Answer:

4 hrs

Explanation:

625 = 5000 (1/2)^n

625/5000 = 1/2^n

n = 3 half lives

3 half lives = 12 hours 1 half life = 4 hrs

11. A plow pushes 100 kg of snow with 300 N of force. How much is the pile of snow accelerated?

Fed [463]

Answer:

Explanation:

This is an application of Newton's second Law.

Formula

F = m * a

F = 300 N

m = 100 kg

a = ?

F = m * a

300N = 100 kg * a Divide by 100

300N/100kg = a

a = 3 m/sec^2

When exercising in the heat, which of the following hydration strategies is best for temperature regulation during an event (e.g

Olegator [25]

Answer:

Your question was incomplete so here is the complete question and answer.

Q. When exercising in the heat, which of the following hydration strategies is best for temperature regulation during an event (e.g., 10K race)

a) plain water

b) 5-7 percent glucose solution

c) Glucose polymer solution of 6-8 percent

d) There appears to be no difference among these different forms of hydration techniques relative to temperature regulation.

Ans. d) There appears to be no difference among these different forms of hydration techniques relative to temperature regulation.

Explanation:

Temperature Regulation is an important phenomenon for the person exposed to extreme hot conditions or weather. Exercising in hot conditions increase the body temperature. Greater and intense exercise, greater the production of heat. Then the heat dissipation takes place in the form of excessive sweating which results in dehydration. That was just the brief overview of temperature regulation. Above mentioned techniques are equally good hydration techniques so there is no difference at all. You can have a plain water or glucose solutions of above mentioned percentages.
