How are the energy conversions of machines similar to the energy conversions in your body

Physics
1 answer:
sleet_krkn [62]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Explained below

Explanation:

When we eat food, our body gets chemical energy from it. Now, this chemical energy from the food is changed into some different energy forms that is useful to it. They include:

-Chemical to mechanical energy to aid in movement of muscles

- chemical to thermal energy to aid in regulating the body temperature.

- chemical to electrical energy to aid the brain in thinking.

Thus is similar to how a machine converts energy because machines also generate energy after being powered and convert to other forms of energy. For example, an alarm clock converts electrical energy to sound energy, hair dryer converts electrical energy to thermal/heat energy.

The third floor of a house is 8m above street level. How much work is needed to move a 136kg refrigerator to the third floor?
jonny [76]

m = Mass of the refrigerator to be moved to third floor = 136 kg

g = Acceleration due to gravity by earth on the refrigerator being moved = 9.8 m/s²

h = Height to which the refrigerator is moved  = 8 m

W = Work done in lifting the object

Work done in lifting the object is same as the gravitational potential energy gained by the refrigerator. hence

Work done = Gravitation potential energy of refrigerator

W = m g h

inserting the values

W = (136) (9.8) (8)

W = 10662.4 J

Two identical 3.0-kg cubes are placed on a horizontal surface in
DedPeter [7]

The magnitude of the force exerted by the left cube on the right cube is 17.64N.

<h3>What is frictional force?</h3>

When an object is moving on a rough surface, it experiences opposition. This opposing force is called the friction.

Two identical 3.0-kg cubes are placed on a horizontal surface in contact with one another. The cubes are lined up from left to right and a force F₁ is applied to the left side of the left cube causing both cubes to move at a constant speed v. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the cubes and the surface is 0.3.

From the equilibrium of forces in vertical direction

Normal force N= 2m x g

friction force f = μN =μ(2m)g

From the equilibrium of forces in horizontal direction

F₁ =ma =0

using Newton's third law of motion, we get

F₁  - f =0

F₁  =f = μ(2m)g

Put the values, we get

F₁  = 17.64N

Thus, magnitude of the force exerted by the left cube on the right cube is 17.64N.
