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

Answer:

a

The speed is   s =  5.857 m/s

b

The distance is  D = 22.4  \  m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The speed of the banana is  v =  16 \ m/s

   The distance from my  location is  d =  8.2  \ m  

     The time taken is  t = 1.4 \ s

The speed of the ice cream is

          s =  \frac{d}{t}

substituting values

        s =  \frac{8.4}{1.4}

        s =  5.857 m/s

The distance of separation between i and Valdimir is the same as the distance covered by the banana

   So  

          D =  v * t

substituting values

        D = 16 *  1.4

        D = 22.4  \  m

How did Aristotle's inability to detect parallax lead him to propose a geocentric model of the Solar System.
sasho [114]
He reasoned that since parallax could not be observed for celestial objects near the sun, then the earth was stationary. This erroneous assumption was because at the time he had no way of knowing that celestial objects were so far away that their parallax angles were too small to detect.

Fiora starts riding her bike at 20 mi/h. After a while, she slows down to 14 mi/h, and maintains that speed for the rest of the
goblinko [34]

Answer:

3.5 hours

Explanation:

Speed = distance/time

Let the distance that Fiora biked at 20 mi/h through be x miles and the time it took her to bike through that distance be t hours at 20 mi/h

Then, the rest of the distance that she biked at 14 mi/h is (112 - x) miles

And the time she spent biking at 14 mi/h the rest of the distance = (6.5 - t) hours

Her first biking speed = 20 mph = 20 miles/hour

Speed = distance/time

20 = x/t

x = 20 t (eqn 1)

Her second biking speed = 14 mph = 14 miles/hour

14 = (112 - x)/(6.5 - t)

112 - x = 14 (6.5 - t)

112 - x = 91 - 14t (eqn 2)

Substitute for x in (eqn 2)

112 - 20t = 91 - 14t

20t - 14t = 112 - 91

6t = 21

t = 3.5 hours

x = 20t = 20 × 3.5 = 70 miles.

(112 - x) = 112 - 70 = 42 miles

(6.5 - t) = 6.5 - 3.5 = 3 hours

Meaning that she travelled at 20 mi/h for 3.5 hours.
