Smaller mammals use proportionately more energy than larger mammals; that is, it takes more energy per gram to power a mouse tha

n a human. A typical mouse has a mass of 20 g and, at rest, needs to consume 3.0 Cal each day for basic body processes. If a 68 kg human used the same energy per kg of body mass as a mouse, how much energy would be needed each day?

Answer:

10,200 Cal. per day

Explanation:

The mouse consumes 3.0 Cal each day, and has a mass of 20 grams. We can use this data to obtain a ratio of energy consumption per mass

\frac{3.0 \ Cal}{20 g} = 0.15 \frac{Cal}{g}.

For the human, we need to convert the 68 kilograms to grams. We can do this with a conversion factor. We know that:

1 \ kg = 1000 \ g,

Now, we can divide by 1 kg on each side

\frac{1 \ kg}{1 \ kg} = \frac{1000 \ g}{1 \ kg},

1 = \frac{1000 \ g}{1 \ kg}.

Using this conversion factor, we can obtain the mass of the human in grams, instead of kilograms. First, lets take:

mass_{human} = 68 \ kg

We can multiply this mass for the conversion factor, we are allowed to do this, cause the conversion factor equals 1, and its adimensional

mass_{human} = 68 \ kg * \frac{1000 \ g}{1 \ kg}

mass_{human} = 68,000 g

Now that we know the mass of the human on grams, we can multiply for our ratio of energy consumption

68,000 \ g * 0.15 \frac{Cal}{g} = 10,200 \ Cal

So, we would need 10,200  Cal per day.

1.15) What distance will 650 joules of work move a box weighing 50 newtons?​
son4ous [18]

Answer:

The answer is 13 however make sure if they ask for a certain measurement like meter answer it by saying 13 meters.

Explanation:

This basically turns into basic algebra if you know the formula for work. The formula for work is W=F*d  

Here are the variables that you know 650J=50N*d so you need d.

All you do is divide 650J by 50N and you get a total of 13 (meters since I don't know what they want you to put it in).

A person just supports a mass of 20kg suspended from a rope.
Georgia [21]

Answer:

F = 200 N

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass suspended from the rope, m = 20 kg

We need to find the resultant force acting on the rope. The resultant force on the rope is equal to its weight such that,

F = mg

Where

g is acceleration due to gravity

Put all the values,

F = 20 kg × 10 m/s²

F = 200 N

So, the resultant force on the mass is 200 N.
