I keep getting the same wrong answer for this what am I doing wrong? You are designing a runaway truck ramp for Interstate 70 near Dillon. The setup is shown below.springgravelThe hill is covered in gravel so that the truck's wheels will slide up the hill instead of rolling up the hill. The coefficient of kinetic frictionbetween the tires and the gravel is uk. This design has a spring at the top of the ramp that will help to stop the trucks. This spring islocated at height h. The spring will compress until the truck stops, and then a latch will keep the spring from decompressing (stretchingback out). The spring can compress a maximum distance x because of the latching mechanism. Your job is to determine how strong thespring must be. In other words, you need to find the spring constant so that a truck of mass mt, moving at an initial speed of vo, will bestopped. For this problem, it is easiest to define the system such that it contains everything: Earth, hill, truck, gravel, spring, etc. In all ofthe following questions, the initial configuration is the truck moving with a speed of vo on the level ground, and the final configuration isthe truck stopped on the hill with the spring compressed by an amount x. The truck is still in contact with the spring. *Solve all of thequestions algebraically first. Then use the following values to get a number for the desired answer.* mt = 19000 kgvo = 64 m/sx = 3 metersh = 47 metersHk = 0.620 = 33.1 degreesL = 10.8 metersWUgEtFind the change in thermal energy of the system. *Note: The region under the spring also has gravel under it.*ΔΕnerm3659327.409 N*i>> <

If you run down some stairs and stop, what happens to your kinetic energy and your initial gravitational potential energy?
A 50.0-kg student evaluates a weight loss program by calculating the number of times she would need to climb a 12.0-m high flight of steps in order to lose one pound (0.45 kg) of fat. Metabolizing 1.00 kg of fat can release 3.77 107 J of chemical energy and the body can convert about 20.0% of this into mechanical energy. (The rest goes into internal energy.) (a) How much mechanical energy can the body produce from 0.450 kg of fat? (b) How many trips up the flight of steps are required for the student to lose 0.450 kg of fat? Ignore the relatively small amount of energy required to return down the stairs.
A student has the idea that the total work done on an object is equal to its final kinetic energy. Is this idea true always, sometimes, or never? Ii it is sometimes true, under what circumstances? If it is always or never true, explain why.
A 4ton air conditioner removes 5.60107J (48,000 British thermal units) from a cold environment in 1.00 h. (a) What energy input in joules is necessary to do this if the air conditioner has an energy efficiency rating (EER) of 12.0? (b) What is the cost of doing this if the work costs 10.0 cents per 3.60106J (one kilowatt—hour)? (c) Discuss whether this cost seems realistic. Note that the energy efficiency rating (EER) of an air conditioner or refrigerator is defined to be the number of British thermal units of heat transfer from a cold environment per hour divided by the watts of power input.
(a) How long will the energy in a 1470kJ (350kcal) cup of yogurt last in a woman doing work at the rate of 150 W with an efficiency of 20.0% (such as in leisurely climbing stairs)? (b) Does the time found in part (a) imply that it is easy to consume more food energy than you can reasonably expect to work off with exercise?
A persons basal metabolic rate (BMR) is the rate at which energy is expended while resting in a neutrally temperate environment. A typical BMR is 7.00 106 J/day. Convert this BMR to units of (a) watts and (b) kilocalories (or Calories) per hour. (c) Suppose a 1.00-kg objects gravitation potential energy is increased at a rate equal to this typical BMR. Find the rate of change of the objects height in m/s.
Shoveling snow can be extremely taxing because the arms have such a low efficiency in this activity. Suppose a person shoveling a footpath metabolizes food at the rate of 800 W.

(c) How much waste heat transfer in kilojoules will she generate in the process?

answer BOTH or NONE 1. For exercise, an athlete lifts a barbell that weighs 400 N from the ground to a height of 2.20 m at a constant speed in a time of 1.60 s. How much thermal energy is created in this process, in kJ (kiloJoule)? Your answer needs to have 3 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not include the positive sign if the answer is positive. No unit is needed in your answer, it is already given in the question statement. 2.

what happens to the “lost” kinetic energy that is not converted to gravitational potential energy? A. The ”lost” energy is converted to other forms of energy, such as heat, sound, and light; energy conservation is intact. B. The ”lost” energy is indeed truly lost, and in this instance total energy is not con- served.
