For adults, the RDA of the amino acid lysine is 12 mg per kg of body weight. How many grams per day should a 78kg adult receive?

1 answer:

6 0

RDA stands for Recommended Daily Allowance. To determine the amount needed of a certain adult per day, we simply multiply the mass of the adult to the value of RDA. For this case, we do as follows:

Daily requirement = 12 mg/kg ( 78 kg ) = 936 mg of lysine = 936000 g

A 0.473 kg ice puck, moving east with a speed of 2.76 m/s, has a head-on collision with a 0.819 kg puck initially at rest. Assum

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

The final speed of puck 1 is 0.739 m/s towards west and puck 2 is 2.02 m/s towards east .

Explanation:

Let us consider east as positive direction and west as negative direction .

Given

mass of puck 1 , $m_1= 0.473 kg$

mass of puck 2 , $m_2= 0.819 kg$

initial speed of puck 1 , $u_1=2.76\frac{m}{s}$

initial speed of puck 2 , $u_2=0.00\frac{m}{s}$

Final speed of puck 1 and puck 2 be $v_1\, and\, v_2$ respectively

Apply conservation of linear momentum

$m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2$

=> $0.473\times 2.76+0.0=0.473\times v_1+0.819\times v_2$

=> $1.594=0.5775\times v_1+ v_2$ -----(A)

Since collision is perfectly elastic , coefficient restitution e=1

$u_2-u_1=v_1-v_2$

=> $0-2.76=v_1-v_2$ ------(B)

From equation (A) and (B)

$v_1=-0.739\frac{m}{s}$

and $v_2=2.02\frac{m}{s}$

Thus the final speed of puck 1 is 0.739 m/s towards west and puck 2 is 2.02 m/s towards east .

Julianne went to a restaurant to have a taste of her favorite fried chicken and spaghetti. She drove 2 km, east and then 8.5 km,

GREYUIT [131]

Julianne’s displacement from her origin is equal to 10.015 kilometers.

Given the following data:

Distance A = 2 km, East.

Distance B = 8.5 km, Northeast.

To calculate Julianne’s displacement from her origin:

<h3>How to calculate displacement.</h3>

We would denote the two (2) unit vectors along the East and Northeast directions by i and j respectively.

Note: Northeast is at angle of 45° with the East.

In terms of vectors, the distances becomes:

Distance A = 2i

$Distance\;B=8.5 [(cos 45i + sin 45j)]\\\\Distance\;B=(\frac{8.5}{\sqrt{2} } i \;+\;\frac{8.5}{\sqrt{2} } j)$

For the resultant displacement:

$D^2 = [(2+\frac{8.5}{\sqrt{2} } )^2+ (\frac{8.5}{\sqrt{2} } )^2\\\\D =\sqrt{[(2+\frac{8.5}{\sqrt{2} } )^2+ (\frac{8.5}{\sqrt{2} } )^2} \\\\D=2+\frac{8.5}{\sqrt{2} } + \frac{8.5}{\sqrt{2} }$
