We can solve the problem by using the first law of thermodynamics:
where
is the variation of internal energy of the system
Q is the heat added to the system
W is the work done by the system
In this problem, the variation of internal energy of the system is
While the heat added to the system is
therefore, the work done by the system is
More force is needed for more mass. Therefore, if the mass is greater and the force is not enough then the object will less likely accelerate
A. Bones provide protection for organs in the body
(a)
KE = m v^2 / 2 = (1200 kg)(20 m/s)^2 / 2 = 240,000 J
(b)
The energy is entirely dissipated by the force of friction in the brake system.
(c)
W = delta KE = KEf - KEi = (0 - 240,000) J = -240,000 J
(d)
Fd = delta KE
F = (delta KE) / d = (-240,000 J) / (50 m) = -4800 N
The magnitude of the friction force is 4800 N.
