The energy content of food is conventionally measured in Calories rather than joules. One Calorie in nutrition is equal to 4184

J. Metabolizing 1 g of fat can release 9.00 Calories. A 75.7 kg student decides to try to lose weight by exercising. He plans to run up and down the stairs in a football stadium as fast as he can and as many times as necessary. To evaluate the program, suppose he runs up a flight of 100 steps, each 0.150 m high, in 59.9 s. For simplicity, ignore the energy he uses in coming down (which is small). Part a (1 points) What is his average power output, in watts, as he runs up the stairs? Note that the power output is the rate of mechanical work generated, not the rate at which energy is consumed. Please enter a numerical answer below. Accepted formats are numbers or "e" based scientific notation e.g. 0.23,-2, 1e6, 5.23e-8 Enter answer here W CHECK ANSWER 0 of 4 attempts used (1 points) Part b A typical efficiency for human muscles is 20.0%. For instance, when your body metabolizes 100 J of chemical energy it converts this into 20 J of mechanical work (here, climbing stairs), while the remainder is lost to thermal energy. Assuming all the energy consumed during exercise comes from burning fat, how many times must he run up the flight of stairs to burn 1.00 kg of fat? [for simplicity assume his total mass remains constant during this process] Please enter a numerical answer below.

Answer:

Part a)

P = 186 W

Part B)

N = 676 times

Explanation:

Part a)

Average power is rate of energy consumption

So it is given as

P = \frac{mgh}{t}

P = \frac{100(75.7)(9.81)(0.150)}{59.9}

P = 186 W

Part b)

If the efficiency is given as

\eta = 20%

so we know that 20% of total energy consumed is converted into output work

So total power consumed here will be given as

P = \frac{186}{0.20}

P = 930 W

Energy consumed by him

E = power \times time

E = 930 \times 59.9

E = 55707 J

now we know that 1 g fat will release 9 Calories energy

So we have

1 g = 9 \times 4184 J

1 g = 37656 J

so to consume 1000 g of fat we need to release  total energy

E = 37656 \times 10^3 J

so total number of times

N = \frac{37656 \times 10^3}{55707}

N = 676 times

Mercury has an average disease to the sun of 0.39 AU. In two or more complete sentences, explain how to calculate the orbital pe
alukav5142 [94]

Answer: 88 Earth days

Explanation:

According to the Kepler Third  Law of Planetary motion <em>“The square of the orbital period of a planet is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis (size) of its orbit”. </em>

<em />

In other words, this law states a relation between the orbital period T of a body (moon, planet, satellite) orbiting a greater body in space with the size a of its orbit:

T^{2}=a^{3} (1)

If we assume the orbit is circular and apply Newton's law of motion and the Universal Law of Gravity we have:

T^{2}=\frac{4\pi^{2}}{GM}a^{3} (2)

Where M is the mass of the massive object and G is the universal gravitation constant. If we assume M constant and larger enough to consider G  really small, we can write a general form of this law:

MT^{2}=a^{3} (3)

Where T is in units of Earth years,  a is in AU (<u>1 Astronomical Unit is the average distane between the Earth and the Sun)</u> and  M is the mass of the central object  in units of the mass of the Sun.

This means when we are making calculations with planets in our solar system  M=1.

Hnece, in the case of Mercury:

(1)T^{2}=(0.39 AU)^{3} (4)

Isolating T:

T=\sqrt{(0.39 AU)^{3}} (5)

T=0.243 Earth-years \frac{365 days}{1 Earth-year}=88.6 days \approx 88 days (6)

This means the period of Mercury is 88 days.
