Chapter 14, Problem 56E
Suppose an Olympic diver who weighs 52.0 kg executes a straight dive from a 10-m platform. At the apex of the dive, the diver is 10.8 m above the surface of the water.
- What is the potential energy of the diver at the apex of the dive, relative to the surface of the water?
- Assuming that all the potential energy of the diver is converted into kinetic energy at the surface of the water, at what speed, in m/s, will the diver enter the water?
- Does the diver do work on entering the water? Explain.

- A piece of chocolate cake contains about 400 calories. A nutritional calorie is equal to 1000 calories (thermochemical calories), which is equal to 4.184 kJ. How many 8-in-high steps must a 180-lb man climb to expend the 400 Cal from the piece of cake? See Exercise 28 for the formula for potential energy.arrow_forwardA rebreathing gas mask contains potassium superoxide, KO2, which reacts with moisture in the breath to give oxygen. 4KO2(s)+2H2O(l)4KOH(s)+3O2(g) Estimate the grams of potassium superoxide required to supply a persons oxygen needs for one hour. Assume a person requires 1.00 102 kcal of energy for this time period. Further assume that this energy can be equated to the heat of combustion of a quantity of glucose, C6H12O6, to CO2(g) and H2O(l). From the amount of glucose required to give 1.00 102 kcal of heat, calculate the amount of oxygen consumed and hence the amount of KO2 required. The ff0 for glucose(s) is 1273 kJ/mol.arrow_forwardNiagara Falls has a height of 167 ft (American Falls).

After it passes through the radiator it has a temperature of 175 F. Calculate the amount of heat transferred from the engine to the surroundings by one gallon of water with a specific heat of 4.184 J/g oC.arrow_forwardIn the 1880s, Frederick Trouton noted that the enthalpy of vaporization of 1 mol pure liquid is approximately 88 times the boiling point, Tb, of the liquid on the Kelvin scale. This relationship is called Troutons rule and is represented by the thermochemical equation liquid gas H = 88 Tb, joules Combined with an empirical formula from chemical analysis, Troutons rule can be used to find the molecular formula of a compound, as illustrated here. A compound that contains only carbon and hydrogen is 85.6% C and 14.4% H. Its enthalpy of vaporization is 389 J/g, and it boils at a temperature of 322 K. (a) What is the empirical formula of this compound? (b) Use Troutons rule to calculate the approximate enthalpy or vaporization or one mole of the compound. Combine the enthalpy of vaporization per mole with that same quantity per gram to obtain an approximate molar mass of the compound. (c) Use the results of parts (a) and (b) to find the molecular formula of this compound. Remember that the molecular mass must be exactly a whole-number multiple of the empirical formula mass, so considerable rounding may be needed.arrow_forward
