A machine is a device that accepts energy in some available form and utilizes it to do a type of work. Energy, work, or power has to be transferred from one mechanical part to another to run a machine. While the transfer of energy between two machine par…

Kinetic Energy and Work-Energy Theorem

In physics, work is the product of the net force in direction of the displacement and the magnitude of this displacement or it can also be defined as the energy transfer of an object when it is moved for a distance due to the forces acting on it in the d…

Textbook Question

Chapter 10, Problem 45P

In the winter activity of tubing, riders slide down snow- covered slopes while sitting on large inflated rubber tubes. To get to the top of the slope, a rider and his tube, with a total mass of 80 kg, are pulled at a constant speed by a tow rope that maintains a constant tension of 340 N. How much thermal energy is created in the slope and the tube during the ascent of a 30-m-high, 120-m-long slope?

In the winter activity of tubing, riders slide down snow covered slopes while sitting on large inflated rubber tubes. To get to the top of the slope, a 2.50 kg tube, is pulled at a constant speed by a tow rope that maintains a constant tension of 12.0 N along the direction of the slope. How much thermal energy is created in the slope and the tube during the ascent of a 6.10-m-high, 51.8-m-long slope, in Joule? Use g = 10.0 m/s2. Your answer needs to have 3 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not include the positive sign if the answer is positive. No unit is needed in your answer, it is already given in the question statement.

Assuming that the animal is at rest, its top speed is 32.7 meters per second (m/s). A cheetah's top speed can be calculated in terms of net work (in J). A food Calorie is equal to 4186 J. What is the cheetah's maximum net work calorie requirement? The amount calculated here is only a fraction of the energy that must be produced by the cheetah's body due to inefficiencies in converting chemical energy to mechanical energy.

When water flows through river rapids or over a waterfall, it experiences a decrease in height and thus a decrease in gravitational potential energy. Some of this energy goes into producing noise and eroding rock, but much of the energy goes into heating the water. A river flows over a waterfall of height h = 46 m. Assume all the available gravitational energy is converted into internal energy of the water. There is no change in the kinetic energy, because the flow speed of the river is the same above and below the waterfall. Enter an expression for the change in temperature of the water, in terms of the height of the waterfall, h, the specific heat of water, c, and the acceleration due to gravity, g. Calculate the change in temperature, in degrees Celsius, of the river water in this problem. The specific heat of water is 4.19×103 J/(kg⋅°C).
