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

ng up the water in your stomach. Could drinking ice water, then, substitute for exercise as a way to "burn calories?" Suppose you expend 286 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 286 kilocalories of metabolic energy? For comparison, the stomach can hold about 1 liter.

Answer:

7.72 Liters

Explanation:

normal body temperature = T_body =37° C

temperature of ice water = T_ice =0°c

specfic heat of water = c_{water} =4186J/kg.°C

if the person drink 1 liter of cold water mass of water is = m = 1.0kg

heat lost by body is Qwater =mc_{water} ΔT

                                           = mc{water} ( T_ice - T_body)

                                             = 1.0×4186× (0 -37)

                                             = -154.882 ×10^3 J

here negative sign indicates the energy lost by body in metabolic process energy expended due to brisk - hour long walk is Q_{walk} = 286 kilocalories

            = 286×4186J

so number of liters of ice water have to drink is

n×Q_{water} =Q_{walk}                                                                        n= Q_{walk}/ Q_{water}

= 286×4186J/154.882×10^3 J

 = 7.72 Liters

Answer:

V=7.73\ L

Explanation:

Given:

Initial temperature of water,  T_i=0^{\circ}C

final temperature of water, T_f=37^{\circ}C

energy spent in one hour of walk, 286\ kilocal=(286\times 4186)\ J

volumetric capacity of stomach, V=1\ L

<u>Now, let </u><u>m </u><u>be the mass of water at zero degree Celsius to be drank to spend 286 kilo-calories of energy.</u>

\therefore Q=m.c_w.\Delta T .....................................(1)

where:

m = mass of water

Q = heat energy

c_w=4186\ J\ (specific\ heat\ of\ water)

\Delta T= temperature difference

Putting values in the eq. (1):

286\times 4186=m\times 4186\times 37

m=7.73\ kg

Since water has a density of 1 kilogram per liter, therefore the volume of water will be:

V=7.73\ L

The output voltage of a power supply is normally distributed with mean 5 V and standard deviation 0.02 V. If the lower and upper
-BARSIC- [3]

To solve this problem we will apply the normal distribution, with which we will obtain the probability that the given event will occur. Concepts such as the mean and standard deviation will be present throughout the solution of the problem. Increasing or decreasing the average would change the location or center point of the curve. The change in the standard deviation would lead to the change in the dispersion of the data. As the standard deviation increases, the curve would become flatter.

Let X be the output voltage of power supply

X∼N (5,0.02^2)

A

The lower and upper specifications for voltage are 4.95 V and 5.05 V, respectively

P(4.95

P(4.95

P(4.95

P(4.95

P(4.95

Hence probability that a power supply selected at random will conform to the specifications on voltage is 0.9876

Explain the process of synaptic transmission, beginning with the neurotransmitters at the axon terminal of the presynaptic cell
nydimaria [60]

The synapse is actually the link between 2 neurons. Now when an action potential contacts the synaptic knob of a neuron, the voltage-gate calcium channels are unlocked, resulting in an influx of positively charged calcium ions into the cell. This makes the vesicles containing neurotransmitters, for example acetylcholine, to travel towards the pre-synaptic membrane. When the vesicle arrives at the membrane, the contents are released into the synaptic cleft by exocytosis. Neurotransmitters disperse across the space, down to its concentration gradient, up until it reaches the post-synaptic membrane, where it connects to the correct neuroreceptors. Connecting to the neuroreceptors results in depolarisation in the post-syanaptic neuron as voltage-gated sodium channels are also opened, and the positively charged sodium ions travel into the cell. When adequate neurotransmitters bind to neuroreceptors, the post-synaptic membrane overcame the threshold level of depolarisation and an action potential is made and the impulse is transmitted.

What is the frame of reference for a plane moving at 500 km/h?
RUDIKE [14]
The frame of reference is the rotating earth underneath the flight path of the plane, the rate of rotation of the earth is 1036 miles per hour, meaning that the pilot has to compensate this fact when landing the aircraft.

A 14-foot boat operating under oars after dark must show what color light to prevent a collision?
Tomtit [17]
<span>A "White" colored light must be shown by a 14-foot boat that is operating under oars after it is dark, in order to prevent a collision.

Boats which are less than 23 feet cannot exceed a maximum speed of 7 knots. They need to exhibit an all-around white light when it is sailing in the dark.

The other practicable sidelights can also be used instead of the white lights, when they are sailing in international waters.
