Answer:

Explanation:

Position is the location of the object (whether it's a person, a ball, or a particle) at a given moment in time.

Displacement is the difference in the object's position from one time to another.

Distance is the total amount the object has traveled in a certain period of time.

I hope this helps!

You set your stationary bike on a high 80-N friction-like resistive force and cycle for 30 min at a speed of 8.0 m/s . Your body

stellarik [79]

A) The change in internal chemical energy is $1.15\cdot 10^7 J$

B) The time needed is 1 minute

Explanation:

First of all, we start by calculating the power output of you and the bike, given by:

$P=Fv$

where

F = 80 N is the force that must be applied in order to overcome friction and travel at constant speed

v = 8.0 m/s is the velocity

Substituting,

$P=(80)(8.0)=640 W$

The energy output is related to the power by the equation

$P=\frac{E}{t}$

where:

P = 640 W is the power output

E is the energy output

$t = 30 min \cdot 60 = 1800 s$ is the time elapsed

Solving for E,

$E=Pt=(640)(1800)=1.15\cdot 10^6 J$

Since the body is 10% efficient at converting chemical energy into mechanical work (which is the output energy), this means that the change in internal chemical energy is given by

$\Delta E = \frac{E}{0.10}=\frac{1.15\cdot 10^6}{0.10}=1.15\cdot 10^7 J$

From the previous part, we found that in a time of

t = 30 min

the amount of internal chemical energy converted is

$E=1.15\cdot 10^7 J$

Here we want to find the time t' needed to convert an amount of chemical energy of

$E'=3.8\cdot 10^5 J$

So we can setup the following proportion:

$\frac{t}{E}=\frac{t'}{E'}$

And solving for t',

$t'=\frac{E't}{E}=\frac{(3.8\cdot 10^5)(30)}{1.15\cdot 10^7}=1 min$

Ratling [72]

Answer:

CHEMICAL CHANGE:

A change in which one or more substances are converted into new substances is a chemical change.

EXPLANATION:

Chemical changes occur when a substance combines with another to form a new substance, called chemical synthesis or, alternatively, chemical decomposition into two or more different substances.

EXAMPLE:

Examples of Chemical Change in Everyday Life

Burning of paper and log of wood.

Digestion of food.

Boiling an egg.

Chemical battery usage.

Electroplating a metal.

Baking a cake.

Milk going sour.

Various metabolic reactions that take place in the cells.

A coat rack weighs 65.0 lbs when it is filled with winter coats and 40.0 lbs when it is empty. The base of the coat rack has an

Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

0.056 psi more pressure is exerted by filled coat rack than an empty coat rack.

Explanation:

First we find the pressure exerted by the rack without coat. So, for that purpose, we use formula:

P₁ = F/A

where,

P₁ = Pressure exerted by empty rack = ?

F = Force exerted by empty rack = Weight of Empty Rack = 40 lb

A = Base Area = 452.4 in²

Therefore,

P₁ = 40 lb/452.4 in²

P₁ = 0.088 psi

Now, we calculate the pressure exerted by the rack along with the coat.

P₂ = F/A

where,

P₂ = Pressure exerted by rack filled with coats= ?

F = Force exerted by filled rack = Weight of Filled Rack = 65 lb

A = Base Area = 452.4 in²

Therefore,

P₂ = 65 lb/452.4 in²

P₂ = 0.144 psi

Now, the difference between both pressures is:

ΔP = P₂ - P₁

ΔP = 0.144 psi - 0.088 psi

ΔP = 0.056 psi
