speed of the participants is given as

$v = 15 km/h$

$v = 15 \times \frac{1000 m}{3600s} = 4.2 m/s$

now the kinetic energy of the participant is given as

$KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

$KE = \frac{1}{2}68\times 4.2^2$

$KE = 590.3 J$

As we know that

1 calorie = 4.2 J

$KE = 590.3\times \frac{1 cal}{4.2J} = 141.1 Cal$

so here 230 Calorie is provided by 1 bar

bar required is

$N = \frac{141.1}{230} = 0.61 bars$

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

<em>Let's recall </em><em>Kinetic Energy</em><em> Formula as follows:</em>

$\large {\boxed{Ek = \frac{1}{2}mv^2} }$

Ek = Kinetic Energy ( Joule )

m = mass of the object ( kg )

v = speed of the object ( m/s )

Let us now tackle the problem !

$\texttt{ }$

<u>Given:</u>

speed of participant = v = 15 km/h = 4¹/₆ m/s

mass of participant = m = 68 kg

<u>Asked:</u>

kinetic energy = Ek = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

<em>Firstly , we will calculate total kinetic energy of the participant:</em>

$Ek = \frac{1}{2}m(v')^2$

$Ek = \frac{1}{2} \times 68 \times (4\frac{1}{6})^2$

$Ek = 590 \frac{5}{18} \texttt{ J}$

$Ek \approx 141 \texttt{ Calories}$

$\texttt{ }$

<em>Next , we could find number of </em><em>230 Calorie Energy Bars</em><em> as follows:</em>

$N = Ek / 230$

$N = 141 / 230$

$N \approx 0.61$

<h3>Conclusion:</h3>

1 energy bar would be required to fuel such a run for a 68 kg athlete

The curvature of the helix r(t)equals(a cosine t )iplus(a sine t )jplusbt k (a,bgreater than or equals0) is kappaequalsStartF

4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

$\kappa = \frac{1}{2 b}$

Explanation:

The equation for kappa ( κ) is

$\kappa = \frac{a}{a^2 + b^2}$

we can find the maximum of kappa for a given value of b using derivation.

As b is fixed, we can use kappa as a function of a

$\kappa (a) = \frac{a}{a^2 + b^2}$

Now, the conditions to find a maximum at $a_0$ are:

$\frac{d \kappa(a)}{da} \left | _{a=a_0} = 0$

$\frac{d^2\kappa(a)}{da^2} \left | _{a=a_0} < 0$

Taking the first derivative:

$\frac{d}{da} \kappa = \frac{d}{da} (\frac{a}{a^2 + b^2})$

$\frac{d}{da} \kappa = \frac{1}{a^2 + b^2} \frac{d}{da}(a)+ a * \frac{d}{da} (\frac{1}{a^2 + b^2} )$

$\frac{d}{da} \kappa = \frac{1}{a^2 + b^2} * 1 + a * (-1) (\frac{1}{(a^2 + b^2)^2} ) \frac{d}{da} (a^2+b^2)$

$\frac{d}{da} \kappa = \frac{1}{a^2 + b^2} * 1 - a (\frac{1}{(a^2 + b^2)^2} ) (2* a)$

$\frac{d}{da} \kappa = \frac{1}{a^2 + b^2} * 1 - 2 a^2 (\frac{1}{(a^2 + b^2)^2} )$

$\frac{d}{da} \kappa = \frac{a^2+b^2}{(a^2 + b^2)^2} - 2 a^2 (\frac{1}{(a^2 + b^2)^2} )$

$\frac{d}{da} \kappa = \frac{1}{(a^2 + b^2)^2} (a^2+b^2 - 2 a^2)$

$\frac{d}{da} \kappa = \frac{b^2 - a^2}{(a^2 + b^2)^2}$

This clearly will be zero when

$a^2 = b^2$

as both are greater (or equal) than zero, this implies

$a=b$

The second derivative is

$\frac{d^2}{da^2} \kappa = \frac{d}{da} (\frac{b^2 - a^2}{(a^2 + b^2)^2} )$

$\frac{d^2}{da^2} \kappa = \frac{1}{(a^2 + b^2)^2} \frac{d}{da} ( b^2 - a^2 ) + (b^2 - a^2) \frac{d}{da} ( \frac{1}{(a^2 + b^2)^2} )$

$\frac{d^2}{da^2} \kappa = \frac{1}{(a^2 + b^2)^2} ( -2 a ) + (b^2 - a^2) (-2) ( \frac{1}{(a^2 + b^2)^3} ) (2a)$

$\frac{d^2}{da^2} \kappa = \frac{-2 a}{(a^2 + b^2)^2} + (b^2 - a^2) (-2) ( \frac{1}{(a^2 + b^2)^3} ) (2a)$

We dcan skip solving the equation noting that, if a=b, then

$b^2 - a^2 = 0$

at this point, this give us only the first term

$\frac{d^2}{da^2} \kappa = \frac{- 2 a}{(a^2 + a^2)^2}$

if a is greater than zero, this means that the second derivative is negative, and the point is a minimum

the value of kappa is

$\kappa = \frac{b}{b^2 + b^2}$

$\kappa = \frac{b}{2* b^2}$

$\kappa = \frac{1}{2 b}$

What is kirchoff s law???

kolbaska11 [484]

There are two laws named for Kirchhoff. The both concern electrical circuits.
Here they are in my own words:

1). The sum of the voltage drops around any closed loop in a circuit is zero.

2). The sum of the currents at any single point in a circuit is zero.

Which term means the distance between two bridge supports?

Ad libitum [116K]

The best answer is b - span.

A span is the distance between two bridge supports The supports may be towers, columns, or even the wall of a canyon.

There are many kinds of bridges but they all fall into three types namely beam, arch and suspension. The major difference between these three kinds of bridges is the distance that each can cross in a single span.

For example, a modern beam bridge is likely to span a distance of 200 feet, a modern arch can span 800 or 1000feet, and a modern suspension bridge can span up to 7000ft.
