Bicyclists in the Tour de France do enormous amounts of work during a race. For example, the average power per kilogram generate

d by Lance Armstrong (m = 75.0 kg) is 6.50 W per kilogram of his body mass.
(a) How much work does he do during a 160-km race in which his average speed is 11.0 m/s?

(b) Often, the work done is expressed in nutritional Calories rather than in joules. Express the work done in part (a) in terms of nutritional Calories, noting that 1 joule = 2.389x10^-4 nutritional Calories.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Average power per unit mass generated by Lance, \dfrac{P}{m}=6.5\ W/kg

P=6.5\times 75=487.5\ W

(a) Distance to cover race, d = 160\ km =160\times 10^3\ m

Average speed of the person, v = 11 m/s

If t is the time taken to cover the race.

t=\dfrac{d}{v}

t=\dfrac{160\times 10^3\ m}{11\ m/s}

t = 14545.46 s

Let W is the work done. The relation between the work done and the power is given by :

P=\dfrac{W}{t}

W=P\times t

W=487.5\times 14545.46

W = 7090911.75 J

(b) Since, 1\ J=2.389\times 10^{-4}\ calories

So, in 7090911.75 J, W=7090911.75 \times 2.389\times 10^{-4}

W = 1694.01 J

Hence, this is the required solution.

A block, M1=10kg, slides down a smooth, curved incline of height 5m. It collides elastically with another block, M2=5kg, which i
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

2.86 m

Explanation:

Given:

M₁ = 10 kg

M₂ = 5 kg

\mu_k = 0.5

height, h = 5 m

distance traveled, s = 2 m

spring constant, k = 250 N/m

now,

the initial velocity of the first block as it approaches the second block

u₁ = √(2 × g × h)

or

u₁ = √(2 × 9.8 × 5)

or

u₁ = 9.89 m/s

let the velocity of second ball be v₂

now from the conservation of momentum, we have

M₁ × u₁ = M₂ × v₂

on substituting the values, we get

10 × 9.89 = 5 × v₂

or

v₂ = 19.79 m/s

now,

let the velocity of mass 2 when it reaches the spring be v₃

from the work energy theorem,  we have

Work done by the friction force = change in kinetic energy of the mass 2

or

0.5\times5\times9.8\times2 = \frac{1}{2}\times5\times( v_3^2-19.79^2)

or

v₃ = 20.27 m/s

now, let the spring is compressed by the distance 'x'

therefore, from the conservation of energy

we have

Energy of the spring =  Kinetic energy of the mass 2

or

\frac{1}{2}kx^2=\frac{1}{2}mv_3^2

on substituting the values, we get

\frac{1}{2}\times250\times x^2=\frac{1}{2}\times5\times20.27^2

or

x = 2.86 m
