When you drink cold water, your body must expend metabolic energy in order to maintain normal body temperature (37° C) by warmin

g up the water in your stomach. Could drinking ice water, then, substitute for exercise as a way to "burn calories?" Suppose you expend 390 kilocalories during a brisk hour-long walk. How many liters of ice water (0° C) would you have to drink in order to use up 390 kilocalories of metabolic energy? For comparison, the stomach can hold about 1 liter.

Answer:

The number of liters of ice water is 11 L

Explanation:

Given data:

normal body temperature = 37°C

temperature of the ice water = 0°C

Cwater = specific heat of water = 4186 J/kg °C

Suppose the person drinks 1 L of cold water, then, the mass is 1 kg

The heat is:

$Q_{water} =mC_{water} (T_{ice} -T_{body} )=1*4186*(0-37)=-154882J$

The sign (-) indicates the energy lost by the metabolic process. If the Qwalk is 390 kilocalories, then the number of liters of ice water is equal to:

$n=\frac{Q_{walk} }{Q_{water} } =\frac{390*4186}{154882} =10.54=11L$

Two resistors R1 = 3 Ω and R2 = 6 Ω are connected in parallel. What is the net resistance in the circuit?

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

"2Ω" is the net resistance in the circuit.

Explanation:

The given resistors are:

R1 = 3Ω

R2 = 6Ω

The net resistance will be:

⇒ $\frac{1}{R_{net}} =\frac{1}{R_1} +\frac{1}{R_2}$

On substituting the values, we get

⇒ $\frac{1}{R_{net}} =\frac{1}{3} +\frac{1}{6}$

On taking L.C.M, we get

⇒ $\frac{1}{R_{net}} =\frac{2+1}{6}$

⇒ $\frac{1}{R_{net}} =\frac{3}{6}$

⇒ $\frac{1}{R_{net}} =\frac{1}{2}$

On applying cross-multiplication, we get

⇒ $R_{net}=2 \Omega$

Harry and ron set up this experiment with a glider, whose mass they have measured to be 565 g, and seven washers hanging from th

svetlana [45]

Let's call $m=565~g=0.565~kg$ the mass of the glider and $m_w=7\cdot12~g =84~g=0.084~kg$ the total mass of the seven washers hanging from the string.
The net force on the system is given by the weight of the hanging washers:
$F_{net} = m_w g$
For Newton's second law, this net force is equal to the product between the total mass of the system (which is $m+m_w$ ) and the acceleration a:
$F_{net}=(m+m_w)a$
So, if we equalize the two equations, we get
$m_w g = (m+m_w)a$
and from this we can find the acceleration:
$a= \frac{m_w g}{(m+m_w)} = \frac{0.084~kg \cdot 9.81~m/s^2}{(0.565~kg+0.084~kg)}=1.27~m/s^2$

A right-circular cylindrical tank of height 8 ft and radius 4 ft is laying horizontally and is full of fuel weighing 52 lb/ft3

tresset_1 [31]

Given:

Height of tank = 8 ft

and we need to pump fuel weighing 52 lb/ $ft^{3}$ to a height of 13 ft above the tank top

Solution:

Total height = 8+13 =21 ft

pumping dist = 21 - y

Area of cross-section = $\pi r^{2}$ = $\pi 4^{2}$ =16 $\pi$ $ft^{2}$

Now,

Work done required = $\int_{0}^{8} 52\times 16\pi (21 - y)dy$

= $832\pi \int_{0}^{8} (21 - y)dy$

= 832 $\pi($ $[ 21y ]_{0}^{8} - [\frac{y^{2}}{2}]_{0}^{8}\\$ )

= 113152 $\pi$ = 355477 ft-lb

Therefore work required to pump the fuel is 355477 ft-lb

A weightlifter presses a 400 n weight 0.5 m over his head in 2 seconds, what is the power of the weight lifter

Scrat [10]

There are two ways to solve this problem. First we write the given.

Given: Force F = 400 N; Height h = 0.5 m; Time t = 2 s

Formula: P = W/t; but Work W = Force x distance or W = f x d

Weight is also a Force, therefore: W = mg, solve for Mass m = ?

m = w/g m = 400 N/9.8 m/s² m = 40.82 Kg

P = W/t = F x d/t = mgh/t P = (40.82 Kg)(9.8 m/s²)/2 s

P = 100 J/s or 100 Watts
