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]

<h3>What is vertical  acceleration?</h3>

A vertical acceleration is typically one for which the direction of the vector is vertically upward, usually aligned with and opposite to the gravity vector. But this is a descriptive term, not a rigorous or technical term. A car may accelerate along a road and that would generally be assumed to be a horizontal.

The vector perpendicular to this direction, as perhaps a suspension motion over a bump, would be described as vertical even if it is not strictly vertical.

Note that acceleration is defined as the rate of change of the velocity vector. But the gravitation vector, ‘g’, generally vertically downward, is often denoted by what acceleration a mass in free fall (absent air resistance) would experience, i.e. the relationship between mass and weight.

What is the potential energy of a 2500 g object suspended 5 m above the earth's surface?
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

Explanation:

Potential energy, which is the energy a body assumes at a position, can be calculated using the formula:

P.E = m × g × h

Where;

m = mass (kg)

g = acceleration due to gravity (10m/s²)

h = height (m)

A healthy astronaut's heart rate is 60 beats/min. Flight doctors on Earth can monitor an astronaut's vital signs remotely while
Anton [14]
GIVEN:
   60 beats per minute
   21 beats per minute
   find x= how fast would an astronaut be flying away
 1            x
-----   *  ------ = (60x = 21)  -------> 60x = 21    ------------>  x= 0.35 
60         21                                  -------   -----
                                                     60      60

The answer is 0.35 seconds which refers to how fast would an astronaut be flying away from the earth if he has a heart rate of 21 beats/min.

A block is released from rest, at a height h, and allowed to slide down an inclined plane. There is friction on the plane. At th
GREYUIT [131]

Here the block has two work done on it

1. Work done by gravity

2. Work done by friction force

So here it start from height "h" and then again raise to height hA after compressing the spring

So work done by the gravity is given as

W_g = m_A g(h - h_A)

Now work done by the friction force is to be calculated by finding total path length because friction force is a non conservative force and its work depends on total path

W_f = -(\mu m_A g cos\theta)(\frac{h}{sin\theta} + \frac{h_A}{sin\theta})

W_f = -\mu m_A g cot\theta(h + h_A)

Total work done on it

W = m_A g(h - h_A) - \mu m_A g cot\theta(h + h_A)

So answer will be

None of these

Which of the following quantities is a scalar?
djyliett [7]

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

Scalar quantities are described by its magnitude only. They do not need to be described by the direction. So, 20 miles per hour is the scalar quantity.
