Human-Powered Flight Human-powered aircraft require a pilot to pedal, as in a bicycle, and produce a sustained power output of a

bout 0.30 hp. The Gossamer Albatross flew across the English Channel on June 12, 1979, in 2 h 49 min.
How many Snickers candy bars (280 Cal per bar) would the pilot have to consume to be "fueled up" for the flight? Note: The nutritional calorie, 1 Cal, is equivalent to 1000 calories (1000 cal) as defined in physics. In addition, the conversion factor between calories and joules is as follows: 1Cal = 1000 cal = 1kcal = 4186 J.

Answer:

# of Snickers bars 2

Explanation:

Power output= 0.30 HP

=0.3*746

= 0.30 HP (746 W=1.00 HP)

= 224 W

time required 2 h 49 m = 10140 seconds

Since power is work divided by time, then work is:

Work done by the jet = P*t

= 224 *(10140)

= 2.3 MJ (2.3 x 10^{6} J)

Converting MJ to Cal

2.3 MJ=549 Cal

# of Snickers bars = 549 Cal / 280 Cal

= 2.0 bars (rounded from 1.96)

Alika [10]

Answer:

The magnitude of the magnetic field is 7.49x10⁻⁶T

Explanation:

The magnetic field is:

B=(\frac{\mu i}{2\pi R^{2} } )r

Where

i = current = 3 A

R = radius = 2.4 cm = 0.024 m

r = distance = 0.72 cm = 7.2x10⁻³m

Replacing:

B=(\frac{4\pi x10^{-7} *3}{2\pi *0.024^{2} } )*7.2x10^{-3}= 7.49x10^{-6} T

A student rides her bicycle to school, which is 6 km north of her home. After school, she rides to the grocery store that is 2 k
Free_Kalibri [48]
The total distance traveled from home to the grocery store would be 8km.

Because both distances she traveled were in the same direction, north, both displacement and distance travel were equal.

If the student traveled in two different directions, such as north to the school and south to the grocery store, her distance traveled would be 8km but her displacement would only be 6km.

Suppose a conducting rod is 52 cm long and slides on a pair of rails at 2.75 m/s. What is the strength of the magnetic field in
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

5.6 Tesla

Explanation:

L = 52 cm = 0.52 m

V = 2.75 m/s

e = 8 V

Let B be tha magnitude of magnetic field. Use the formula for the motional emf

e = B × V × L

B = e / V L

B = 8 / (2.75 × 0.52)

B = 5.6 Tesla

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

 validate                                            

Explanation:

<u>Law of Conservation of energy</u>

According to the law of conservation of energy, energy of a body or a system gets transferred to another system as different energy. We cannot create energy nor we can destroy energy. Energy is always transformed into other forms of energy.

In the context, Joe noticed that the aquarium's temperature dropped during the night and he concluded that according to the law of conservation of energy, the energy of the aquarium in terms of thermal energy is being transferred to the surrounding air.

This is because the aquarium is considered to be an open system where energy can come in and move out.

Hence Joe's statement is valid.
