Phenomenon a new "diet"
Your friend Trent is excited about physics because they have discovered they can eat all the shave ice they want without
gaining any weight. He says, "I put just the right amount of flavored syrup on the ice such that I don't gain any net
energy in the process." You, being a PHYS 2A student, are skeptical and decide to check it out for yourself. You'll need to
model "eating" the shave ice. All the information you need to answer this question can be found here, on the Maybe
Useful Information page.
The Big Question you are trying to answer is: Do you agree or disagree with Trent's claim: "I put just the right amount of
flavored syrup on the ice such that I don't gain any net energy in the process."
Your task is to answer the Big Question in the form of an argument using the Claim, Evidence, Reasoning framework. To
do this, you will need to model "eating" the shave ice to come up with a quantitative prediction of the energy
gained/released during the process of…
Q20:
Dr. Fahrrad has been riding his bike to his job and is curious how many ATP his body is breaking apart in order to do the work required to get to his job.
Dr. Fahrrad rides 8.6 kilometers to his job, has a mass of 68.4 kilograms and has an average acceleration of 2.4 kilometers per second squared.
The molecule ATP is able to do work, measured in kilojoules per mole of ATP broken into ADP. The SI unit for work is a joule. Using the information given we can calculate work and then convert to moles of ATP.
The first step is to take stock of what we are given in the word problem and what we are trying to find. We have mass, distance, and average acceleration. We are trying to find how many ATP are required to power the bike ride to work.
The equation for work, is force times distance and will tell us how many joules Dr. Farrhad is using on his bike ride. It also incorporates one of our given variables, distance. However, the distance was reported in kilometers and the SI unit of…

Although the bird enjoys the theoretical maximum efficiency possible, it left to its own devices ever time, the bird will cease “drinking." What are some of the dissipative processes that might cause the bird's motion to cease? Figure 15.21 This novelty toy, known as the drinking bird, IS an example of Carnot's engine. It contains methylene chloride (mixed with a dye) in the abdomen, which boils at a very low temperature—about 100°F. To operate, one gets the bird's head wet. As the water evaporates, fluid moves up into the head, causing the bird to become top-heavy and dip forward back into the water. This cools down the methylene chloride in the head, and it moves back into the abdomen, causing the bird to become bottom heavy and tip up. Except for a very small Input of energy—the original head- wetting—the bird becomes a perpetual motion machine of sorts. (credit: Arabesk.nl, Wikimedia Commons)arrow_forward
