In the winter activity of tubing, riders slide down snow covered slopes while sitting on large inflated rubber tubes. To get to the top of the slope, a rider and his tube, with a total mass of 70 kg, are pulled at a constant speed by a tow rope that maintains a constant tension of 350 N. Required:
How much thermal energy is created in the slope and the tube during the ascent of a 30-m-high, 120-m-long slope?

21420 J

Explanation:

Given that:

mass of the rider = 70 kg

the tension of the rope = 350 N

Using the concept of conservation of energy;

Work done = change in the Total energy ( ΔT.E)

where;

Work done (W) = ΔK.E + ΔP.E + ΔThermal Energy

Recall that the man proceeds with a constant speed, thus the change in K.E energy will be zero.

As such:

W  = ΔP.E + ΔThermal Energy

We can now say that:

The thermal energy = W - ΔP.E

here;

W = force × displacement

The thermal energy = (350 × 120) - (70 × 9.8 × 30)

= 42000 - 20580

= 21420 J

as we know our atmosphere or air have different levels. every level has other gasses, and every gas has another permeability. when the light comes from lower permeability to higher permeability, it changes its direction. so that means that when the light comes from the moon to the earth, it changes it's direction many more times. it basically means that the shape of the light part of the moon is changed on the earth.
