Normally the rate at which you expend energy during a brisk walk is 3.6 Calories per minute. (A Calorie is the common unit of fo

od energy, equal to 4184.1 J.) How long do you have to walk to produce the same amount of energy as a 150 W lightbulb that is lit for 5.8 hours?

Answer:

3.5 hour

Step-by-step explanation:

During a brisk walk, rate at which energy is expended is P(expend) = 3.6 calories per min

1 calorie = 4184.1 J

Energy produced by bulb is P(bulb) = 150W

time = 5.8 hrs

Convvert 5.8 hrs to secs. we have

t = 5.8*3600

t= 20880 secs

Power = Energy/time

150 = energy / 20880

Energy = 150 * 20880

= 3132000J

Convert the rate at which cv h energy is expended into joules per second, we have

(3.6 * 4184.1)/60

P(expend) = 251J/s

= 251W

Recall that P = E/t

t = E/p

t = 3132000/251

t = 12478 secs

Convert secs to hour

t = 12478/ 3600

t= 3.5 hours

The time requtied to produce the s\me amount of energy as 150W bulb that lights up 5..8hrs is t = 3.5 hrs

Firefighters need to use a 60-foot ladder to save a child. She is 50 feet above street
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

The ladder must be placed at a distance of 33.2 feet from the bottom of the building

Step-by-step explanation:

From what we have here, we are looking at a right angled triangle with the hypotenuse which is the length of the ladder

The height of the child is 50 feet from ground level

So we need to get the third side of the triangle

We can get this by considering the use of Pythagoras’ theorem

This will give us the length of the third side of the triangle

From Pythagoras’ the square of the hypotenuse is equal the sum of the squares of the two other sides

Let the unknown side be x

Thus;

60^2 = 50^2 + x^2

x^2 = 60^2 - 50^2

x^2 = (60-50)(60+50)

x^2 = (10)(110)

x^2 = 1100

x = square root of 1100

x = 33.166

To the nearest tenth, this is 33.2 feet
