Chapter 7: Q17 CQ (page 259)

List the energy conversions that occur when riding a bicycle.

Short Answer

Expert verified

When a rider is riding the bicycle, he uses his muscular energy to push the pedals of the bicycle. While pedaling muscular energy is converted into kinetic energy.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1: Definition of Concepts

Conversion of energy:Energy cannot be created or destroyed; it can only be transformed from one form to another.

02

Explain the energy conversions that occur when riding a bicycle

When a rider is riding the bicycle, he uses his muscular energy to push the pedals of the bicycle. While pedaling muscular energy is converted into rotational kinetic energy which is transferred to the wheels of the bicycle due to which the bicycle moves forwards.

Therefore, the bicycle and rider both have kinetic energy.

Jogging on hard surfaces with insufficiently padded shoes produces large forces in the feet and legs.

(a) Calculate the magnitude of the force needed to stop the downward motion of a jogger鈥檚 leg, if his leg has a mass of 13.0 kg, a speed of 6.00 m/s, and stops in a distance of 1.50 cm. (Be certain to include the weight of the 75.0-kg jogger鈥檚 body.)

(b) Compare this force with the weight of the jogger.

A 75.0-kg cross-country skier is climbing a 3.0潞 slope at a constant speed of 2.00 m/s and encounters air resistance of 25.0 N. Find his power output for work done against the gravitational force and air resistance.

(b) What average force does he exert backward on the snow to accomplish this?

(c) If he continues to exert this force and to experience the same air resistance when he reaches a level area, how long will it take him to reach a velocity of 10.0 m/s?

Using values from Table 7.1, how many DNA molecules could be broken by the energy carried by a single electron in the beam of an old-fashioned TV tube? (These electrons were not dangerous in themselves, but they did create dangerous x rays. Later model tube TVs had shielding that absorbed x rays before they escaped and exposed viewers.)

a) Calculate the work done on a 1500-kg elevator car by its cable to lift it 40.0 m at constant speed, assuming friction averages 100 N. b) What is the work done on the lift by the gravitational force in this process? c) What is the total work done on the lift?

Does the work you do on a book when you lift it onto a shelf depend on the path taken? On the time taken? On the height of the shelf? On the mass of the book?
