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

A toy car is given an initial velocity of 5.0 m/s and experiences a constant acceleration of 2.0 m/s656-03-02-00-00_files/i02900
Whitepunk [10]
It would be 17 m/s

If we use

V2 = V1 + a*t
Sub in 5 for v1
2m/s*2 for a
And
6 for t
That should give you the answer.

A toy cannon launches a 46-g golf ball straight up into the air with a kinetic energy of 6.8 J. What must the
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer : The correct option is, (C) 17 m/s

Explanation :

Formula used :

K.E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where,

K.E = kinetic energy = 6.8 J

m = mass of object = 46 g = 0.046 kg    (1 kg = 1000 g)

v = velocity

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

K.E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

6.8J=\frac{1}{2}\times 0.046kg\times v^2

6.8kg.m^2/s^2=\frac{1}{2}\times 0.046kg\times v^2

v=17.19m/s\approx 17m/s

Therefore, the ball's velocity be as it leaves the cannon is, 17 m/s

What are gamma rays and what are its uses??<br>​
sukhopar [10]

"Gamma rays" is the name that we call the shortest of all electromagnetic waves.  They're shorter than radio waves, microwaves, infrared waves, heat waves, visible light waves, ultraviolet waves, and X-rays.  They extend all the way down to waves that are as short as the distance across an atom.

Being so short, they carry lots of energy.  They can penetrate many materials, and they can damage living cells and DNA.  They're dangerous.

The sun puts out a lot of gamma radiation.  The atmosphere (air) filters out a lot of it, otherwise there couldn't even be any life on Earth.  

As soon as astronauts fly out of the atmosphere, they need a lot of shielding from gamma rays.

You know the precautions we take when we're around X-rays.  The same precautions apply around gamma rays, only a lot more so.

It's only in the past several years that we've learned how to MAKE gamma rays without blowing things up.  Also, how to control them, and how to use them for medical and industrial applications.
