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

You push on a cart (18.0kg) at a 30 degree below horizontal angle. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the chair and the
podryga [215]

Given that force is applied at an angle of 30 degree below the horizontal

So let say force applied if F

now its two components are given as

F_x = Fcos30


F_y = Fsin30


Now the normal force on the block is given as

N = Fsin30 + mg

N = 0.5F + (18\times 9.8)

N = 0.5F + 176.4

now the friction force on the cart is given as

F_f = \mu N

F_f = 0.625(0.5F + 176.4)

F_f = 110.25 + 0.3125F

now if cart moves with constant speed then net force on cart must be zero

so now we have

F_f + F_x = 0

Fcos30 - (110.25 + 0.3125F) = 0

0.866F - 0.3125F = 110.25

F = 199.2 N

so the force must be 199.2 N

The photon energies used in different types of medical x-ray imaging vary widely, depending upon the application. Single dental
pav-90 [236]

A) 5.0\cdot 10^{-11} m

The energy of an x-ray photon used for single dental x-rays is

E=25 keV = 25,000 eV \cdot (1.6\cdot 10^{-19} J/eV)=4\cdot 10^{-15} J

The energy of a photon is related to its wavelength by the equation

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}

where

h=6.63\cdot 10^{-34}Js is the Planck constant

c=3\cdot 10^8 m/s is the speed of light

\lambda is the wavelength

Re-arranging the equation for the wavelength, we find

\lambda=\frac{hc}{E}=\frac{(6.63\cdot 10^{-34} Js)(3\cdot 10^8 m/s)}{4\cdot 10^{-15}J}=5.0\cdot 10^{-11} m

B) 2.0\cdot 10^{-11} m

The energy of an x-ray photon used in microtomography is 2.5 times greater than the energy of the photon used in part A), so its energy is

E=2.5 \cdot (4\cdot 10^{-15}J)=1\cdot 10^{-14} J

And so, by using the same formula we used in part A), we can calculate the corresponding wavelength:

\lambda=\frac{hc}{E}=\frac{(6.63\cdot 10^{-34} Js)(3\cdot 10^8 m/s)}{1\cdot 10^{-14}J}=2.0\cdot 10^{-11} m
