Eddie and Val observed the picture of an athlete running in a race. A large group of runners participate in a race.

Eddie stated the picture shows potential energy being transformed to kinetic energy. Val stated that it shows chemical energy being transformed to mechanical energy. Which best explains who is correct?

Only Eddie is correct because the picture does not show a transformation that starts with chemical energy.
Only Eddie is correct because the picture does not show a transformation that ends with mechanical energy.
Both Eddie and Val are correct because chemical energy is a type of potential energy and mechanical energy includes kinetic energy.
Both Eddie and Val are correct because chemical energy is a type of kinetic energy and mechanical energy includes potential energy.

Na food processing facility, a spherical container of inner radius r1 5 40 cm, outer radius r2 5 41 cm, and ther- mal conductivity k 5 1.5 w/m · k is used to store hot water and to keep it at 100°c at all times. to accomplish this, the outer surface of the container is wrapped with a 800-w electric strip heater and then insulated. the temperature of the inner surface of the container is observed to be nearly 120°c at all times. as- suming 10 percent of the heat generated in the heater is lost through the insulation, (a) express the differential equation and the boundary conditions for steady one-dimensional heat conduction through the container, (b) obtain a relation for the variation of temperature in the container material by solving the differential equation, and (c) evaluate the outer surface tempera- ture of the container. also determine how much water at 100°c this tank can supply steadily if the cold water enters at 20°c.
