Kinetic energy is commonly referred to as the energy of ___, and potential energy as the energy of ___. (4.2)
A mechanic pushes a 2.50 103-kg car from rest to a speed of v, doing 5.00 103 J of work in the process. During this time, the car moves 25.0 m. Neglecting friction between car and road, find (a) v and (b) the horizontal force excited on the car.
Energy is conventionally measured in Calories as well as in joules. One Calorie in nutrition is 1 kilocalorie, which we define in Chapter 11 as 1 kcal = 4 186 J. Metabolizing 1 gram of fat can release 9.00 kcal. A student decides to try to lose weight by exercising. She plans to run up and down the stairs in a football stadium as fast as she can and as many times as necessary. Is this in itself a practical way to lose weight? To evaluate the program, suppose she runs up a flight of 80 steps, each 0.150 m high, in 65.0 s. For simplicity, ignore the energy she uses in coming down (which is small). Assume that a typical efficiency for human muscles is 20.0%. This means that when your body converts 100 J from metabolizing fat, 20 J goes into doing mechanical work (here, climbing stairs). The remainder goes into internal energy. Assume the students mass is 50.0 kg. (a) How many times must she run the flight of stairs to lose 1 pound of fat? (b) What is her average power output, in watts and in horsepower, as she is running up the stairs?
An older-model car accelerates from 0 to speed v in a time interval of t. A newer, more powerful sports car accelerates from 0 to 2v in the same time period. Assuming the energy coming from the engine appears only as kinetic energy of the cars, compare the power of the two cars.
(Indicates a review question, which means it requires only a basic understanding of the material to answer. Questions without this designation typically require integrating or extending the concepts presented thus far.) 29. A person runs up several flights of stairs and is exhausted at the top. Later, the same person walks up the same stairs and does not feel as tired. Why is this? Ignoring air resistance, does it take more work or energy to run up the stairs than to walk up?
. The fastest that a human has run is about 12 m/s. (a) If a pole vaulter could run this fast and convert all of her kinetic energy into gravitational potential energy, how high would she go? (b) Compare this height with the world record in the pole vault.
Do you do work on the outside world when you rub your hands together to warn) then)? What is the efficiency of this activity?
What is the difference between energy conservation and the law of conservation of energy? Give some examples of each.
A flea is able to jump about 0.5 m. It has been said that if a flea were as big as a human, it would be able to jump over a 100-story building! When an animal jumps, it converts work done in contracting muscles into gravitational potential energy (with some steps in between). The maximum force exerted by a muscle is proportional to its cross-sectional area, and the work done by the muscle is this force times the length of contraction. If we magnified a flea by a factor of 1 000, the cross section of its muscle would increase by 1 0002 and the length of contraction would increase by 1 000. How high would this superflea be able to jump? (Dont forget that the mass of the superflea" increases as well.)
