A large force is required to accelerate the mass of the bicycle and rider. Once the desired constant velocity is reached, a much smaller force is sufficient to overcome the ever-present frictional forces.
The change in temperature here corresponds to a sensible heat. The amount of energy required can be calculated by multiplying the specific heat capacity, the amount of the substance and the corresponding change in temperature.
Heat required = mCΔT
Heat required = 0.368 kg (0.0920 cal/g°C) (60 - 23)°C
Heat required = 1.25 cal
Answer:
11760 joules
Explanation:
Given
Mass (m) = 75kg
Height (h) = 16m
Required
Determine the increment in potential energy (PE)
This is calculated as thus:
PE = mgh
Where g = 9.8m/s²
Substitute values for m, g and h.
P.E = 75 * 9.8 * 16
P.E = 11760 joules

Reaction rates are affected by reactant concentrations and temperature. this is accounted for by the c</span>ollision model.
