Chapter 10, Problem 1CQ
The brake shoes of your car are made of a material that can tolerate very high temperatures without being damaged. Why is this so?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
To explain: The reason for usage of high temperature tolerance material for the brake shoes of the car.
Answer to Problem 1CQ
The reason for usage of high temperature tolerance material for the brake shoes of the car is explained.
Explanation of Solution
Given data:
The material used to make the brake shoes of the car is the material that tolerates very high temperatures without any damage.
Explanation:
The brakes of the car slowdown the car by converting the kinetic energy of the car to thermal energy in the brake shoes through the friction.
The cars have large amount of kinetic energy. When the brakes are applied, the large amount of kinetic energy is converted in to thermal energy in the brake shoes through the friction.
As the huge amount of thermal energy is formed at the brake shoes, the temperature on the brake shoes increases to a very large value. Therefore, in order to prevent the damage due to very high temperatures, the brake shoes are made with the materials that are able to tolerate very high temperatures.
Conclusion:
Thus, the reason for usage of high temperature tolerance material for the brake shoes of the car is explained.

A golf ball is dropped from a 50 meter tall building. These suckers are quite bouncy... but not perfectly bouncy. Your buddy notices that on its first bounce, it reaches 46 meters high. Clearly this ball is "losing"
energy to friction in the collision with the ground. Find the fraction of the total initial energy friction stole from the ball as it bounced in a slightly inelastic manner. Or in other words,
Wf
%D
E Eo
(Note: A fraction of 0 indicates a perfectly elastic bounce, meaning no energy is "lost" to friction. A fraction of 1 indicates a perfectly inelastic bounce, meaning ALL the energy went into friction stuff. This golf ball
Is quite bouncy, so expect an answer closer to 0 than 1.)

- Scallops use muscles to close their shells. Opening the shell is another story—muscles can only pull, they can’t push. Instead of muscles, the shell is opened by a spring, a pad of a very elastic biological material called abductin. When the shell closes, the pad compresses; a restoring force then pushes the shell back open. The energy to open the shell comes from the elastic energy that was stored when the shell was closed. Shown is a smoothed data for the restoring force of an abductin pad versus the compression. When the shell closes, the pad compresses by 0.15 mm.

To accomplish this, you decide to do a series of arm raises holding a 5.5 kg weight in one hand. The distance from your elbow to the weight is 38 cm, and in each arm raise you start with your arm horizontal and pivot it until it is vertical. Assume that the weight of your arm is small enough compared with the weight you are lifting that you can ignore it. As is typical, your muscles are 20 % in converting the food energy they use up into mechanical energy, with the rest going into heat. If your dessert contained 350 food calories, how many arm raises must you do to work off these calories?arrow_forwardIf you dive straight into water, you’ll go deeper than doing a belly flop, why?
