Chapter 1: Q74P (page 199)

You and your bicycle have combined mass 80.0 kg. When you reach the base of a bridge, you are traveling along the road at 5.00 m/s (Fig. P6.74). At the top of the bridge, you have climbed a vertical distance of 5.20 m and slowed to 1.50 m/s. Ignore work done by friction and any inefficiency in the bike or your legs. (a) What is the total work done on you and your bicycle when you go from the base to the top of the bridge?(b) How much work have you done with the force you apply to the pedals?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The work done on the person and the bicycle is-910J.
  2. The work done by the person on the pedals is 3.17脳103J.

Step by step solution

01

Conservation of Energy

According to the law of conservation of energy, in a process the total energy remains conserved, it transforms from one form of energy to another form of energy.

02

Given data

The combined mass of the person and bicycle is,m=80kg

The initial velocity of the bicycle is,v=5.0m/s

The vertical distance climbed by the bicycle is, h=5.20m

The final velocity of the bicycle is, vf=150m/s

03

(a)Find the total work done on the person and the bicycle

Work done is,

W=K2-K1=12mvf2-12mv2=1280kg1.50m/s2-5.0m/s2=-910J

Hence, the work done on the person and the bicycle is -910J.

04

(b) Find the work done by the person on the pedals

Work done is,

Wtot=K2-K1+mgh=12mvf2-12mv2+mgh=1280kg1.50m/s2-5.0m/s2+80kg9.8m/s25.20m=3.17脳103J

Hence, the work done by the person on the pedals is 3.17脳103J.

For a spherical planet with mass M, volume V, and radius R,derive an expression for the acceleration due to gravity at the planet鈥檚 surface, g, in terms of the average density of the planet, 蚁=M/V, and the planet鈥檚 diameter, D=2R. The table gives the values of Dand gfor the eight major planets:

(a) Treat the planets as spheres. Your equation for as a function of and shows that if the average density of the planets is constant, a graph of versus will be well represented by a straight line. Graph as a function of for the eight major planets. What does the graph tell you about the variation in average density? (b) Calculate the average density for each major planet. List the planets in order of decreasing density, and give the calculated average density of each. (c) The earth is not a uniform sphere and has greater density near its center. It is reasonable to assume this might be true for the other planets. Discuss the effect this nonuniformity has on your analysis. (d) If Saturn had the same average density as the earth, what would be the value of at Saturn鈥檚 surface?

Planet Vulcan.Suppose that a planet were discovered between the sun and Mercury, with a circular orbit of radius equal to 2/3 of the average orbit radius of Mercury. What would be the orbital period of such a planet? (Such a planet was once postulated, in part to explain the precession of Mercury鈥檚 orbit. It was even given the name Vulcan, although we now have no evidence that it actually exists. Mercury鈥檚 precession has been explained by general relativity.)

A cylindrical bucket, open at the top, is 25.0 cm high and 10.0 cm in diameter. A circular hole with a cross-sectional area 1.50 cm2 is cut in the center of the bottom of the bucket. Water flows into the bucket from a tube above it at the rate of 2.40 x 10-4m3/s. How high will the water in the bucket rise?

In Wagner鈥檚 opera Das Rheingold,the goddess Freia is ransomed for a pile of gold just tall enough and wide enough to hide her from sight. Estimate the monetary value of this pile. The density of gold is 19.3 g/cm3, and take its value to be about $10 per gram.

In March 2006, two small satellites were discovered orbiting Pluto, one at a distance of 48,000 km and the other at 64,000 km. Pluto already was known to have a large satellite Charon, orbiting at 19,600 km with an orbital period of 6.39 days. Assuming that the satellites do not affect each other, find the orbital periods of the two small satellites withoutusing the mass of Pluto.
