Answer:

349 m

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Mass of climber, m = 92.6 kg

Amount of food calories = 735

1 food calorie = 103 calories

735 food calories = 75705 calories

1 joule is equal to 0.239 calories. Therefore, 75705 calories will be 316749.72 joules.

Hence, this is the amount of work the climber must do work off the food he ate.

Work done is given as:

W = Force * distance

W = m * g * h

h = W/(m * g)

h = 316749.72/(92.6 * 9.8)

h = 349 m

can you suggest improvement that can be made towards the design of siphon so that the transfer of liquid is much higher.​
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

A siphon is a tube that makes use of the potential energy of fluid at an elevated level to transfer the fluid to a lower level, due to pressure differences between the inlet and the outlet points of the tube, such that the pressure at the outlet is higher than the pressure at the inlet

The pressure energy is converted into velocity (kinetic) energy, and therefore, in other to increase the flow rate through the tube of a siphon, with constant diameter, the level of the fluid in the container at the inlet (supply) of the siphon is raised higher than the level at the outlet receiving) container or the outlet point of the siphon tube

The larger the difference between the inlet and outlet levels, the faster the transfer of fluid by the siphon

At t = 0, a particle starts at rest and moves along a line in such a way that, at time t, its acceleration is 24t 2 ft / s2. thr
svp [43]
The acceleration of the particle at time t is:
a(t)=24t^2 ft/s^2
The velocity of the particle at time t is given by the integral of the acceleration a(t):
v(t)= \int a(t) \, dt = \int (24 t^2) dt=24 \frac{t^3}{3}=8t^3 ft/s
and the position of the particle at time t is given by the integral of the velocity v(t):
x(t)=\int v(t) = \int (8t^3)=8  \frac{t^4}{4}=2t^4 ft

Assuming the particle starts from position x(0)=0 at t=0, the distance the particle covers in the first t=2 seconds can be found by substituting t=2 s in the equation of x(t):
x(2 s)=2 t^4 = 2 (2s)^4=32 ft

What is the wavelength of a radar signal that has a frequency of 27 GHz? The speed of light is 3 × 108 m/s. Answer in units of m
marusya05 [52]

Explanation:

speed of light= c

wave length= L

frequency= f

c=Lf → L= c/f → L= 3 × 10⁸/ 27 × 10⁹ → L = 1/90 ≈ 0.011 m

How much work will it take to lift a 2-kg pair of hiking boots 2 meters off the
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

Option C - 39.2 J

Explanation:

We are given that;

Mass; m = 2 kg.

Distance moved off the floor;d = 10 m.

Acceleration due to gravity;g = 9.8 m/s².

We want to find the work done.

Now, the Formula for work done is given by;

Work = Force × displacement.

In this case, it's force of gravity to lift up the boots, thus;

Formula for this force is;

Force = mass x acceleration due to gravity

Force = 2 × 9.8 = 19.2 N

∴ Work done = 19.6 × 2

Work done = 39.2 J.

Hence, the Work done to life the boot of 2 kg to a height of 2 m is 39.2 J.
