It is 5.5 km from your home to the physics lab. As part of your physical fitness program, you could run that distance at 10 km/h

(which uses up energy at the rate of 700 W), or you could walk it leisurely at 3.0 km/h (which uses energy at 290 W).
Part A. Which choice would burn up more energy?
Part B. How much energy (in joules) would it burn?
Part C. Why is it that the more intense exercise actually burns up less energy than the less intense one?

Explanation:

Displacement = 5 km

A.

Converting km/h to m/s,

10 km/h * 1000 m/1 km * 1 h/3600 s

= 25/9 m/s

Remember,

700 watt = 700 J/s

Velocity = displacement/time

Time = 5000/(25/9)

= 1800 s

Energy = power * time

= 700 * 1800

= 1,260,000

= 1260 kJ

B.

Converting km/h to m/s,

3 km/h * 1000 m/1 km * 1 h/3600 s

= 5/6 m/s

290 watt = 290 J/s

Velocity = displacement/time

Time = 5000/(5/6)

= 6000 s

Energy = power * time

= 290 * 6000

= 1,740,000

= 1740 kJ

C.

Walking burns more energy; 1,740,000 joules. It burns more because you walk for a greater period of time.

Suppose a scientist conducts a series of experiments and the results are so amazing she wants to share them with other experts i
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

The results have not been through the rigorous process of peer review

Explanation:

When a scientist conducts a study and obtains results, those results ought to be submitted to a reputable journal where the results would go through the rigorous protocol of peer review.

During this process, the reliability of the data presented is ascertained before the results are published for other scientists to see.

If the results are hurriedly published on the internet, many researchers who come in contact with the work may be fed with inaccurate information.

PLZ HELP IM REALLY CONFUSED a boy is playing catch with his friend. He throws the ball straight up. When it leaves his hand, the
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

K.E = 100 J

Final P.E = 100 J

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of any object can be given by the following formula:

K.E = (\frac{1}{2})mv^{2}

where,

K.E = Kinetic Energy

m = mass of ball = 2 kg

v = speed of ball

Initially, v = 10 m/s. Therefore, the initial K.E is given as:

K.E = (\frac{1}{2})(2\ kg)(10\ m/s)^{2}

<u>K.E = 100 J</u>

Now, at the highest point the K.E of the ball becomes zero. because the ball stops for a moment at the highest point and its velocity becomes zero. So, from Law of Conservation of energy:

Initial K.E + Initial P.E = Final K.E + Final P.E

Initial P.E is also zero due to zero height initially.

K.E + 0 = 0 + Final P.E

<u>Final P.E = 100 J</u>

A parallel-plate capacitor in air has a plate separation of 1.76 cm and a plate area of
Monica [59]

Answer:

Explanation:

Plate separation, d = 1.76 cm = 0.0176 m

Area of plates, A = 25 cm^2 = 0.0025 m^2

V = 255 V

(a) Capacitance of capacitor

C = \frac{\epsilon _0A}{d}

C = \frac{8.854\times 10^{-12}\times 0.0025}{0.0176}

C = 1.258 x 10^-12 F

charge is same before and after immersion as the battery is disconnected

q = C V

q = 1.258 x 10^-12 x 255 = 3.2 x 10^-10 C

(b)

Capacitance before, C = 1.258 x 10^-12 C

capacitance after, C' = k x C = 80 x 1.258 x 10^-12 = 100.64 x 10^-12 C

Where, k is the dielectric constant of water = 80

Potential difference after immersion, V' = V / k = 255 / 80 = 3.1875 V

(c) initial energy,

U = \frac{q^{2}}{2C}

U = \frac{(3.2\times 10^{-10})^{2}}{2\times 1.258\times 10^{-12 }}=4.07\times 10^{-8}J

Final energy

U' = \frac{q^{2}}{2C'}

U' = \frac{(3.2\times 10^{-10})^{2}}{2\times 100.64\times 10^{-12}}=5.08\times 10^{-10}J
