Did you think about this over Christmas? I did (-: Before Christmas a 65kg student consumes 2500 Cal each day and stays at the s

ame weight. For three days in a row while visiting her parents she eats 3500 Cal and, wanting to keep from gaining weight decides to "work off" the excess by jumping up and down at the Christmas tree. With each jump she accelerates to a speed of 3.2 m/s before leaving the ground. a) How high will she jump each jump? b) How many jumps must she do to keep her weight? Assume that the efficiency of the body in using energy is 25%. c) Do you suggest that is a reasonable way for the student not to gain weight over Christmas? d) Possible enhancement: What other way/ways would you suggest for the student to keep her weight?

Answer:

a)  Em = 332.8 J , b) # jump = 13, c)   It is reasonable since there are not too many jumps , d) lower the calories consumed

Explanation:

a) Let's use energy conservation

Initial. On the floor

             Em₀ = K = ½ m v²

Final. The highest point

             Emf = U = m g h

Energy is conserved

             Em₀ = Emf

             ½ m v² = m g h

             h = ½ v² / g

            h = ½ 3.2² /9.8

            h = 0.52 m

b) When he was at home he maintained his weight with 2500 cal / day. In his parents' house he consumes 3500 cal / day, the excess of calories is

            Q = 3500 -2500 = 1000cal / day

Let's reduce this value to the SI system

             Q = 1000 cal (4,184 J / 1 cal) = 4186 J / day

Now the energy in each jump is

               Em = K = ½ m v²

               Em = ½ 65 3.2²

               Em = 332.8 J

They indicate that the body can only use 25% of this energy

              Em effec = 0.25 332.8 J

              Em effec = 83.2 J

This is the energy that burns the body

Let's use a Proportion Rule (rule of three), if a jump spends 83.2J how much jump it needs to spend 1046 J

              # jump = 1046 J (1 jump / 83.2 J)

              # jump = 12.6 jumps / day

              # jump = 13  

c) It is reasonable since there are not too many jumps

d) That some days consume more vegetables to lower the calories consumed

A technician is checking refrigerant system pressures. Both high- and low-side service ports are located on the A/C compressor.
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

Two major causes are outline bellow

1. The presence of air in the system

2. Clogged condenser

Explanation:

1. The presence of air in the system

One of the causes that have been established in relation to high compressor discharge pressure is the presence of air in the system. When this takes place, your best solution is to recharge the system.

2. Clogged condenser

Another is a clogged condenser in which case you will need to clean the condenser so that it will function properly. When you happen to spot that the discharge valve is closed and it is causing high discharge pressure on the compressor, you can solve that easily by opening the valve

Propose a hypothesis for how the position of the ball will affect the amount of its gravitational pull energy
Ray Of Light [21]

<em><u>throwing a ball up initially has a lot of kinetic energy because it is moving upwards ( kinetic energy is energy which a body possesses by virtue of being in motion.) this all then get converted to gravitational potential energy, and for a moment it is stationary before it begins to fall again.  by the time it has returned again, all the gravitational potential energy has turned back into kinetic.</u></em>

The engine of a 1520-kg automobile has a power rating of 75 kW. Determine the time required to accelerate this car from rest to
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

t=15.68 s

Explanation:

Given that

m = 1520 kg

P =75 KW

We know that

Power  ,P = F .v

F=force

v=velocity

v= 100 km/h

v=\dfrac{1000}{3600}\times 100\ m/s

v=27.77 m/s

75 x 1000  = F x 27.77

F= \dfrac{75000}{27.77}\ N

F= 2700.75 N

F= m a

m=mass

a=acceleration

2700.75 = 1520 x a

 a=1.77 m/s²

time t given as

v= u + a t

27.77 = 0 + 1.77 x t

t=15.68 s
