Jazz is a 172 lb athlete who exercised at 7.6 METs. At this workload, what is his energy expenditure in kcals/min.? Round to the

dezoksy [38]

Answer:

Energy expenditure in K cals/min = 10 K cals /min (approximately)

Explanation:

As we know

Energy expenditure in Kcal/min= METs x 3.5 x Body weight (kg) / 200

Given is METs=7.6

Weight of Jazz= 172lb=78.02kg

putting the values in formula,

Energy expenditure in K cals/min= 7.6 x 3.5 x 78.02 / 200

=10.38 K cals /min

=10 K cals /min (approximately)

Therefore, Energy expenditure in K cals/min by Jazz will be approximately 10 K cals /min

What force, in newtons, must you exert on the balloon with your hands to create a gauge pressure of 62.5 cm H2O, if you squeeze

yulyashka [42]

Answer:54.70 N

Explanation:

Given

Gauge Pressure of $62.5 cm of H_2O$

i.e. $h=62.5 cm =0.625 m$

Effective area $A=51 cm^2$

initial Pressure $= 1 atm=101.325 kPa$

Gauge Pressure $P=\rho gh$

$\rho =density\ of\ water =1000 kg/m^3$

$P_{gauge}=1000\times 9.8\times 0.625=5.937 kPa$

Force creates a pressure of $P_1$ which will be equal to Gauge Pressure

$P_1=\frac{F}{A}$

$P_1=P_{gauge}$

$\frac{F}{A}=5.937 kPa$

$F=5.937\times 51\times 10^{-4}\times 10^3$

$F=30.27 N$
