A student with a mass of 65.5 kg runs up a flight of 18 stairs. Each of the steps has a height of 16.5 cm. The student was able

to reach the top of the stairs in 2.57 s while climbing it 1 stair at a time.
1. Determine the student’s body power

2. If the student changed the number of steps taken in each step (i.e. 2 at a time OR 3 at a time) but nothing else changed, would this change the power of the student? Explain.

3. A Big Mac meal from McDonalds has 4 853 440 J of energy (1160 calories!). Using your answer from number 1, determine how long it would take for you to convert all the energy in a Big Mac meal (if only running stairs at the same rate). Express your answer in minutes.

The power developed by the student is 756.9 J/s and remains the same if the student takes the same time to climb the stairs when climbing it in two's and three's.

<h3>What is power?</h3>

Power is the rate at work is done.

  • Power = work done/time
  • work done = mass × acceleration due to gravity × height

Work done = 65.5 × 10 × (18 × 0.165) = 1945.35 J

Power = 1945.35/2.57 = 756.9 J/s

If the student climbed the steps in two or three at a time, the power does not change if the time remains the same.

  • Time required = Energy/ power

The time required to convert the Big Mac meal from McDonalds = 4 853 440/756.9

Time required = 6412.26 seconds

Therefore, from the power developed by the student, it will take him 6412.26 seconds to convert all the energy in a Big Mac meal.

Water can dissolve almost anything in the universe
Elodia [21]

Answer:

No, its not possible for water to dissolve almost anything in the universe.

Explanation:

Solubility of a solute defines the ability of that solute to dissolve in a given solvent. It is defined as the maximum amount of solute dissolved in a solvent at equilibrium. The solution which results from dissolving this maximum amount is called a saturated solution, and one it has been reached, no more solute can be dissolved in it.

Different substances in the universe have diffferent solubilities in water, some very high (soluble) (eg. sugar and salt) and some very low (insoluble) (eg plastics). The substances that are able to form bonds with water (Hydrogen or Ionic) are more soluble than those who are not able to do so.

If the pendulum is brought on the moon where the gravitational acceleration is about g/6, approximately what will its period now
Andru [333]

Answer:

The new period will be √6 *T

Explanation:

period ,T=2π√(L/g)       ................equation 1

where T is the period on earth

gravitational acceleration on the moon is g/6

T1 = 2π√[L/(g/6)]

T1=2π√(6L/g)               ...............equation 2

divide equation 2 by 1

T1/T =2π√(6L/g)÷2π√(L/g)

T1/T =√(6L/L)

T1/T =√6

T1 = √6 *T

A 12.0-cm long cylindrical rod has a uniform cross-sectional area A = 5.00 cm2. However, its density increases linearly from 2.6
andriy [413]

Answer:

(a) The constants required describing the rod's density are B=2.6 and C=1.325.

(b) The mass of the road can be found using A\int_0^{12}\left(B+Cx)dx

Explanation:

(a) Since the density variation is linear and the coordinate x begins at the low-density end of the rod, we have a density given by

2.6\frac{g}{cm^3}+\frac{18.5\frac{g}{cm^3}-2.6\frac{g}{cm^3}}{12 cm}x = 2.6\frac{g}{cm^3}+1.325x\frac{g}{cm^2}

recalling that the coordinate x is measured in centimeters.

(b) The mass of the rod can be found by having into account the density, which is x-dependent, and the volume differential for the rod:

m=\int\rho dv=\int\left(B+Cx\right)Adx=5\int_0^{12}\left(2.6+1.325x\right)dx=126.6,

hence, the mass of the rod is 126.6 g.
