Susan, whose mass is 68 kg, climbs 59 m to the top of the Cape Hatteras lighthouse.a. During the climb, by how much does her potential energy increase?b. For a typical efficiency of 25%, what metabolic energy does she require to complete the climb?c. When exercising, the body must perspire and use other mechanisms to cool itself to avoid potentially dangerous increases on body temperature. If we assume that Susan doesn’t perspire or otherwise cool herself and that all of the “lost” energy goes into increasing her body temperature, by how much would her body temperature increase during this climb?
A copper block with a mass of 8.2 kg initially slides over a rough horizontal surface with a speed of 3.1 m/s. Friction slows the block to rest. While slowing to rest, 85.0% of the kinetic energy of the block is absorbed by the block itself as internal energy. What is the temperature increase of the block? (Celsius.)
What happens to the remaining energy?
A. It vanishes from the universe.
B. It is absorbed by the horizontal surface on which the block slides.
C. It becomes chemical energy.
D. It is so minute that it doesn't factor into the equation.
2. A rubberized, cubic chamber was filled with butane gas and was expanded from 3.0L to 4.5L at a
pressure of 2.7atm and it absorbed 230J of heat from the surroundings.
What is the change in the energy of the system? Express your answer in L atm.
b. Assuming that the internal energy of this system is all kinetic energy and that the cube
contains one mole of butane gas, what is the velocity of a single butane molecule covering a
distance between the opposite corners of the expanded cube (express in m)? How long
would it take to cover that distance (express in sec, use SI prefixes instead of scientific
notation)?
a.
How much power can be generated by all the molecules in this cube after 1 hour? Express
your answer in W. (Use the v obtained from 2b then recompute total KE)
