Assuming a typical efficiency for energy use by the body, how many slices of pizza must you eat to walk for 2.5 h at a speed of

5.0 km/h? Assume that your mass is 68 kg, metabolic power of 68 kg individual walking at 5 km/h is 380 W, and the energy content of slice of pizza is 1260 kJ.

Answer:

2.7 Pizzas.

Explanation:

The power required to walk through 5km in 1 hour is 380W.

A watt is basically Jules per second, then we need to standardized this measurement to second.

5km/hr is equal to,

$\frac{5km}{hr}*\frac{1hr}{3600s}*\frac{1000m}{1km}=1.389m/s$

Walking by 2.5 hours is equal to a distance of,

$d=v*t=1.389*(2.5*3600) = 12500m$

The total energy required then would be,

$E = \frac{380J}{1.389m/s}(12500)=3.4199*10^6J$

Then we know that one pizza slice gives $1260*10^3J$ of energy, the total pizza needed are,

$\eta = \frac{3.4199*10^6}{1260*10^3} = 2.7142$

<em>Then you need to buy 3 pizza.</em>

Part A What will be the equilibrium temperature when a 227 g block of copper at 283 °C is placed in a 155 g aluminum calorimeter

stellarik [79]

Answer:

T = 20.84°C

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of energy:

Heat Lost by Copper Block = Heat Gained by Aluminum Calorimeter + Heat Gained by Water

$m_cC_c\Delta T_c = m_wC_w\Delta T_w + m_aC_a\Delta T_a$

where,

$m_c$ = mass of copper = 227 g

$m_w$ = mass of water = 844 g

$m_a$ = mass of aluminum = 155 g

$C_c$ = specific heat capacity of calorimeter = 385 J/kg.°C

$C_w$ = specific heat capacity of water = 4200 J/kg.°C

$C_a$ = specific heat capacity of aluminum = 890 J/kg.°C

$\Delta T_c$ = change in temperature of copper = 283°C - T

$\Delta T_w$ = change in temperature of water = T - 14.6°C

$\Delta T_a$ = change in temperature of aluminum = T - 14.6°C

T = equilibrium temperature = ?

Therefore,

$(227\ g)(385\ J/kg.^oC)(283^oC-T)=(844\ g)(4200\ J/kg.^oC)(T-14.6^oC)+(155\ g)(890\ J/kg.^oC)(T-14.6^oC)\\\\24732785\ J - (87395\ J/^oC) T = (3544800\ J/^oC) T - 51754080\ J+ (137950\ J/^oC) T-2014070\ J\\\\24732785\ J +51754080\ J+2014070\ J = (3544800\ J/^oC) T+(137950\ J/^oC+(87395\ J/^oC) T\\\\78560935\ J = (3770145\ J/^oC) T\\\\T = \frac{78560935\ J}{3770145\ J/^oC}$

<u>T = 20.84°C</u>

In an engine, a piston oscillates with simple harmonic motion so that its position varies according to the following expression,

eduard

(a) 4.06 cm

In a simple harmonic motion, the displacement is written as

$x(t) = A cos (\omega t + \phi)$ (1)

where

A is the amplitude

$\omega$ is the angular frequency

$\phi$ is the phase

t is the time

The displacement of the piston in the problem is given by

$x(t) = (5.00 cm) cos (5t+\frac{\pi}{5})$ (2)

By putting t=0 in the formula, we find the position of the piston at t=0:

$x(0) = (5.00 cm) cos (0+\frac{\pi}{5})=4.06 cm$

(b) -14.69 cm/s

In a simple harmonic motion, the velocity is equal to the derivative of the displacement. Therefore:

$v(t) = x'(t) = -\omega A sin (\omega t + \phi)$ (3)

Differentiating eq.(2), we find

$v(t) = x'(t) = -(5 rad/s)(5.00 cm) sin (5t+\frac{\pi}{5})=-(25.0 cm/s) sin (5t+\frac{\pi}{5})$

And substituting t=0, we find the velocity at time t=0:

$v(0)=-(25.00 cm/s) sin (0+\frac{\pi}{5})=-14.69 cm/s$

(c) -101.13 cm/s^2

In a simple harmonic motion, the acceleration is equal to the derivative of the velocity. Therefore:

$a(t) = v'(t) = -\omega^2 A cos (\omega t + \phi)$

Differentiating eq.(3), we find

$a(t) = v'(t) = -(5 rad/s)(25.00 cm/s) cos (5t+\frac{\pi}{5})=-(125.0 cm/s^2) cos (5t+\frac{\pi}{5})$

And substituting t=0, we find the acceleration at time t=0:

$a(0)=-(125.00 cm/s) cos (0+\frac{\pi}{5})=-101.13 cm/s^2$

(d) 5.00 cm, 1.26 s

By comparing eq.(1) and (2), we notice immediately that the amplitude is

A = 5.00 cm

For the period, we have to start from the relationship between angular frequency and period T:

$\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}$

Using $\omega = 5.0 rad/s$ and solving for T, we find

$T=\frac{2\pi}{5 rad/s}=1.26 s$
