Where have you heard the word calorie before what do you think a calorie is

Physics
1 answer:
Ainat [17]3 years ago

Answer:

Explanation:

Calorie is a common term used to describe the amount of energy that can be derived from food products.

We quantify foods based on the calories of energy they possess. A high calorific food will yield more energy to the body and is often desired for intense physical activities.

Calorie is defined as the amount of heat energy needed to raise the temperature of 1g of a substance by 1°C.

Food calories slightly differs in definition and they imply the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of 1kg of water by 1°C.

Suppose an electron and a proton move at the same speed. which particle has a longer de broglie wavelength? suppose an electron
BARSIC [14]
When both particles, the electron and the proton move at the same speed, they may have differences with their de Broglie wavelength, the particle that would have a longer wavelength would be the proton since the wavelength is in direct proportionality with the mass of the particle.

four children pull on the same stuffed toy at the same time , yet there is no net force on the toy.how is this possible?
Kay [80]
There was no net force on the stuffed toy, because the kids might have the same strength,  The same force is on both sides of it.  T<span>hey cancel each other out. They exert a force on the stuffed toy equal in strength but opposite in direction. The forces are balanced and the stuffed toy does not move.  </span>Its like a game of tug-o-war, but you and I have the same strength. the rope would be still and not moving.

According to Newton's third law, if you push on a wall, the wall ?
Lady bird [3.3K]

The wall will push back, in exactly the opposite direction, and with
exactly the same size force.

That's why the net force on the palm of your hand is zero, and that
in turn is the reason that your hand doesn't accelerate.

If you keep increasing the strength of your push, then eventually you
exceed the force that the wall is capable of delivering.  Then the wall
crumbles and falls, your hand accelerates in the direction you're pushing,
and the crowd goes wild !
