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

คลื่นกลเกิดขึ้นได้อย่างไร
Feliz [49]

Mechanical waves are oscillation of matter, they are important because they all transfer energy from one place to another. There are 2 types of mechanical waves. A transverse wave where the particles vibrate perpendicular to the direction of energy travel and a longitudinal wave where particle vibrations are parallel to the direction of the energy transfer.


I hope it helps, Regards.

Can the big bang's sound still be heard?
AleksandrR [38]
There is no sound in space because there is no medium to move it. However i think the big bang can still been seen in the form of background radiation but i am unsure.

Why are high tides found simultaneously on opposite sides of earth?
dexar [7]

Explanation:

Why are high tides found simultaneously on opposite sides of Earth? The tidal bulges occur on both sides of Earth that are aligned with the tide-generating body. The ocean water experiencing high tide rotates around Earth on a 12-hour cycle.

25. Explain why the speed of sound is faster in solids than in gases. Include two other factors Chapter 17 says the speed of sou
aksik [14]
In solids, particles or atom are very closely arranged compared to gasses. When these particles are arranged in such proximity, vibrations from sound are very easily transmitted from one particle to another in the solid. Hence, the sound vibrations can travel through the solid medium more quickly than through a gas medium.
Speed of sound also depends on its frequency and the wavelength.
