Kinetic Energy

[SammyInnit]

If kinetic energy is converted into thermal energy, how hard would you have to slap a chicken to cook it?

Try it.

Give it your full attention (limited as that may be).

Do not return until you've successfully cooked a chicken that way, and can report your findings.

So you don't know the answer.

Would it be a harder slap than one would need to apply to BAS to release a sense of humour?

17,500mph if you want it crispy 1,600 mph if you want it slow roast. You need to be going above the speed of sound so that you get some sort of shock wave.
If you then slowed to 500mph you could bung it in the freezer

Hang on while I stir my tea to warm it up...............

You would smash it to bits well before it was cooked!!..lol...and convert kinetic into sound

Strap it to Concorde nose,,,,150c at Mach 2!

I'd imagine so but there is a formula to work it out, believe it or not.

The specific heat of chicken, according to here, is 2720 Joules per kilogram-degree.

So, what temperature rise are you after and what does is weigh?

What does your arm weigh and are we assuming that all the kinetic energy is converted into heat in the chicken, rather than energy lost as sound/vibration/escaped heat/etc?

I'd guess about half the energy will be lost to heating up your hand in the impact.

edit: Also, the chicken will need to be clamped to a table or similar, otherwise we'll just be giving it it's own kinetic energy, rather than heat.

don't know if any of these answers help (or are correct)

Are you assuming the chicken retains 100% of its heat?

 

[big-all]

most off the energy used will be used up by the muscles to overcome drag from the arm
to accelerate and decelerate the arm
to overcome air resistance

how hard would you have to slap a chicken to cook it?

similarly , how long spanking a monkey ?
