- 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.arrow_forward. A 1,200-kg car going 25 m/s is brought to a stop using its brakes. Let's assume that a total of approximately 20 kg of iron in the brakes and wheels absorbs the heat produced by the friction. (a) What was the car's original kinetic energy? (b) After the ear has stopped, what is the change in temperature of the brakes and wheels?arrow_forwardUnreasonable Results A slightly deranged Arctic inventor surrounded by ice thinks it would be much less mechanically complex to cool a car engine by melting ice on it than by having a water-cooled system with a radiator, water pump, antifreeze, and so on. (a) If 80.0% of the energy in 1.00 gal of gasoline is converted into waste heat” in a car engine, how many kilograms of 0°C ice could it melt? (b) Is this a reasonable amount of ice to carry around to cool the engine for 1.00 gal of gasoline consumption? (c) What premises or assumptions are unreasonable?arrow_forward
- A 75-kg sprinter accelerates from rest to a speed of 11.0 m/s in 5.0 s. (a) Calculate the mechanical work done by the sprinter during this time. (b) Calculate the average power the sprinter must generate. (c) If the sprinter converts food energy to mechanical energy with an efficiency of 25%, at what average rate is he burning Calories? (d) What happens to the other 75% of the food energy being used?arrow_forwardSuppose a woman does 500 J of work and 9500 J of heat transfer occurs into the environment in the process. (a) What is the decrease in her internal energy, assuming no change in temperature or consumption of feed? (That is, there is no other energy transfer.) (b) What is her eficiency?arrow_forward(a) A woman climbing the Washington Monument metabolizes 6.00102kJ of food energy. If her efficiency is 18.0%, how much heat transfer occurs to the environment to keep her temperature constant? (b) Discuss the amount of heat transfer found in (a). Is it consistent with the fact that you quickly warm up when exercising?arrow_forward

(a) How much heat transfer occurs to the environment? (b) How many barrels of fuel are consumed, if each barrel produces 6.00109J of heat transfer when burned?arrow_forwardThe brakes in a car increase in temperature by T when bringing the car to rest from a speed v. How much greater would T be if the car initially had twice the speed? You may assume the car to stop suf?ciently fast so that no heat transfers out at the brakes.arrow_forward
- How much heat transfer occurs from a system, if its internal energy decreased by 150 J while it was doing 30.0 J of work?arrow_forwardHydrothermal vents deep on the ocean floor spout water at temperatures as high as 570C. This temperature is below the boiling point of water because of the immense pressure at that depth. Because the surrounding ocean temperature is at 4.0C, an organism could use the temperature gradient as a source of energy. (a) Assuming the specific heat of water under these conditions is 1.0 cal/g C, how much energy is released when 1.0 L of water is cooled from 570C to 4.0C? (b) What is the maximum usable energy an organism can extract from this energy source? (Assume the organism has some internal type of heat engine acting between the two temperature extremes.) (c) Water from these vents contains hydrogen sulfide (H2S) at a concentration of 0.90 mmole/L. Oxidation of 1.0 mole of H2S produces 310 kJ of energy. How much energy is available through H2S oxidation of 1.0 L of water?arrow_forwardA gas is compressed inside a cylinder (Figure 5.16), An average force of 50 N acts to move the piston 0.1 m.
