Chapter 1: Q97PP (page 1)

Energy of locomotion. On flat ground, a 70 - kg person requires about 300 W of metabolic power to walk at a steady pace of 5 -km/hr (1.4 m/s). Using the same metabolic power output, that person can bicycle over the same ground at 15 - km/h.

How many times greater is the kinetic energy of the person when biking than when walking? Ignore the mass of the bike. (a) 1.7; (b) 3; (c) 8; (d) 9

Short Answer

Expert verified

The correct answer is option (d).

Step by step solution

01

Identification of given data

The mass of the person is m = 70 kg.

The velocity of walking is vwalking=5km/h.

The velocity of cycling is vcycling=15km/h.

The metabolic power is P = 300 W.

02

Concept/Significance of kinetic energy

The expression of kinetic energy is given by,

K=12mv2

Here, m is the mass of the body, and v is velocity of the body.

03

Determine the number of times the kinetic energy of the person when biking than when walking

Take the ratio of kinetic energy of a person in cycling and walking.

KcyclingKcycling=12mv2cycling12mv2walking=v2cyclingv2walking=15km/h25km/h2=9

Simplify further.

Kcycling=9Kwalking

Therefore, the kinetic energy of a person in cycling is times greater than walking.

Thus, the options (a), (b), and (c) are incorrect.

Hence, the correct answer is option (d).

You decide to visit Santa Claus at the north pole to put in a good word about your splendid behavior throughout the year. While there, you notice that the elf Sneezy, when hanging from a rope, produces a tension of 395.0鈥�Nin the rope. If Sneezy hangs from a similar rope while delivering presents at the earth鈥檚 equator, what will the tension in it be? (Recall that the earth is rotating about an axis through its north and south poles.) Consult Appendix F and start with a free-body diagram of Sneezy at the equator.

A Simple Reaction-Time Test.A meter stick is held vertically above your hand, with the lower end between your thumb and first finger. When you see the meter stick released, you grab it with those two fingers. You can calculate your reaction time from the distance the meter stick falls, read directly from the point where your fingers grabbed it. (a) Derive a relationship for your reaction time in terms of this measured distance, d. (b) If the measured distance is 17.6 cm, what is your reaction time?
