You push a 33-kg table across a 6.2-m-wide room. In the process, 1.5 kJ of mechanical energy gets converted to internal energy of the table/floor system. What's the coefficient of kinetic friction between the table and floor?
The food calorie, equal to 4186 J, is a measure of how much energy is released when food is metabolized by the body. A Milo Bar contains 180 food calories per bar. (a) If a 70-kg hiker eats one Milo Bar, how high a mountain must he climb to “work off” the calories, assuming that all the food energy goes only into increasing gravitational potential energy? (b) If, as is typical, only 20% of the food calories go into mechanical energy, what would be the answer to part (a)? (NOTE: In this problem, we assume that 100% of the food calories that are eaten are absorbed and used by the body. This is actually not true. A person’s “metabolic efficiency” is the percentage of calories eaten that are actually used; the rest are eliminated by the body. Metabolic efficiency varies considerably from person to person.)
The total mass of a paratrooper - the person and all the gear - is 118kg. the paratrooper jumps out of an airplane. after the paratrooper opens up his parschute he quickly reaches a constant speed of 3.7m/s. what is the rate at which the potential energy of the paratrooper is converted to the internal energy of the atmosphere?

- A food calorie is a unit of energy such that 1 food calorie = 4184 J. This means that a person that burns energy with a power of 4184 W would burn one food calorie every second. A more typical human power rate is 90 W (called the basal metabolic rate). At this rate, how many calories are burned per second (or alternatively, how many seconds does it take to burn 1 calorie)?arrow_forwardA worker drives a 0.500 kg spike into a rail tie with a 2.50 kg sledgehammer. The hammer hits the spike with a speed of 65.0 m/s. If one-third of the hammer’s kinetic energy is converted to internal energy of the hammer and the spike, how much does the total internal energy increase?arrow_forwardThe total consumption of electrical energy in the United States is about 1.0 1019 joules per year. What is the average rate of electrical energy consumption in watts? If the population of the United States is 300 million, what is the average rate of electrical energy consumption per person? The sun transfers energy to the earth by radiation at a rate of approximately 1.0 kW per square meter of surface. If this energy could be collected and converted to electrical energy with 40 % efficiency, how great an area (in square kilometers) would be required to collect the electrical energy used by the United States?arrow_forward

- A 60-kg hiker wishes to climb to the summit of Mt. Ogden, an ascent of 5000 vertical feet (1500 m). a.) Assuming that she is 25% efficient at converting chemical energy from food into mechanical work, and that essentially all the mechanical work is used to climb vertically, roughly how many bowls of corn flakes (standard serving size 1 ounce, 100 kilocalories) should the hiker eat before setting out?(b) As the hiker climbs the mountain, three-quarters of the energy from the corn flakes is converted to thermal energy. Ifthere were no way to dissipate this energy, by how many degrees would her body temperature increase?(c) In fact, the extra energy does not warm the hiker's body significantly; instead, it goes (mostly) into evaporating water from her skin. How many liters of water should she drink during the hike to replace the lost fluids? (At 25°C, a reasonable temperature to assume, the latent heat of vaporization of water is 580 cal/g, 8% more than at 100°C.)arrow_forwardA sleeping 68 kg man has a metabolic power of 75 W .
