2. A worker drives a 0.500 kg spike into a rail tie with a 2.50 kg sledgeham- mer. The hammer hits the spike with a speed of 65.0 m/s. If one-third of the hammer's kinetic energy is converted to the internal energy of the hammer and spike, how much does the total internal energy increase?

A model steam engine of 1.00 kg mass pulls eight cars of 1.00 kg mass each. The cars start at rest and reach a velocity of6.20 m/s in a time of 3.00 s while moving a distance of 4.50 m. During that time, the net heat input is 128 J. What is the change in the internal energy of the engine? In Joules
1. A typical tablet battery recharger provides 10 Watts of power. 60% of this power is converted to chemical potential energy of the battery while the rest is lost as heat. When filled, the rechargeable battery can hold 45,000 Joules of chemical energy. How long does it take to completely charge the drained battery?
6. A smooth circular hoop with radius of 0.5 meters is placed flat on the floor. A 0.400-kg particle slides around the inside edge of the hoop. The particle is given an initial speed of 8 m/sec. After one revolution, its speed has dropped to 6 m/sec because of friction with the floor. (a) Find the energy transformed from mechanical energy to internal energy (heat) in the particle-hoop-floor system as a result of friction in one revolution. (b) What total number of revolutions will the particle make before stopping? Assume the frictional force remains constant during the entire motion. Friction along path рек 0.5m 0.4kg
2. As an example of microscopic thermodynamic analysis based on thermal-energy microstates, the figure to the right illustrates two systems (A and B), each containing two indistinguishable particles and possible energy levels from 1 to 8, with a particle residing in a given energy level having the same amount of energy as the level (e.g., a particle in energy-level 4 has 4 units of energy). The combined systems have a fixed total of 12 units of energy. Assuming that energy can be exchanged between the two systems, calculate the difference in entropy between condition #1 where the left-hand side has 8 units of energy and the right-hand side has 4 units of energy compared to condition #2 when the two sides reach their equilibrium condition. Note that the figure just shows one example of a configuration for condition #1. A 8 8 7 7 6 4 4 2 2 1 1
