When you skid to a stop on your bike, you can significantly heat the small patch of tire that rubs against the road surface. Sup

pose a person skids to a stop by hitting the brake on his back tire, which supports half the 90 kg combined mass of the bike and rider, leaving a skid mark that is 48 cm long. Assume a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.80. How much thermal energy is deposited in the tire and the road surface?

Answer:

E = 169.34 J

Explanation:

First, we need to find the frictional force between the back tire and the road. For that purpose, we use the following formula:

f = μR = μW

f = μmg

where,

f = frictional force = ?

μ = coefficient of friction between tire and road = 0.8

g = 9.8 m/s²

m = mass supported by back tire = (0.5)(90 kg) = 45 kg

Therefore,

f = (0.8)(45 kg)(9.8 m/s²)

f = 352.8 N

Now, for the heat energy we use the formula of work. Because, thermal energy will be equal to work done by frictional force:

E = W = fd

where,

E = Thermal Energy = ?

f = frictional force = 352.8 N

d = displacement = 48 cm = 0.48 m

Therefore,

E = (352.8 N)(0.48 m)

<u>E = 169.34 J</u>

If the speed of an object is doubled, what happens to its kinetic energy?
asambeis [7]

Answer:

Kinetic energy is energy of motion. Doubling the speed will quadruple the kinetic energy. The relationship between speed and kinetic energy is: This means that the factor by which kinetic energy increases is the square of the factor by which speed or velocity increases for a given object.

What is the process that changes smaller atoms into larger ones in a star
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

Nuclear fusion

Explanation:

In fusion, many nuclei (the centers of atoms) combine together to make a larger one (which is a different element). ... A star's mass determines what other type of nucleosynthesis occurs in its core (or during explosive changes in its life cycle).

An electron is ejected from the cathode by a photon with an energy slightly greater than the work function of the cathode. How w
Ksivusya [100]

It will be approximately equal.

<h3>How will the final kinetic energy change?</h3>

We can infer that all of the energy in the electron is Potential energy (PE) because the energy provided by the photon is hardly enough to outweigh the work function.

It will gain kinetic energy (KE) as it advances in the direction of the anode because it is moving through an electric field. All of the PE will have been transformed to KE by the time it reaches the anode.

According to the question

K = hf - W

W = Work function

The energy of photons is comparable. After conversion, there was only a little amount of KE remaining.

Therefore, PE (W) essentially equals KE (K).

It will about be equal.

In one of the classic nuclear physics experiments at the beginning of the 20th century, an alpha particle was accelerated toward
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

= 4.3 × 10 ⁻¹⁴ m

Explanation:

The alpha particle will be deflected when its kinetic energy is equal to the potential energy

Charge of the alpha particle q₁= 2 × 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C = 3.2 × 10⁻¹⁹ C

Charge of the gold nucleus q₂= 79 × 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ = 1.264 × 10⁻¹⁷C

Kinetic energy of  the alpha particle = 5.28 × 10⁶ × 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ J ( 1 eV)

=  8.459 × 10⁻¹³

k electrostatic force constant = 9 × 10⁹ N.m²/c²

Kinetic energy = potential energy =   k q₁q₂ / r where r is the closest distance the alpha particle got to the gold nucleus

r = (  9 × 10⁹ N.m²/c² × 3.2 × 10⁻¹⁹ C × 1.264 × 10⁻¹⁷C) / 8.459 × 10⁻¹³

= 4.3 × 10 ⁻¹⁴ m

How can you change the phases of matter using thermal energy
Leokris [45]

Answer:

These energy exchanges are not changes in kinetic energy. They are changes in bonding energy between the molecules. If heat is coming into a substance during a phase change, then this energy is used to break the bonds between the molecules of the substance.
