ = 4500 Hz moves away, let's write the two expressions together

5500 = f ( $\frac{v}{v - v_s }$ )

4500 = f ( $\frac{v}{v + vs}$ )

let's solve these two equations

$\frac{5500}{4500} = \frac{v+v_s}{v-v_s}$

1.222 (v-v_s) = v + v_s

v_s (1+ 1.22) = v (1.222 -1)

v_s = v $\frac{0.222}{2.223}$

the speed of sound in air is v = 343 m / s

v_s = 343 0.09990

v_s = 34.269 m / s
