Problem 5PE Rubbing your hands together warms them by converting work into thermal energy. If a woman rubs her hands back and forth for a total of 20 rubs, at a distance of 7.50 cm per rub, and with an average frictional force of 40.0 N, what is the temperature increase? The mass of tissues warmed

Physics: Principles with Applications 6
To get a flat, uniform cylindrical satellite spinning at the correct rate, engineers fire four tangential rockets as shown in Fig. 8-44. If the satellite has a mass of 3600 kg and a radius of 4.0 m, what is the required steady force of each rocket if the satellite is to reach 32rpm in 5.0 min?
