Serway & Jewett β The First Law of Thermodynamics: Problem 39.
An iron plate is held against an iron wheel so that a kinetic friction force of 50.0 N acts between the two pieces of metal. The relative speed at which the two surfaces slide over each other is 40.0 m/s. (a) Calculate the rate at which mechanical energy is converted to internal energy. (b) The plate and the wheel each have a mass of 5.00 kg, and each receives 50.0% of the internal energy. If the system is run as described for 10.0 s and each object is then allowed to reach a uniform internal temperature, what is the resultant temperature increase?
π Solution Approach
Given: 50.0 N, 40.0 m, 5.00 kg
Find: (a) Calculate the rate at which mechanical energy is converted t; (b) The plate and the wheel each have a mass of 5
