Cori uses 475 J of energy from her muscles to push a bar 1 m on a weight machine at the gym. Between the bar’s motion, the heat generated by the machine, and all other types of work done by the machine, J of output work will be done.

(a) assume the equation x = at^3 + bt describes the motion of a particular object, with x having the dimension of length and t having the dimension of time. determine the dimensions of the constants a and b. (use the following as necessary: l and t, where l is the unit of length and t is the unit of time.) (b) determine the dimensions of the derivative dx/dt = 3at^2 + b. (use the following as necessary: l and t, where l is the unit of length and t is the unit of time.)

Based on this activity, is kinetic energy always transformed into potential energy?

Thermal radiation gets its name because
