An inventor develops a stationary cycling device by which an individual, while pedaling, can convert all of the energy expended

into heat for warming water. How much mechanical energy is required to increase the temperature of 300 g of water (enough for 1 cup of coffee) from 20°C to 95°C? (1 cal = 4.186 J, the specific heat of water is 4186 J/kg⋅°C)

Answer:

Emec = 94050 [J]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we must understand that all thermal energy is converted into mechanical energy.

The thermal energy can be calculated by means of the following expression.

Q=m*C_{p}*(T_{final}-T_{initial})

where:

Q = heat [J]

Cp = specific heat of water = 4186 [J/kg*°C]

m = mass = 300 [g] = 0.3 [kg]

T_final = 95 [°C]

T_initial = 20 [°C]

Now we can calculate the heat, replacing the given values:

Q=0.3*4180*(95-20)\\Q= 94050[J]

Since all this energy must come from the mechanical energy delivered by the exercise bike, and no energy is lost during the process, the mechanical energy must be equal to the thermal energy.

Q=E_{mec}\\E_{mec}=94050[J]

15. A body moving with a velocity of 20 m/s begins to accelerate at 3 m/s2. How far does the body move in 5 seconds? A. 137.5 m
Rudik [331]

Answer is B. According to the equation of motion s = vt + 1/2 at2 Where s is distance covered, v is velocity, a is acceleration and t is time taken. So, by putting all the values, we get s = (20)(5) + 1/2 (3)(5)2 s = 100 + 1/2 (3)(25) s = 100 + 1/2 75 s = 100 + 37.5 s = 137.5 meters

docker41 [41]

Answer:

Angular velocity is same as frequency of oscillation in this case.

ω = \sqrt{\frac{7K}{m} } x [\frac{L^{2}}{mK}]^{3/14}

Explanation:

- write the equation F(r) = -Kr^{4} with angular momentum <em>L</em>

- Get the necessary centripetal acceleration with radius r₀ and make r₀ the subject.

- Write the energy of the orbit in relative to r = 0, and solve for "E".

- Find the second derivative of effective potential to calculate the frequency of small radial oscillations. This is the effective spring constant.

- Solve for effective potential

- ω = \sqrt{\frac{7K}{m} } x [\frac{L^{2}}{mK}]^{3/14}

What is the mass of an object with a density of 18 g/cm3 and a volume of 25 cm3
DiKsa [7]

Answer: 0.72 grams

Explanation: Mass can be extracted from the formula of density. D=M/V where D is density and V is volume. Therefore:

18 g/cm^3 = M(25 cm^3) --> Divide by 18g/cm^3 by 25 cm^3 to isolate mass. --> <u>0.72 =M </u> --> Now, to find out which unit you need to use for mass, just look at the density. You can see it is in g/cm^3, and cm^3 was already used for the volume. Thus, gram units are left, so that will be the unit needed, making the final answer 0.72 grams. Hope this helps :)
