The awe-inspiring Great Pyramid of Cheops was built more than 4500 years ago. Its square base, originally 230 m on a side, covered 13.1 acres, and it was 146 m high, with a mass of about

- A 62 kg man climbs the CN tower which is 0.55 km high in 30 min. How powerful is the man? a) 1.9 X 10¹ W b) 1.9 X 10² W c) 1.1 X 10⁴ W d) 1.9 X 10⁻¹ Warrow_forwardThe human heart is a powerful organ. If your heart can take in and discharge about 6773.2 liters of blood per day, what is your heart’s daily output in watts? Assume that the work done by your heart is the work needed to lift all blood to 1.7meters. The density of blood is 1.06 kg/L. (round off into 4 decimal places, use 9.81m/s squared for accelerationarrow_forwardA large roller in the form of a uniform cylinder is pulled by a tractor to compact earth; it has a 180-cm diameter and weighs 10 kN. If frictional losses can be ignored, what average horsepower must the tractor provide to accelerate it from rest to a speed of 14.4 kph in a horizontal distance of 3 m?arrow_forward
- Ignoring details associated with friction, extra forces exerted by arm and leg muscles, and other factors, we can consider a pole vault as the conversion of an athlete’s running kinetic energy to gravitational potential energy. If an athlete is to lift his body 4.8 m during a vault, what speed must he have when he plants his pole?arrow_forwardA 75 kg road bicycle racer rides down the highway from Pikes peak. During one stretch of the ride, he descends 5 meters in 12.5 seconds, while accelerating from 35 km/hr to 55 km/hr. Assuming rotational kinetic energy and dissipative forces to be negligible, what average power is supplied by the gravitational force during this time?arrow_forwardCan someone please show me how to compute this? With explanation and illustrations please. Thank you A. Calculate the total mass (kg) of a person climbing a hill 200 meters high if the work done is 186.2 kJ. B. The largest bulldozer ever built had a mass of about 1.5 x 105 kg and a blade 7.4 m wide. Its two engines had a total maximum power output of about 1.7 MW. How much work (in megajoules) could this machine do each hour?arrow_forward
- The unit of work, joule, is dimensionally the same as: a. Newton‑meter b. Newton/kilogram. c. kg•m2/s2 d. a and c e. a and b f. b and carrow_forwardWhat mechanical work must you do to lift a uniform log that is 2.5 m long and has a mass of 140 kg from the horizontal to a vertical position?arrow_forwardwhat is the dot product of C and E, if C = 3.45i - 3.5j + 3.48k and E = -3.6i - 7.11j + 3.13k?arrow_forward
- Consider the mechanical energy of a body in geostationary orbit above the Earth's equator, at rGS=42000 km. Consider the mechanical energy of the same body on Earth at the South pole, at re=6400 km. For this problem, we consider the Earth to be spherical. (Remember, the object at the equator is in orbit, the object at the Pole is not in orbit.) G=6.67×10−11 Nm2kg−2, and the mass of the Earth is M=5.97×1024 kg What is the difference in the mechanical energy per kilogram between the two? E =E= ___ MJ.kg−1 (to two significant figures, don't use scientific notation)arrow_forwardA patient’s heart pumps 5.00 L of blood per minute into the aorta, which has a diameter of 1.80 cm. The average force exerted by the heart on the blood is 16.3 N. What is the average mechanical power output of the heart?arrow_forwardWe have this equation in 1D. If the terms confuse you, just follow the math: m d v/ d t − F = 0 Multiply everything by d x, identify d x / d t = v, and integrate. You need only one constant of integration, E, and put it on the right side. The m and v term is called K (for "kinetic energy" or "energy of motion"). E is the energy ("total energy" or "total mechanical energy"). F isn't constant in general. The F integral is identified with the potential energy: U = − ∫ F d x Write down the resulting equation (the "energy conservation equation").arrow_forward
