A 3.0 × 10-3 kg copper penny drops a distance of 50.0 m to the ground. If 65 percent of the initial potential energy goes into increasing the internal energy of the penny, determine the magnitude of that increase.
A student evaluates a weight loss program by calculating the number of times she would need to climb a 13.0 m high flight of steps in order to
lose one pound (0.45 kg) of fat. Metabolizing 1.00 kg of fat can release 3.77 x 10'J of chemical energy and the body can convert about
21.8% of this into mechanical energy (the rest goes into internal energy.)
HINT
(a) How much mechanical energy (in J) can the body produce from 0.450 kg of fat?
(b) How many trips up the flight of steps are required for the 70.0 kg student to lose 0.450 kg of fat? Ignore the relatively small amount of
energy required to return down the stairs.

- Using data from Table 7.5, calculate the daily energy needs of a person who sleeps for 7.00 h, walks for 2.00 h, attends classes for 4.00 h, cycles for 2.00 h, sits relaxed for 3.00 h, and studies for 6.00 h. (Studying consumes energy at the same rate as sitting in class.)arrow_forwardWhen jogging at 13 km/h on a level surface, a 70-kg man uses energy at a rate of approximately 850 W. Using the facts that the “human engine” is approximately 25 efficient, determine the rate at which this man uses energy when jogging up a 5.0 slope at this same speed. Assume that the frictional retarding force is the same in both cases.arrow_forwardA ball of clay falls freely to the hard floor. It does not bounce noticeably, and it very quickly comes to rest.

(c) It has been transferred into the ball by heat. (d) It is in the ball and floor (and walls) as energy of invisible molecular motion. (e) Most of it went into sound.arrow_forward

Could this heating be a problem? Suppose a 65 kg cyclist with a 15 kg bike is descending Trail Ridge Road in Rocky Mountain National Park, going down a 7.0% grade and thus losing 7.0 m in height for every 100 m oftravel along the road.
