a college student produces about 100 kcal of heat per hour on the average what is the rate of energy production and joules
1 answer:
Given:
Amount of heat produced = 100 kcal per hour
Let's find the rate of energy production in joules.
We know that:
1 calorie = 4.184 Joules
1 kcal = 4.184 Joules
To find the rate of energy production in Joules, we have:
Therefore, the rate of energy production in joules is 418.4 kJ/h which is equivalent to 418400 Joules
ANSWER:
418.4 kJ/h

Answer:
<u>The pendulum bob swing past the mean position because:</u>
When a pendulum's bob is accelerating at its extreme position its velocity is zero. Due to the restoring toque the bob starts to accelerates towards its mean postion. The maximum acceleration of the pendulum's bob is and the the acceleration decreases as
towards the mean position.
The acceleration at the mean position becomes zero but the velocity remains maximum. Hence the bob continues to move and does not stops.Thus it can summarised as the force decreases ,acceleration decreases and velocity increases at slow rate.
