Chapter 1, Problem 1.81P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The kind of energy which is generated by shivering needs to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

The energy which is possessed through the motion of any object is recognized as kinetic energy. An object which is moving with velocity v having mass m has the kinetic energy is as below:

$\boxed{{\text{E}}_{\text{k}}\text{ = }\frac{1}{2}{\text{mv}}^{\text{2}}}$

An illustration, of kinetic energy is the swinging pendulum.
