Answer:

(a) 79.42 %

(b) 20.58 %

(c) 0.255 kg

Solution:

As per the question:

Power generated by a person, P = 300 W

Inclination of the treadmill from the horizontal, sin\theta = 3% = 0.03

Mass of man, m = 70 kg

Speed, v = 3 m/s

Time taken, t = 45 min = 45\times 60\ s = 2700 s

Now,

Weight of the man, W = mg = 70\times 9.8 = 686\ N

Man's weight component along the inclination of the treadmill, F = mgsin\theta = 686\times 0.03 = 20.58\ N

In order to keep moving the power lost by the man in 1 s is:

P' = Fv = 20.58\times 3 = 61.74\ W

Therefore, the power that is utilized in raising the body temperature of the man:

P'' = P - P' = 300 - 61.74 = 238.26 W

(a) The percentage of the power that is utilized in heating up the body:

%P = \frac{P''}{P}\times 100 = \frac{238.26}{300}\times 100 = 79.42%

(b) Percentage power required to keep the man moving:

%P = \frac{P'}{P}\times 100 = \frac{61.74}{300}\times 100 = 20.58%

(c) Water evaporated by the heat equals the product of the power utilized in raising the body temperature of the man and time:

Heat required to evaporate water, Q = 238.26\times 2700 = 643.302\ kJ

At 37^{\circ}C, heat required for the evaporation of 1 kg of water:

⇒ Heat required to raise the temperature of 1 kg of water at 100^{\circ}C + Heat required for conversion of 1 kg of water into steam at 100^{\circ}C

⇒ mc\Delta T + mL_{v}= 1\times 4186(100 - 37) + 1\times 2256254 = 2519972\ J

where

L_{v} = Latent heat of vaporization

Therefore, mass of water evaporated, m_{w} = \frac{Q}{2519972} = \frac{643302}{2519972} = 0.255\ kg

How do objects and substances have kinetic energy??<br><br> I need help ASAP!!
9966 [12]

Objects and substances in motion have Kinetic Energy.

Explanation:

Kinetic Energy is the motion of objects, substances, molecules, atoms .

Whenever an object starts to move, it is in motion. Kinetic Energy is generated, when the object moves and its potential energy gets dropped with the movement. Kinetic Energy is found in every object that moves.

The Kinetic Energy of an object depends both on its mass and its speed. Kinetic Energy increases as mass and speed are increased.

Example:  By using the wind flow from wind turbines, the Kinetic energy in the wind can be transformed to generate electricity by using generators.

Which atmospheric condition is most likely responsible for the wind blowing the clouds from the sea towards the land?
lions [1.4K]
Uneven heating of land and sea causes warm air over land to rise up, creating a low pressure zone. So wind blows in from the sea to fill this low pressure zone

The slider of mass m is released from rest in position A and slides without friction along the vertical-plane guide shown. Deter
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

The value of normal force as the slider passes point B is

  • 6 mg

The value of h when the normal force is zero

  • 3R/2

<h3>How to solve for the normal force</h3>

The normal force is calculated using the work energy principle which is applied as below

K₁ + U₁ = K₂

k represents kinetic energy

U represents potential energy

the subscripts 1,2 , and 3 = a, b, and c

for 1 to 2

K₁ + W₁ = K₂

0 + mg(h + R) = 0.5mv²₂

g(h + R) = 0.5v²₂

v²₂ = 2g(1.5R + R)

v²₂ = 2g(2.5R)

v²₂ = 5gR

Using summation of forces at B

Normal force, N  = ma + mg

N = m(a + g)

N = m(v²₂/R + g)

N = m(5gR/R + g)

N = 6mg

for 1 to 3

K₁ + W₁ = K₃ + W₃

0 + mgh = 0.5mv²₃ + mgR

gh = 0.5v²₃ + gR

0.5v²₃ = gh - gR

v²₃ = 2g(h - R)

at C

for normal force to be zero

ma = mg

v²₃/R = g

v²₃ = gR

and v²₃ = 2g(h - R)

gR = 2gh - 2gR

gR + 2gR = 2gh

3gR = 2gh

3R/2 = h
