Chapter 8.3, Problem 8.4QQ

You are traveling along a freeway at 65 mi/h. Your car has kinetic energy. You suddenly skid to a stop because of congestion in traffic. Where is the kinetic energy your car once had? (a) It is all in internal energy in the road. (b) It is all in internal energy in the tires. (c) Some of it has transformed to internal energy and some of it transferred away by mechanical waves. (d) It is all transferred away from your car by various mechanisms.

The internal energy of a 5-kg suitcase starts at 150 kJ. The suitcase is mangled as it travels through the baggage handling equipment at the airport. During the process of travelling through the baggage-handling equipment, 10 kJ of work is done on the suitcase, and 8 kJ of heat is lost from the suitcase. What is the internal energy of the suitcase at the end of the process, in kJ? Neglect any change in kinetic or potential energy of the suitcase. Assume that the mass of the suitcase is unchanged. O 152 kJ O 30 kJ It is impossible to answer this question from the information provided. O It is possible to answer the question, but the correct answer is not among the ones listed. 148 kJ 168 kJ
You set your stationary bike on a high 80-NN friction-like resistive force and cycle for 30 minmin at a speed of 8.0 m/sm/s. Your body is 10%10% efficient at converting chemical energy in your body into mechanical work. What is your internal chemical energy change? How long must you bike to convert 2.8×105 JJ of chemical potential while staying at this speed? (This amount of energy equals the energy released by the body after eating three slices of bread.)
A 1600 kg car steadily accelerates from rest to 60 mi/hr over a 2.8 second time span. How much work is done on the car. The car's mechanical efficiency is 0.20. As the car drives, it gets hotter and it also heats up its environment. If we make the (overly simplistic) assumption that the half of the thermal energy goes out to the wider environment while the car is speeding up, Hint: You can use the mechanical efficiency to find the overall chemical energy used. Using what you found in the previous problem, you can find the total thermal energy produced and from that, plus the assumption about how that energy is distributed, you can calculate the heat transfer. what is the heat transfer from the car to the environment?
