Textbook Question
Chapter 13, Problem 98AE
SI The accompanying photo shows a pipevine swallowtail caterpillar climbing up a twig.
- As the caterpillar climbs, its potential energy is increasing. What source of energy has been used to effect this change in potential energy?
- If the caterpillar is the system, can you predict the sign of q as the caterpillar climbs?
- Does the caterpillar do work in climbing the twig? Explain.
- Does the amount of work done in climbing a 12-inch section of the twig depend on the speed of the caterpillar's climb?
- Does the change in potential energy depend on thecaterpillars speed of climb? [Section 5.1]
