The record time for a Tour de France cyclist to ascend the 1100-mm-high Alpe d'Huez is 37.5 minmin. The rider and his bike had a

mass of 65 kg. At the average speed of the ride, the metabolic power to ride on level ground would be 700 W. To this, we must add the power to make the climb. What was his total metabolic power?

Answer:

1945.6 W

Explanation:

We are given that

Height,h=1100 m

Time,t=37.5 min= $37.5\times 60=2250 s$

1 min=60 s

Mass,m=65 kg

Power,P=700 W

We have to find the his total metabolic power.

Power,= $P'=\frac{W}{t}=\frac{mgh}{t}=\frac{65\times 9.8\times 1100}{2250}=311.4 W$

Where $g=9.8m/s^2$

Efficiency =25%

Therefore,Power,P'= $\frac{311.4}{0.25}=1245.6 W$

Total metabolic power=P+P'=700+1245.6=1945.6 W

A bird flies 3.6 km due west and then 1.8 km due north. Another bird flies 1.8 km due west and 3.6 km due north. What is the ang

kondor19780726 [428]

Define unit vectors as follows:
$\hat{i}$ is in the eastern direction.
$\hat{j}$ is in the northern direction.

The position of the first bird is
$\vec{a} = -3.6 \, \hat{i} + 1.8 \, \hat{j}$

The position of the second bird is
$\vec{b} = - 1.8 \, \hat{i} + 3.6 \, \hat{j}$

Let θ = the angle between the net displacement vector for the two birds.
By definition,
$\vec{a} . \vec{b} = |a| |b| cos\theta \\\\ \theta = cos^{-1} ( \frac{\vec{a}.\vec{b}}{|a||b|} )$

$\vec{a}.\vec{b} = (-3.6)(-1.8)+(3.6)(1.8) = 12.96$
$|a| = \sqrt{3.24+12.96} =4.025$
Similarly,
|b| = 4.025

Therefore
$\theta = cos^{-1} \frac{12.96}{4.025^{2}} =36.9^{o}$

Your answer will be C: grass

NOT A, because a mouse would eat seeds, grass, etc
NOT B, because a snake is a carnivore

It took so long because at the time there was no way for people to study the behavior formally. im not sure what helped it get recognized but i know wihelm wundt helped get it recongnized.

Why do atoms like carbon and nitrogen not like to make ions, while sodium and chlorine do?

krok68 [10]

Atoms like carbon and nitrogen do not form ions because the electronegativity of these atoms are not that high nor very low which means electrons are fairly stable in the atom. While chlorine has very high electronegativity and for sodium very low, atoms tend to receive or release electrons.

A huge tank of glycerine with a density of 1.260 g/cm3 is vertically stationed on a platform which is 15 m above the ground. The

EleoNora [17]

Answer:

The tank is losing $4.976*10^{-4} m^3/s$

$v_g = 19.81 \ m/s$

Explanation:

According to the Bernoulli’s equation:

$P_1 + 1 \frac{1}{2} \rho v_1^2 + \rho gh_1 = P_2 + \frac{1}{2} \rho v_2^2 + \rho gh_2$

We are being informed that both the tank and the hole is being exposed to air :

∴ P₁ = P₂

Also as the tank is voluminous ; we take the initial volume $v_1$ ≅ 0 ;

then $v_2$ can be determined as: $\sqrt{[2g (h_1- h_2)]$

h₁ = 5 + 15 = 20 m;

h₂ = 15 m

$v_2 = \sqrt{[2*9.81*(20 - 15)]$

$v_2 = \sqrt{[2*9.81*(5)]$

$v_2= 9.9 \ m/s$ as it leaves the hole at the base.

radius r = d/2 = 4/2 = 2.0 mm

(a) From the law of continuity; its equation can be expressed as:

J = $A_1v_2$

J = πr² $v_2$

J = $\pi *(2*10^{-3})^{2}*9.9$

J = $1.244*10^{-4} m^3/s$

b)

How fast is the water from the hole moving just as it reaches the ground?

In order to determine that; we use the relation of the velocity from the equation of motion which says:

v² = u² + 2gh ₂

v² = 9.9² + 2×9.81×15

v² = 392.31

The velocity of how fast the water from the hole is moving just as it reaches the ground is : $v_g = \sqrt{392.31}$

$v_g = 19.81 \ m/s$
