The food calorie, equal to 4186 J, is a measure of how much energy is released when food is metabolized by the body. A certain b

rand of fruit-and-cereal bar contains 150 food calories per bar. Part A If a 68.0 kg hiker eats one of these bars, how high a mountain must he climb to "work off" the calories, assuming that all the food energy goes only into increasing gravitational potential energy?

Answer:

The hiker has to climb 941.26 to ''work off'' the calories.

Explanation:

Let's first find out how much energy the hiker gets from 150 food calories.

This is:

Energy = 150 * 4186

Energy = 627.9 kJ

To burn all of this off, we set it equal to the gravitational potential energy, and then solve for the height.

This is:

Gravitational Potential Energy (G.P.E) = 629700

G.P.E = mass * gravity * height

Thus,

mass * gravity * height = 629700

68 * 9.81 * height = 629700

height = 941.26 meters

Each year, an average person in the United States is exposed to a radiation level of _____.
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is 0,2 rems

Explanation:

People are exposed to natural sources of radiation all the time. According to recent estimates, the average person in the United States receives an effective dose of approximately 3 mSv per year of natural radiation, which is equivalent to 0.3 rems. This amount includes cosmic radiation from outer space and is average because it varies depending on the region people are in.

The amount of radiation for a chest x-ray of an adult (0.01 rems) is approximately equal to 10 days of natural radiation to which we are all exposed every day.

Have a nice day!

Power is the rate at which energy is transformed. A person is limited in the total work he or she can do only by the total energ
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

Power is the rate at which energy is transformed.

The SI unit of power is the watt.

Power is the rate at which work is done.

Explanation:

In this question we have to choose the statements related to Power that are True.

In this sense, Power P is the speed with which work W is done. Its unit is Watts (W), being 1 W=\frac{1 Joule}{1 s}.  

Power is mathematically expressed as:

P=\frac{W}{t}

Where t is the time during which work W is performed.

On the other hand, the Work W done by a Force F refers to the release of potential energy from a body that is moved by the application of that force to overcome a resistance along a path. It is a scalar magnitude, and its unit in the International System of Units is the Joule (like energy). Therefore, 1 Joule is the work done by a force of 1 Newton when moving an object, in the direction of the force, along 1 meter (1J=(1N)(1m)=Nm ).

So, according to this explanation, the true statements are:

Power is the rate at which energy is transformed.

The SI unit of power is the watt.

Power is the rate at which work is done.

An object of length 3.00 cm is inside a plastic block with index of refraction 1.40. If the object is viewed from directly above
Lilit [14]
  • The length of its image = -3cm

Given,

length of object, h_o = 3 cm

We know, for flat refracting surface,  

Image distance = object distance

So,

magnification is = -1

length of the image,

h_i = magnification * h_o\\\\h_i = -1 * 3 \\\\h_i = -3cm

Here, negative sign means inverted image.
