Chapter 7: Q6CP (page 299)

An electric hot plate raises its own internal energy and the internal energy of a cup of water by 8000J, and there is at the same time 1000Jtransferred to the cooler air (that is,Q=1000J ). How much energy was transferred to the hot plate in the form of electricity?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The amount of energy that was transferred to the hot plate in the form of electricity is 9000 J.

Step by step solution

01

Equation for transferred energy

Change in energy is∆Esys=8000Jand the transferred energy due to temperature difference is Q=-1000 J.

The formula to be used in getting the change in energy∆Esys=Q+Wwhere, Qis the Transferred energy due to temperature difference,Wis the mechanical energy transfer.

Solve the equation of change in energyfor W .

W=∆Esys-Q

02

Calculation for transferred energy

Substitute the values to the derived equation then solve.

W=∆Esys-Q=8000J-1000J=9000J

Therefore, the transferred energy to the hot plate is 9000J.

You can observe the main effects of resonance with very simple experiments. Hold a spring vertically with a mass suspended at the other end, and observe the frequency of “free” oscillations with your hand kept still. Then stop the oscillations, and move your hand extremely slowly up and down in a kind of slow sinusoidal motion. You will see that the mass moves up and down with the same very low frequency. (a) How does the amplitude (plus or minus displacement from the center location) of the mass compare with the amplitude of your hand? (Notice that the phase shift of the oscillation is 0◦; the mass moves up when your hand moves up.) (b) Next move your hand up and down at a significantly higher frequency than the free-oscillation frequency. How does the amplitude of the mass compare to the amplitude of your hand? (Notice that the phase shift of the oscillation is 180◦; the mass moves down when your hand moves up.) (c) Finally, move your hand up and down at the free-oscillation frequency. How does the amplitude of the mass compare with the amplitude of your hand? (It is hard to observe, but the phase shift of the oscillation is 90◦; the mass is at the midpoint of its travel when your hand is at its maximum height.) (d) Change the system in some way so as to increase the air resistance significantly. For example, attach a piece of paper to increase drag. At the free-oscillation frequency, how does this affect the size of the response? A strong dependence of the amplitude and phase shift of the system to the driving frequency is called resonance.

8.0×1020kgA package of mass 9kgsits on an airless asteroid of massand radius 8.7×105m. We want to launch the package in such a way that it will never come back, and when it is very far from the asteroid it will be traveling with speed 226 m/s. We have a large and powerful spring whose stiffness is 2.8×105N/m. How much must we compress the spring?

A box with its contents has a total mass of 36 kg. It is dropped from a very high building. (a) After reaching terminal speed, what is the magnitude of the air resistance force acting upward on the falling box? (b) The box survived the fall and is returned to the top of the building. More objects are put into the box, and the box with its contents now has a total mass of 71 kg. The box is dropped, and it reaches a higher terminal speed than before. After reaching terminal speed, what is the magnitude of the air resistance force acting upward on the falling box? (The fact that the heavier object reaches a higher terminal speed shows that the air resistance force increases with increasing speed.)

Figure 7.49 is a potential energy curve for the interaction of two neutral toms. The two-atom system is in a vibrational state indicated by the green horizontal line.

  2. What minimum energy must be supplied to cause these two atoms to separate?
  3. In some cases, when r is large, the interatomic potential energy can be expressed approximately as . For large r, what is the algebraic form of the magnitude of the force the two atoms exert on each other in this case?
