Sara, who weighs 66 kg, is on a guilt trip after eating a 788-Calorie (788 kcal) breakfast of pancakes loaded with fruits, cream

, and syrup. She decides to work out before going to her weekly weight-watchers' meeting. If the height of a single stair is 12 cm, and her body is only 25% efficient in converting chemical energy to mechanical energy, determine the number of stairs Sara must climb to cancel out the Calories consumed.

Answer:

<em>Sara must climb 10609 stairs to burn this food.</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

Chemical energy content in Sara's body = 788 kCal x 4.184 = 3296.99 kJ = 3296990 J

her body is only 25% effective in converting chemical to mechanical energy, therefore,

available mechanical energy = 25% of 3296990 = 0.25 x 3296990 = <em>824247.5 J --this is equivalent to the work she must do to burn this stored energy</em>

flight of stairs = 12 cm = 0.12 m

Sara's mass m = 66 kg

Sara's weight = mg = mass x acceleration due to gravity 9.81 m/s^2

weight W = 66 x 9.81 = 647.46 N

work done = force x distance climbed d

putting in the necessary values, we have

824247.5 = 647.46 x d

d = 1273.05 m

the number of stairs Sara must climb is equal to the distance climbed divided by the height of a single stairs

number of stairs = 1273.05/0.12 = 10608.75 ≅ <em>10609 stairs</em>

If an electronin an electron beam experiences a downward force of 2.0x10^-14N while traveling in a magnetic field of 8.3x10^-2T
Anni [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Force is downward I.e negative y-axis

F = -2 × 10^-14 •j N

Magnetic field is westward, +x direction

B = 8.3 × 10^-2 •i T

Charge of an electron

q = 1.6 × 10^-19C

Velocity and it direction?

Force in a magnetic field is given as

F = q(V×B)

Angle between V and B is 270, check attachment

The cross product of velocity and magnetic field

F =qVB•Sin270

2 × 10^-14 = 1.6 × 10^-19 × V × 8.3 × 10^-2

Then,

v = 2 × 10^-14 / (1.6 × 10^-19 × 8.3 × 10^-2)

v = 1.51 × 10^6 m/s

Direction of the force

Let x be the direction of v

-F•j = v•x × B•i

From cross product

We know that

i×j = k, j×i = -k

j×k =i, k×j = -i

k×i = j, i×k = -j OR -k×i = -j

Comparing -k×i = -j to given problem

We notice that

-F•j = q ( -V•k × B×i)

So, the direction of V is negative z- direction

V = -1.51 × 10^6 •k m/s

Problem A spring was at its resting position where it is attached to a wall at its left side and a block at its right side as sh
puteri [66]

Answer:

F = 19.1 N

Explanation:

To find the force exerted by the string on the block you use the following formula:

F=kx  (1)  

k: spring constant = 95.5 N/m

x: displacement of the block from its equilibrium position = 0.200 m

you replace the values of k and x in the equation (1):

F=(95.5N/m)(0.200m)=19.1N

Hence, the force exterted on the block is 19.1 N

igomit [66]

Answer:

Pseudoscience

Explanation:

Predicting future events in a person's life based on the lines on the palm of the hand is an example of Pseudoscience. A pseudoscience is a false science that makes claims based on faulty or nonexistent scientific evidence and often characterized by contradictory, excessive claims, etc. These types of Pseudoscientific beliefs are common due to widespread "scientific illiteracy among different societies.
