A student evaluates a weight loss program by calculating the number of times he would need to climb a 14.0 m high flight of step

s in order to lose one pound (0.45 kg) of fat. Metabolizing 1.00 kg of fat can release 3.77 x 10' 1 of chemical energy and the body can convert about 22.0% of this into mechanical energy (the rest goes into internal energy.)(a) How much mechanical energy (in 3) can the body produce from 0.450 kg of fat?_______.(b) How many trips up the flight of steps are required for the 68.0 kg student to lose 0.450 kg of fat? Ignore the relatively small amount of energy required to return down the stairs_______trips.

Answer:

400 trips

Explanation:

Mechanical energy needed to climb 14 m by a man of 68 kg

= mgh

= 68 x 9.8 x 14

= 9330 J

1 Kg of fat releases 3.77 x 10⁷ J of energy

.45 kg of fat releases 1.6965 x 10⁷ J of energy

22% is converted into mechanical energy

so 22% of 1.6965 x 10⁷ J

= 3732.3 x 10³ J of mechanical energy will be available for mechanical work.

one trip of climbing of 14 m requires 9330 J of mechanical energy

no of such trip possible with given mechanical energy

= 3732.3 x 10³ / 9330

= 400 trips

How many butter, which has a usable energy content of 6.0 Cal/g (= 6000 cal/g), would be equivalent to the change in gravitation
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

175.96 g

Explanation:

Potential energy required for the man to climb 7.07 km = m g h.

= 64 x 9.8 x 7070

= 4.434 x 10⁶ J

= 4.434 X 10⁶ / 4.2 cals

= 1.0557 x 10⁶ cals

= 1.0557 x 10⁶ / 6000 g of butter

= 175.96 g of butter.

The gold foil experiment led to the conclusion that each atom in the foil was composed mostly of empty space because most alpha
katovenus [111]

Answer:

(1) passed through the foil

Explanation:

Ernest Rutherford conducted an experiment using an alpha particle emitter projected towards a gold foil and the gold foil was surrounded by a fluorescent screen which glows upon being struck by an alpha particle.

  • When the experiment was conducted he found that most of the alpha particles went away without any deflection (due to the empty space) glowing the fluorescent screen right at the point of from where they were emitted.
  • While a few were deflected at reflex angle because they were directed towards the center of the nucleus having the net effective charge as positive.
  • And some were acutely deflected due to the field effect of the positive charge of the proton inside the nucleus. All these  conclusions were made based upon the spot of glow on the fluorescent screen.
