If the loss of 3500 kcal is equal to a loss of 1.0 lb, how many days will it take charles to lose 5.0 lb

We are missing an important piece of information needed to answer this question: the number of kcal Charles losses per day. However, we can come up with a general equation in which kcal/day is the only independent variable.

We know that it takes 3500 kcal to lose one pound. To lose 5 pounds, Charles needs to lose 5 x 3500 kcal = 17,500 kcal. 

To find how many days it takes Charles to lose 17,500 kcal (5 pounds), we must divide that amount by the number of kcal Charles loses per day. 
Here is the equation to calculate that number

Number of days= 17500 / (kcal per day)

If given calories, remember that 1000 calories = 1 kcal, and .001 kcal = 1 cal

T/F is the following statement true or false? a person with antisocial personality disorder typically must be older than the age
sukhopar [10]

A person with antisocial personality disorder typically must be older than the age of 18 years and have shown some evidence of a conduct disorder. This is true statement.

<h3>What is antisocial personality disorder?</h3>

All 10 personality disorders are categorized into three clusters by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM 5) (A, B, and C). One of the four cluster-B disorders, which also includes borderline, narcissistic, and histrionic disorders, is antisocial personality disorder.

Dramatic, emotional, and erratic relationships with people are common symptoms of all of these diseases. The only personality condition that cannot be diagnosed in childhood is antisocial personality disorder. To meet the diagnostic criteria for ASPD before the age of 18, the patient must have previously received a conduct disorder (CD) diagnosis by the time he or she became 15 years old.

Projectile A is launched horizontally at a speed of 20. Meters per second from the top of a cliff and strikes a level surface be
miv72 [106K]

consider the motion of projectile A in vertical direction :

v₀ = initial velocity of projectile A in vertical direction = 0 m/s         (since the projectile was launched horizontally)

a = acceleration of the projectile = g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

t = time of travel for projectile A = 3.0 seconds

Y = vertical displacement of projectile A = height of the cliff = h = ?

using the kinematics equation along the vertical direction as

Y = v₀ t + (0.5) a t²

h = (0) (3.0) + (0.5) (9.8) (3.0)²

h = 44.1 m

What average force is needed to accelerate a 7.00-gram pellet from rest to 155 m/s over a distance of 0.600 m along the barrel o
leonid [27]

Answer: The force needed is 140.22 Newtons.

Explanation:

The key assumption in this problem is that the acceleration is constant along the path of the barrel bringing the pellet from velocity 0 to 155 m/s. This means the velocity is linearly increasing in time.

The force exerted on the pellet is

F = m a

In order to calculate the acceleration, given the displacement d,  

d = \frac{1}{2}at^2\implies a=\frac{2d}{t^2}

we will need to determine the time t it took for the pellet to make the distance through the barrel of 0.6m. That time can be determined using the average velocity of the pellet while traveling through the barrel. Since the velocity is a linear function of time, as mentioned above, the average is easy to calculate as:

\overline{v}=\frac{1}{2}(v_{end}-v_{start})=\frac{1}{2}(155-0)\frac{m}{s}=77.5\frac{m}{s}

This value can be used to determine the time for the pellet through the barrel:

t = \frac{d}{\overline{v}}=\frac{0.6m}{77.5\frac{m}{s}}\approx0.00774s

Finally, we can use the above to calculate the force:

F = ma = m\frac{2d}{t^2} = 0.007kg\cdot \frac{2\cdot 0.6 m}{0.00774^2 s^2}\approx 140.22N
